You’re the hunter.
Your prey is the cunning nine-tailed fox, a creature known for stealing hearts, literally.
For month’s you have tracked it, finally catching up in a crumbling port town. As death and deceit surround you, you realize your very morality is called into question.
The closer you get, the less clear it is who’s chasing who and whether this is still a hunt or something far more dangerous.

This was an interesting introduction to the interactive story genre. The choices made sense and after the ending, I understood how they impacted the story.
In short: A great example of how an interactive story with much replayability should be made.
Heart for a Hunter did not only provide a thrilling story but also a very interesting protagonist I am still engaged to find out more about.
For my first playthrough, I thought I had a good strategy to plan ahead and thought I would already know everything that would happen. But the story came up with many new opportunities and decisions; each one felt like it could decide over success and defeat in the end, so I always had to think everything through. Every decision was tough, but in a good way, while the story progressed and provided new and thrilling scenarios and information.
In the end I reached a bad ending for the protagonist, but since the story is so promising and there were so many different paths I could have gone, I am more than eager to play it at least one more time in the near future.
I really enjoyed this one. The writing was great and the characters interesting, with some depth and backstories. The choices were meaningful and I regretted a few I made. I wish I could rewind and see where the story would take me if I took a few different turns. Still, the branch I ended up on was satisfying and meaningful.
My only slight criticism is about the voice acting — I could hear the breathing and other sounds that I wasn’t supposed to, so the recording could have been a bit better. And I personally think the voice/tone that the actor chose for Nika didn’t fit her character. For me, she should have sounded strong and confident, perhaps sly. However, these weren’t enough to spoil my enjoyment, and otherwise the voice acting was good, so I’ll give it 5 stars.
A wonderful story, that allows you to immerse yourself in it, feel with the characters and make choices that lead to unexpected outcomes. From the start, it reels you in and doesn’t let go, allowing you to explore a wonderfully crafted world, with distinct characters and choices that truely affect the story and its ending – making you question your own morality along the way.
I really enjoyed this game! The story is fast-paced and kept me hooked till the end. I especially loved how the side characters are described. Each of them feels unique, with their own personality and quirks. I like how they make the world feel even more alive.
The plot has enough twists and surprises to keep me engaged the whole time, and I found myself really interested in what happens next.
