Story
Young River has lived a carefree life until his grandfather, a seasoned hunter, falls ill. Faced with the potential collapse of the family business, it’s up to you to step into his boots. Take on the mantle of a professional hunter, stock local shops with premium meat, and run a successful ranch.
Gameplay
In Way of the Hunter, you step into the shoes of a hunting lodge owner. Begin your journey at the ranch, where you’ll master the basics of your new profession. Choose between two expansive maps—one in the United States and one in Europe, each spanning over 140 square kilometers of diverse terrain.
The game emphasizes the intricacies of hunting, challenging you to utilize your skills, gear, and weapons effectively. Navigate the wilderness on foot or by vehicle to find the optimal hunting spots. Track game, follow blood trails, and aim for a successful shot. The game’s realism is evident through its dynamic weather, time-of-day changes, and lighting effects, which influence animal behavior. Careless movements or excessive noise can scare away your prey, and over-hunting can disrupt the ecosystem’s balance.
