Creature Hunt

A common theme in some horror movies where the antagonist is a killer or a monster is the element of anticipation, where you only get to see the culprit about an hour into the movie. By doing this and keeping the antagonist hidden, you further emphasize the horror element since you are left wondering what exactly could be doing all that harm. That's exactly the path that Creature Hunt tries to follow, as you investigate and try to take down an unknown creature responsible for your brother's death.

Creature Hunt has all the elements of a horror game: dim lights, chilling ambient effects and stunning visuals that leave little to the imagination, although there are moments where you would have preferred it did. Strictly from a graphics point of view, the game looks amazing, since everything from the models, textures, all the way to the lighting and camera works make the game feel extremely realistic.

One drawback however is that no matter how much you work around the video settings, the game still looks intensely dark, so it would be best to play the game at night, or in a really dark room. More so, the sounds are extremely subtle most of the times , so it would be best to play the game while wearing headphones. The problem is that if you follow the above-mentioned recommendations, you might end up jumping out of your seat at the end of the game.

Most of the game will be spent behind the wheels of your truck, although it too will run out of gas at some point so you'll have no choice but to walk on foot. Best thing you can pray for is that when you do find the creature, it will be at least in some place where you have a little bit of light, because while it may seem like you are hunting it, there are times when you may think it is the other way around.

Jump scares are exciting, or terrifying, depending on who you ask, and Creature Hunt has the mother of all jump-scares in store for you, so you might as well give it a try, if your heart can take it.
