In partnership with World of Darkness and Paradox Interactive, Choice of Games is proud to announce the release of Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove by William Brown, now available on Steam, iOS, and Android. It’s 25% off until January 23!

William Brown’s earlier game The Mysteries of Baroque is 33% off as well!

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.

We hope you enjoy playing Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove. We encourage you to tell your friends about it, and recommend the game on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and other sites.

  1. So excited for this game’s release! Congrats to the author, William Brown, and I hope everyone enjoys this one :slight_smile:

    Also if you’ve never played it, try one of William’s other games—The Mysteries of Baroque, is one of my favorites. Absolutely bananas plot and great worldbuilding. It’s on sale for $3.99 USD for the release week of The Beast of Glenkildove.

  2. I don’t think I’ve seen it anywhere, but how many words are there

    Well, I PERSONALLY think it’s great a game I’ve been waiting on for like a year or something drops on the exact week I’m tackling a huge work project, and just one day after The Roottrees Are Dead commercial version release (which I haven’t had time to tackle yet). It’s perfect and I’m NOT BITTER AT ALL!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

    (anyway, bought)
