Sons Of The Hunt
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This game is part-horror/thriller, intended for mature audiences. Ages 15+ recommended. Includes vulgar language, mentions of abuse, and explicit violence and gore.
[Despite the content, this game is intended to be absurd and comedic- don't take it too seriously!]
Play as an eager (and debatably disturbed) teenage boy, as you drag your 3 best friends along on a quest to find Bigfoot in the deep dark forest next to your town.
Strengthen your bond with your friends on this trip, and get close with one friend in particular. Whomever that is is totally your choice, they each have unique quirks and personalities that will shine as you spend this secluded time together.
And above all, finding Bigfoot is your biggest concern. The others may not understand your passion, but you will see fit that you will see this journey to the end! What could possibly go wrong with an adventure as juvenile as this?

one of the few visual novels i constantly replay. i have no idea how to describe how much i love the characters, story, and the whole vibe of this game! i hope to see more of these guys in the future! :]
Thank you sooo much!! I too would like to revisit these guys on a deeper level- maybe a little older and on a new adventure. One day, perhaps. Thank you for your support!! ♥️
I come back to this one every so often so I just wanted to say, thank you for sharing :) I'm no good with words but this game was so atmospheric and I really loved it a lot (Lori's my favorite btw, class clowns/the cheery jokesters with depth is one of my favorite character archetypes haha)
I'm so happy this silly little game stuck with you, even if just a bit. Thank you for your kind comment ♥️ (Lori would totally brag to everyone about being someone's favourite lmao)
joel and uriah >>
ignore the way i drew uriahs hair i forogt how it looked like 💀Oh this is so cuuutteee!! Thank you so much 💖 (and don't worry about Uriah's hair, I made it complex for no reason 😂)
i like this alot, especially the artstyle and the fact that theres alot more character expressions, really prevents it from getting boring and repetitive and i have to say im a little inspired by all this
I'm so glad to hear that!! Thank you 💕
OMFG god i cant. i`m getting too many emotions!!!!1!!!11 This game one of mine ABSOLUTE FAVORITES now, gdppgfhp. Finding games is hard for me, cause i get bored very fast and lose focus... but this... this is perfect for me! Also, i love all of characters!!1! (but mostly Roman, tbh)
i can`t find the right words, but thank you for this!!!1!
(also sorry for bad grammar, english isn`t my first language)
That makes me so happy to hear, omg!! I'm the same way, even if I do enjoy a game it can be hard for me to stay dedicated, I'm very proud that SOTH could keep your interest/attention. Tysm! ❤❤
OMGGGGG!!! This is so cute and funny I love it!! Saving this, thank you so much!!!💖💖💖
That was super fun! And the special route was just the icing on this ice cream cake (
sorry).I especially love how expressive all the sprites are! Good stuff 👌
Haha, thanks mate!! I'm so glad you liked it :D
I cannot get over this comment. Thank you for playing my game.
this was sooo fun i likde it i got teh bad ending tho x_O
Glad you had fun anyways!😂
How do I get the "Think fast" ending? I've been trying to but can't get it(great game btw probably one of my faves)
Thank you so much!!
*****SPOLIERS*****
You get it by not picking an option during the quick-time event before the time runs out. Enjoy ;)
thanks sm but shouldn't I get the completionist ending too since I have all of them? sorry I'm dumb q-q
You should indeed...🤔 Check you haven't missed an ending? Or perhaps redo an ending and the game might realise that you have them all??
I redid all the endings but I still never get the completionist one:/
I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope it didn't sour your experience of my game too much.
Did you also re-do any of the Special Route ending? If that doesn't work, redownload the game- I just updated it, and should have fixed that error (though that may just be pointless since you'd have to play through every ending again...)
Apologies again, coding is still quite new to me.
