It's not evil, but the instinct that moves you,
the deep impulse that connects the man and the beast... Survive!
And your survival will depend on your victims' death...

This is the fate of a monster...

Looks great. Style reminds me of Darkest Dungeon and Mike Mignola artwork.
Keep up the great work :)

Theme, mood and graphics get 10 stars out of 5 :)
I loved the game. Really gives the experience of invincible monster, lurking and hunting its prey.
As i said, superb art style.

Realy impressive, and disturbing. The scary mood is perfectly done and I the introduction scène is perfect. I just wish there would be more !

The graphics is impressive. I love the two modes of hunt, it could be more separated. I did not understand the voice though. Great job!

Wow, the mod in this game is devastating. The polish you put into this game is amazing, great job. I just wish it was a little more complex gameplay wise, but everything else make up for it easily.

Best looking game so far!
However the gameplay is a bit flat and easily exploitable by continous leaping.

How many people worked on this? If you were only one why not join compo with this?

Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you all!

@Team Klappermann

I've worked alone on this project, I have decided to not participate in the compo for two main reasons:

1 - Time: in three days I could barely make the game playable, in two days it would be impossible for me;

2 - Code: in a past Ludum Dare, some people stole my code and published the game on the Play Store/iTunes market;

For these reasons I participate only to the JAM.

The graphic is AMAZING! Damn! Really great! Well done! ;D
The gameplay is simple but nice!
It's not so deep.. And the sound of the voice is barely listenable..
BTW Great Entry! :D

Art + shaders were used very effectively to create a YATM mood.

Really really cool and the art style is fantastic. This is such an awesomely polished entry. Made me feel like wanting to play a red riding hood murder sim as the wolf, being pursued by a huntsman :p

Wow this game is really gorgeous, and the atmosphere is breathtaking =)

If you made a complete game, I would totally play it!

Welp, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!
This was very well done. The narration really adds to the overall feel. Graphics are cool. I was a big fan of the "search" mechanic as well.
Is there a way to die at all?

Hey! Thanks for making a game.

What we liked:
Really solid and inventive art, great sound and music design, very on point with mood and theme for the jam, intelligent tutorial within the game itself. The atmosphere reminded me of the film Sleepy Hollow.

What could be improved:
A bit more variety? Maybe some element of trying to escape from people trying to hunt you down. Minor point though. Good job!

Totally awesome game. Really nice graphics and mood. The gameplay is a bit repetitive, but as the game is short it's okay. Good job !

Theme, graphics and mood are all great, the gameplay is really repetative though and it seems like there is no real way to lose.

Woaaaouhh ! The atmosphere of the game is fantastic : I loved the graphics and the sounds. Well done :)

Disturbing, atmospheric and gorgeous. The gameplay is secondary to the mood here but the mood and atmosphere is very well crafted. The search mechanism is a good one to have because otherwise the game could be frustrating, but I feel it's a bit too powerful. At least I would've liked searching for the pray a bit longer each time. Still excellent job!

The mood of this game wasgood. I liked the bilboard art in a 3d world. Felt good to play and it would have been better if there was a more clear objective.

Great atmosphere of game.
I killed 3 people and then got lost :( in the wood. I consider game has a huge potential.

Great graphics and really nice atmosphere. I found the tree collisions were a bit frustrating at times when moving through the forest. I really wanted to see a bit more depth to the gameplay. Like having an objective of the type of prey or a stats gauge etc. (i.e. some limitations to the play. Loved the voiceover work too.

The graphics and mood are top-notch, well done! The woman's voice adds a lot to the experience and makes the game even more disturbing.

Awesome, awesome work!

To be honest, I had a real hard time understanding the dialog and I felt cheated by that because I was captivated by the game. The style was amazing, the interaction was fantastic, all around, I truly enjoyed the mechanics of this!

Really not much to it. Click to show red dots, eat the girl, rinse, wash, repeat. Is there any actual objective or ending to the game?

Completely agree with the others here, you've nailed that horror monster feel perfectly. Chasing fleeing maidens through the forest was uneasy and compelling, great work.

Of course there was no objective here (perhaps due to time) but what there was was magnificent.

My god, it's soo good. Graphics audio and mood are over the top! With these mad skills you should work in game industry (if you aren't already). Hah, i will check your earlier entires (when i get time) for sure.

This atmosphere is perfect! I missed subtitles because I could not fully understand what was being said, but on the other side, not having subtitles helped get me more immersed...

Light on actual gameplay, but that hardly matters - very atmospheric.

the atmosphere, the art, the sounds, everything is amazing.
A little repetitive. could be improve by adding hunters at some points.

This is one of the best games I've played so far this LD, art was beautiful, sound was spot on (girl's weeping and cries for help were chilling) and the mechanics were fun and innovative. Seriously great entry, thanks for participating :D

Nice style and execution. Created a nice atmosphere, but the gameplay felt very one note. All you do is kill helpless women randomly in the woods. Felt like this was going somewhere then it just ends. Would love to see this expanded!

There isn't a lot of game play here, the but the environment and atmospherics are top-notch. Amazing theme loyalty, I felt very much like the monster. Nice job!

The real monster might've been me for going after those defenseless girls with such drive. Cool aesthetic and the gameplay, while simple, feels good.

Great work on the graphics and atmosphere. Gameplay could use a bit more variety, and the voiceover could use (optional) subtitles (but then I have a thing about subtitles in games).

Very nice. At first was thinking of making something similar in atmosphere and gameplay, but seemed like too much work to make all the characters, you thought of the way to simplify it and still make it work well.

looks realy nice, and grate sound track , I realy like sketched bilboarded tress, the way the look like ur pushing them out the way as u walk past them is awesome

Horrible mood. Nice aesthetic. I think I will be haunted by this little girl and by her tears during a long long time. Sure you are a monster. Well done ++

Very good graphics indeed. And the effects, sound and visuals work very well together to build up a solid atmosphere. It only needs more game-play. Either by making it arcady by having a ferocious hunger or by having a large world with villages, mountains and what not to explore. Have humans react to people missing/slain. Stuff like that. A great starting point for a very interesting game though.
