About the Game

A horror lurks beneath the earth. Terror rises from the past.

YOU are a hunter; a man or woman of wealth and leisure who has turned their time to hunting the fiendish monsters that assail humanity. A treasure hunter asks you to watch over his seemingly cursed archaeological dig. What nightmares lie beneath the softly whispering grasses of Dry River, and will YOU be able to hurl them back from whence they came?

A choose your own adventure novel in which your choices and actions can lead you to glorious victory...or ignoble defeat. Explore an original story with three challenging game difficulties, unlock hidden lore to better understand the world you enter, and enjoy the artwork you discover in the gallery.

This independently produced novel features a dark soundtrack (with optional atmospherics) by Cryo Chamber, as well as over 40 unique page images to unlock.
The text of the game has also been recorded by a professional musician and story-teller, making it into an interactive audiobook. Combine your ancestral Heirlooms with the new Traits system to customise your Hunter before taking on the horrors which await you. Tattered Sails returns to the slow-burn investigative horror of the earlier Hunter's Journals games, bringing another slice of horror fiction to enjoy again and again.
