The Hunted is a small, single map, multiplayer survival horror game that features two teams (“Scientists” and “Hunters”) who are pitted against in each other in a non-combat environment. Scientists are tasked with avoiding detection and surviving for as long as possible while Hunters are charged with finding Scientists and turning them into fellow Hunters.
The Hunted was created as part of an academic study which attempted to replicate the gameplay and emotional aspects of an existing real-life game in a digital format. Using an iterative design approach via extensive player feedback and playtest analysis, the project was particularly focused on studying player reactions to the game and seeing whether the original game (which emphasized aspects like player immersion and minimal design elements) would actually translate well into a digital version.
