“Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove” Demo Available Now!

Posted by: Mary Duffy | Comments (31)

We’re super excited for the release of Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove on December 19th!

Today, for the first time, you can try the free demo on Steam! (Don’t forget to add us to your Steam wishlist! The more wishlists we get, the better the game will do on Steam on release day.)

Full moon. Cold night. Dark shadow. Warm gun. The Beast of Glenkildove has stalked Ireland for centuries. Now, you must hunt it.

Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove is an interactive novel by William Brown, set in the World of Darkness. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Eight years ago, when you were eighteen, the Beast of Glenkildove killed one of your closest friends. You’ve never returned to Ireland since that day.

It’s difficult to remember what happened. As you’ll soon learn, the human mind blots out the traumatic memories of facing a werewolf.

Now, you must stalk that werewolf across the shadowed glens and fogbound mountains of Ireland, hunting a shapeshifting killing machine with your friends, your wits, and a shotgun.

But you and your friends are not alone. You have entered a world of Hunters, humans who dare to challenge the dominion of the monsters who rule over them. Can you trust the fanatics of the Society of Leopold, the scholars and savants of the Arcanum, the ruthless Duffy crime family, or the enigmatic biotech company Fada?

Can you even trust your oldest friends?

Redemption for some. Retribution for others. A reckoning for all.

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; befriend or romance humans and supernaturals of any gender
• Kill, study, capture, document or negotiate with the creatures you hunt
• Craft your own traps, gear, and weapons to take the Hunt to the enemy
• Find camaraderie and romance with the only people in the world that you can trust to fight alongside you
• Adopt and train your own wolfhound to assist you in the Hunt
• Build and maintain your own safehouse at the Wolf’s Head Inn in the Wicklow Mountains

Become the thing that even nightmares fear.

  1. Is there a chance that the demo could be released for mobile or do I have to wait until it’s close for release? I don’t have a PC so I can’t download it off of Steam

    Edit: Never mind, found it.

  2. Let’s go! Cliffhanger: Challenger of Tomorrow and The Book of Hungry Names are my two favorite IFs, so I’m incredibly hyped for a World of Darkness game by William Brown :grin:

  3. So excited for this!

  4. The stat screen looks unfinished (I’m guessing it’s meant to display attributes and skills like in all other WoD games). And I know it’s just a demo but I hope the final version implements storyteller mode
