Hunt the Night is a punishingly beautiful, dark fantasy action-RPG that draws inspiration from the gothic atmosphere of Bloodborne and the top-down exploration of The Legend of Zelda. Set in the decaying world of Medhram, humanity is caught in a devastating cycle where the “Night” periodically rises to annihilate all glints of light. You play as Vesper, a skilled member of the “Stalkers,” who must navigate horrific dungeons and ancient ruins to break this cycle once and for all.
The game is defined by its high-intensity, “glass cannon” combat. Vesper can seamlessly switch between swift melee combos and long-range firearms, but resources are scarce—bullets are regained by landing successful sword strikes, forcing a constant, aggressive dance with death. The pixel art is exceptionally detailed, capturing a sense of dread and melancholic beauty across desolate cathedrals and floating cities. With a soundtrack featuring the legendary Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana), Hunt the Night delivers a somber, skill-based experience where understanding enemy telegraphs and mastering your dark abilities are the only ways to survive the encroaching shadows.
