About the Game

Folk-Tography is a 4 player Co-op game where you and your friends are a Cryptid Hunters on an expedition to Folk Valley to Photograph, Hunt Down, and Survive legendary Cryptids! Uncover strange Anomalies and Extract with your evidence.

In Depth Camera & Photo Rating System

Getting the perfect shot takes more than pointing your camera at a cryptid. Every photo is graded across three major factors:

  • Focus: Keep your subject in frame to fill the focus meter. Move too much or lose your subject, and the meter will drain, leaving you with a blurry photo.

  • Framing: Keep your subject centered in the frame for a better composition.

  • Fill: Get closer to your subject to make them occupy more of the photograph.

The better your photo, the higher your rating and the bigger your payout.

The valley is Unforgiving, and staying alive means keeping track of three vital resources: Health, Stamina, and Sanity.

Search abandoned campsites and supply caches for food and other resources or risk becoming another ghost in the valley, leaving your photos behind.

Sanity is where things get dangerous. Stray from the trails and the darkness will begin to consume you. Get too close to certain cryptids and your sanity can plummet. As it falls, reality itself begins to unravel with audio and visual hallucinations. Let it drop too far, and the darkness will start eating away at your health.

Stay near the light. Stick with your friends. Find a hot cup of coffee when you need it. And whatever you do, don't let your flashlight die.

Clear Anomalies. Call for Extraction.

Every expedition comes with a new set of paranormal anomalies to investigate. Before you can call for extraction, your team must locate and clear a certain number of them scattered throughout the valley.

But anomalies are short challenges that can put your team in some seriously dangerous situations.

Repair a malfunctioning generator. Investigate a crashed UFO. Each anomaly presents its own unique task, and some come with consequences if you get it wrong.

Split up to cover more ground and clear anomalies faster, or stick together for safety. The more you explore, the more chances you'll have to find cryptids, and stumble into something you weren't expecting.


Customize Your Hunter

Make your cryptid hunter your own with a wide range of Outfits, Accessories, Species, and Patterns. Mix and match hundreds of combinations to create a hunter that best represents you.

Every successful expedition pays out based on the evidence you bring home. The better your photos, the bigger your payday. Spend your hard earned currency back at the Hunter's Lodge to unlock New Cosmetics and show off your style on your next expedition.

Build Your Cryptid Field Guide
Every successful extraction expands your personal collection of legendary creatures and paranormal phenomena.

Improve your ratings by capturing higher quality photographs, discover hidden species, complete your Field Guide, and discover hidden lore on each of your subjects.

The valley still has many secrets waiting to be documented.
