About the Game

The Headless Hunter is a tense and atmospheric horror game set across three forsaken towns, all surrounding a dense, cursed forest. A headless rider roams the woods, bound to an ancient curse and determined to stop anyone from breaking it.

Your only chance to end the nightmare is to find and collect cursed relics scattered throughout the towns and deliver them to the altar hidden deep within the forest. But nothing is ever that simple. The hunter can sense when someone dares to touch his relics, and the moment you do, the hunt begins.

The more relics you collect, the angrier he becomes. His search grows more intense, his presence more suffocating. What starts as a distant threat lurking in the forest soon turns into a relentless pursuit as he ventures into the towns, hunting you down. You’ll need to move between towns, solving puzzles and completing objectives to unlock access to each cursed relic, all while staying one step ahead of the hunter.

Every choice matters—sneak through the dense woods or risk faster but exposed roads. Move carefully, because the headless rider is always listening, always watching, and the more you push forward, the closer he gets.

Can you survive the hunt and lift the curse before becoming the hunter’s next victim?
