About these games

Way of the Hunter

Become the owner of a hunting lodge set in gorgeous habitats with rich animal populations. In large open worlds in the USA and Europe you hunt with a premium selection of firearms, either alone or with friends in co-op. Animals show true to life group behavior and the ecosystems around you shift and respond to your input, while ethical hunting is framed by a story about a family hunting business. Hunter Sense can highlight important details and info, and the game also offers realistic ballistics, a trophy system and an economy where you sell meat to buy gear.

Way of the Hunter 2

Way of the Hunter 2 is a realistic hunting simulation set across vast wilderness in North America and Africa. Players track game in three distinct regions, studying tracks, movement patterns and habitat conditions before taking a shot, and face dangerous wildlife such as hippos, buffalo, lions and Nile crocodiles. At the Hearth & Hunt headquarters in the Rocky Mountain region they build an expandable lodge with extra rooms and trophy displays, travelling with a dog companion. They also take on challenges for local residents in New Laurentia and Kilimaya Reserve, helping to preserve regional ecosystems.

Virtual Hunter

Virtual Hunter brings realistic hunting into virtual reality. Red deer, European hare, wild boar and fallow deer roam a large open wilderness where the player picks weapons, packs equipment, sets the time and heads out to track animals, use hunting towers or follow intuition. Weapon handling and ballistics can be mastered at the range; stabilization allows accurate shots at longer distances, and animals sense the hunter by sight, smell and hearing, so the right weapon or ammo brings better rewards. Trophies can be taxidermied and placed around the lodge, and up to six players can hunt together.

The Long Dark

The Long Dark is an exploration-survival game in which a solo player has to fend for themselves in a vast frozen wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster. No zombies await, only the cold and everything nature can throw at you. It offers Survival Mode, a free-form, non-narrative sandbox where survival is the only goal and death the only end, along with the episodic narrative mode WINTERMUTE. Players watch hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold, every action costs calories, and dying in Survival deletes your save.

Kona

It is October 1970 and a strange blizzard sweeps across Atamipek Lake in Northern Canada. Wealthy industrialist W. Hamilton hires private detective Carl Faubert to look into vandalism at his hunting manor, yet Faubert ends up stranded in the far north, unable to reach his client or any other living inhabitant. He has to survive the harsh elements while untangling the odd events. This narrative-driven adventure mixes detective work with survivalism, told by an omniscient third-person storyteller in a look reminiscent of 1970s rural communities, with music by Quebec folk band CuréLabel.

Receiver 2

Receiver 2 is a single-player action game in which the player learns to operate firearms down to the smallest detail. Each sidearm is simulated from manufacturer schematics and gunsmithing resources, covering loading and unloading, clearing malfunctions and handling the safety features. It is not an ordinary shooter: enemies use physically-based damage models and a single well-placed shot destroys them, with ballistics drawn from shooting incident reconstruction textbooks. The player faces the Threat and cultivates the Receiver virtues of resilience, focus and courage.
