What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is still in active development, we are looking for community feedback to help the game reach its full potential. The game is nearing completion, though bugfixes will be added during the early access period.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are in the final stages of early access, and plan to be out of early access by 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The last big ticket item to be added to the game during early access is the Mothman story hunt. This will take Folklore Hunter to three story hunts in total, plus the metagame contract hunts.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All features listed in the "about this game" section are implemented and available in the current version of Folklore Hunter. These include:
  • Full multiplayer co-op support
  • Gathering resources / hidden caches
  • Minimap system
  • Cameras that can be placed and viewed through
  • Advanced hunting / tracking system
  • 2 types of natural wildlife
  • Trapping / bait system
  • Two story hunts with custom cryptids.
  • Character progression.
  • Randomized contract missions.
  • Equipment shop and storage.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price a small amount after leaving early access. We will announce this ahead of time to the community to give them time to jump in at the current price!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have a developer discord community that we stay active in. We also love feedback via the forums or reviews.”

About This Game

Hunt through abandoned campsites, old watchtowers, cabins and cave systems. Explore in any direction you choose and survey the landscape to gain an upper hand in your hunts, for it might be wise to diverge from the beaten path…


Play hunts and take contracts together with full online multiplayer co-op with an unlimited number of friends. Gather your hunting party, strategize together, and unlock the secrets of the forest with your friends.


Traps and cameras are a vital part of a supernatural hunter’s arsenal. Place them whenever, wherever, and however you like in order to have eyes anywhere on the map. But be careful, you never know what might be looking at you on the other end.


Each hunt has its own fully handcrafted environment and story to tell. Discover clues, follow maps, solve puzzles, and survive harsh environments all while uncovering unspoken mysteries. 


Scavenge for extra ammo, cameras, traps, meat, and other helpful resources to assist with the hunt. An expert hunter will find a way to get the job done with the options presented to them.


Take what you have learned and gathered, then head back to the Fortress, where you can unlock and purchase new gear to help you in the next hunt. Be careful though, if you die in a hunt, you don't always bring everything back…


Even after discovering all the creatures Folklore Hunter has to offer, there is always someone out there willing to hire expert hunters for new jobs! Take a contract from the notice board at the Fortress and complete a randomized hunt where no two expeditions are the same.


Only the greatest supernatural hunters will stand a chance of slaying the beast. Many have tried, many have failed. You will need to use all your stops to win this battle of wills. Hunt smart.
