Explore the Appalachian Mountains on a Blue Ridge Hunt
Hunting on the Blue Ridgea co-op horror adventure set in Appalachia, presented at the Women-Led Games Showcase, offering a fresh take on the world of cryptid tracking. Published by Six One Publishing and designed by Jade Meadows, it showcases a mixture of regional folklore and atmospheric tension. The Appalachian Research Group continues its mission to uncover the truth behind the stories that shape the region. Additionally, players can support the team by wishlisting the game on Steam and following its progress on Kickstarter.
The experience takes players deep into the Appalachian wilderness, a landscape shaped by some of America's most enduring legends. Each mission is based on real events and stories, offering a grounded approach to cryptid investigations. Players collect clues, follow trails, and record the results using a set of tools. Successful investigations reward players with funds, which players can use to expand the capabilities of their equipment. Voice chat and radio use affect creature behavior. This makes teamwork necessary and carries its own risks as the environment reacts to their presence.
At launch, the game will include a story mode focusing on Levi Chambers, a West Virginia native who had to deal with disturbing encounters involving the Mothman. His journey through the mountains introduces new characters, terrifying creatures and hidden forces that shape the region's folklore.
Blue Ridge Hunting reflects themes of loss, family, and the burden of shared history. Meadows designed the project as a tribute to Appalachian culture, representing both the challenges and strength that define communities connected to the mountains. The result is a horror adventure built on authenticity, memory and a deep respect for the stories passed down through generations.
