We've reduced the price of v1.3 from $14.99 to $9.99 so you can enter the dark world of the Huntsman and still have change for a hamburger! Meanwhile, we're working hard on a new version with a new gameplay structure and new scares - and yes, once again, the new release will be a free upgrade for all existing owners of the game!

First of all I couldn't see anything. Then I realised there was a flashlight (Which the game doesn't tell you). You can also crouch (Which the game also doesn't tell you). The graphics are pretty good for a 2013 game, but I wouldn't say that adds up for the sheer volume of monotonous gameplay. The story itself is pretty good, but the gameplay designed to accompany it is not. I didn't even get to the maze because I...

Terrible waste of time. No options whatsoever, including mouse sensitivity. Walk speed is painful, which is unfortunate, because all you do it walk. Skip this one.

I hate to write this review, I really do. The world needs more serious horror titles like this that are story and atmosphere-based as opposed to action games with horror themes. The problem here is twofold. 1. They forgot to actually create a game around the story. Finding items precious to the orphans? Fine. Putting them on their graves to free them? Awesome. Putting those graves at random in a massive maze...

I traded for this game because I was curious, and wanted to whet my appetite for horror games. Despite numerous negative reviews, I decided to take a chance. If you like walking simulators, mediocre voice acting, lengthy backstories, and gameplay similar to Slender Man (find items while evading a stalking enemy), then you might enjoy this game. Regardless, I advise you stay away from this one and save both your time...

I really don't want to write a negative review on this game, but after trying to get into it three times, and failing to do so every time, I just want to say something about it. I know my playtime is limited, and probably I should have spent more time in-game, but the truth is there are so much good games waiting to be played out there, that I couldn't force myself to spend more time with this one than I...

You'll need a pencil and paper to take notes, and use graph paper to get through this one! Seriously! You need to map out a huge hedge maze that you have to find your way through 12 times to find 12 different graves, so be prepared! You have to carry items to graves in the maze and can only carry "one" item at a time! Then you have to go back to the house and get another item, go through the maze again, find a...

Huntsman: The Orphanage is one of those very rare games that has an interesting idea for a game, and it works pretty well. It is one of those games that whilst you can watch people play it, the only way to really get the full experience of the game is to play it yourself. I also like how they take the sound of a ticking clock and make it something that you will learn to fear. I have lost count the amount of times I...

I'm all for cheap horror games and lazy scares, but I couldn't even get ironic enjoyment out of this one. Mostly because it doesn't even function. I'm very open to horror games that need a little patience, need a little suspension of disbelief. They almost had something interesting here. While obviously trying to capitalize on the success of Slenderman, the setting's creepy and the core gameplay idea - bring these...

The main problem with this game is that its just plain boring. Very little happens and when it does you feel cheated. The main selling points were the story and the use of your phone but neither of these seem compelling or used in a great way. What seem like random voices and videos on your phone feel so out of place and uninteresting. You can see what the developers where trying to do but the idea was executed...

I'll just say this out front: This isn't a perfect game. I do feel that there are some things that were done right and some things that could use some improvement, but I'm also confident that any perceived negatives will be addresed by Shadowshifters. The game does a good job of setting up a creepy environment with a creepy backstory. If exploring an old, abandoned orphanage marred by an unexplained, supernatural...
