Lore:
The main campaign takes place in Hells Valley National Park in Pennsylvania, which has been closed off to the public for years due to dozens of murders and unexplained disappearances. You have been invited by your friend to help him hunt The Rake after years of tracking down its home. You arrive only to find a blood stain, flashlight, and a frantically written note. This is where the main quest picks up, which revolves around going from location to location searching for your friend while completing mini-objectives and having to defend yourself from The Rake along the way. The main quest is non-linear so you can complete any quest at anytime, it's also completely optional so if you want to just explore the map and kill the rake you can do that too. The second campaign (Rake 2015 Map Remake) Takes place two months after continues the story.
No AI Used In Development/Marketing:
No AI was used in any part of the development/marketing of the game by me or any team members. Everything that goes into the game that was made by somebody else is checked by me to make sure its 100% made by a real person every step of the way.