Yo i just realized this game came out like 100 days ago! That long already? I still think about this game like twice a week vndsoifiafehiusaeo
It honestly feels like I just uploaded it recently! I gotta make something to commemorate it. 😭 But I'm so, so happy you still think about my little game, you’re incredible ❤
This was so fun and charming, it's hard to find teen characters written as good as they are in here, love these 4 little dudes
I'm really happy to hear that!! I think writing teens is really fun, because teenagers are usually fun XD
this was AWESOME! plz make more stuff in the future (i love Roman)
Thank you! I certainly will!
Me: "Oooh, who's the one with the glasses?"
Game: Thats you
Me: "DAMMIT"
Jokes aside I LOVE this! The art is adorable, and there where many times where I just had to take a break to stop laughing
Edit; this group mirrors my 7th and 8th grade friend group so well, its almost kinda freaky. the two who are way closer than everyone else, and kinda insane, the group "mom," and the friendly asshole who wants to watch shit go down between the other three. Plus, Vermont is pretty close to where we went to school together lmao.
That's so awesome! Never thought of myself as much of a comedian so I'm so glad the jokes actually landed.
And you know what they say, art imitates life ;) thanks for the comment!
You get an automatic 5 star rating for mentioning Skyrim
LMAO cheers XD
LOL glad to see people talk about it after all this time Great game btw was amazing rlly enjoyed it
So I finished the game mostly I just need one more ending but overall it's a nice game I can't wait to see more games if you ever make more
Thank you so much! I definitely plan to make more in the future so stay on the lookout!
Hey, I played it and got Joel's Good Ending! I really like Joel. I can't resist a pretty emo boy who plays guitar. Oh and I really loved the humour and the emo band references. I would say the band references reminded me of my teenage years, but who am I kidding. I still listen to them lol. xD
Great job on your first game! The art style is what really captured my attention and I'm excited to see what you make next. :)
It's impossible for me to make anything without some sort of emo character/reference/aesthetic, I'm glad someone else gets a kick out of them lmao
Thanks for the kind comment, I can't wait to make more, even better games in the future!❤
Hi,
Played this last night but was way too sleepy to comment then. I really liked the sense of humor in this one black being my favorite kind. Art was very expressive which is always a big +. Also I don´t know why but I always enjoy when bad ends are as bad as in this game. (Trying not to spoil them here.)
My favorite was probably Roman. His sulking face was way too adorable.
Nothing too serious but for me it was a little distracting that if your custom MC name included letter like q j p your name was sometimes behind dialogue. Happened also in special route with big guys name.
I'm so glad you enjoyed, haha!
So sorry about the font issue, thank you for sticking though it and thank you for your comment! ❤
Ceri here!
Downloaded and played this through tonight and I had a blast with your game! I love the blocky cartoony art style for the main cast, how the player gets further and surprisingly deep insight coupled with shockingly sound life advice on each of the MC's love interests on each individual route during the first night and how they play off each others' personalities in the main game. The special route was pretty interesting to witness unfold and I even got the good end on the first go! The story and backgrounds may be simple yet there's a clear charm to it all through the character writing and expressive sprites! CG design is fresh and I applaud how you were spot-on with the depth perception for the ones with the LIs using their weapons during the living room battle in the cabin near the conclusion. Also enjoyed how the endings chose to stay realistic for such a situation like this but still remain hopeful for the main cast. My favorite route is actually Joel's which I played through first and enjoyed immensely (Let's be real here, I'm a sucker for good pairings that seemingly aren't as close at the start and appear to have little in common at first glance along with his battle CG being the most kickass of the 3). Thank you for making this experience and sharing it with the world!! Wishing you the best of luck on all your future projects down the line!
(P.S. Found a slight typo during the confrontation in the cabin's kitchen during the main game. The word 'hatchet' is misspelt as 'hatched')
I'm so happy to hear you've explored every route, and even that you have a favourite. It means so much to me that you even have this much to say about my game.❤❤❤
Thank you for your comment, and double thank you for spotting that typo (all the double-checking in the world, and I'll still never be free of typos)
