About the Game

Welcome to BULT — a realistic hunting simulator where your skills determine the outcome.

The game may feel challenging at first, but that’s because BULT is about learning what it takes to become a true hunter

To succeed, you’ll have access to:

  • Weapons — choose shotguns and ammunition that fit your hunting style and strategy;

  • Mobility & Concealment — use boats, camouflage blinds, and the right clothing to stay hidden;

  • The Art of Decoying — influence flock behavior by placing decoys and using different calls.

GAME FEATURES

  • Ducks Are More Than Flying Targets

Bayanay AI does not follow scripted flight paths. Every bird is driven by realistic instincts: they flock together, search for food, react to weather and time of day, and most importantly — they notice your mistakes...

Wounded birds may hide in reeds or escape across the water.

  • Realistic Ballistics

Every shot is calculated using real-world physics: pellet mass, muzzle velocity, air resistance, and shot spread all affect the result. Shotgun mechanics are based on authentic ballistic data.

  • Hunting in Yakutia

Explore an open world inspired by the wild landscapes of Yakutia: misty wetlands, lakeshores, and hunting grounds built with a strong focus on realism and immersion.

Dynamic weather and lighting systems ensure that no two hunts feel the same.

  • A Living Soundscape

Real bird recordings combined with dynamic audio processing allow you to identify the direction and distance of sounds entirely by ear.

Immerse yourself in a living ecosystem where every sound matters.

  • Responsible Hunting

Respect rare and protected species listed in the Red Data Book. BULT is designed not only to teach precision and hunting skills, but also to encourage a responsible attitude toward nature and wildlife.

Whether you're an experienced hunter, a nature enthusiast, or someone who believes patience and knowledge should be rewarded — this game was made for you!
