It's official: Hunter From Hell launches on December 16

Investigators,

After weeks of hunting alongside you, we have big news: Hunter From Hell will officially launch on Steam on December 16, 2026.

Until then, the game is in open playtest. Every game you play, every bug you report and every piece of feedback you share directly shapes the final release. Thank you to everyone already haunting our houses!

What is Hunter From Hell?

A paranormal investigation game in co-op for up to 4 players. Step into haunted places, gather evidence, identify the entity lurking inside… and survive when it decides to hunt.

30 different entities, each with its own evidence, quirks and hunting behavior.
Places to explore: the Asylum, Ashford House and its witch cellar, Saint-Aubin Hospital, Villa Mercier, Saint-Roch Chapel and the Moreau Farm.
A real investigator's toolkit: EMF, thermometer, spirit box, cameras, salt, sage, crucifix, blessed chalk… and the GHOST OS tablet to keep track of it all.
Story contracts with documents to uncover, team roles, insurance and Steam leaderboards.
Versus mode (BETA): one player becomes the entity, the others hunt it down. And watch out for the possessed hunter hiding among you…
Custom games: tune every setting, down to 0 evidence and a single life, for rewards up to ×6.
Seasonal events: the Halloween manor is open right now, and the Christmas chalet is coming soon.
