Story

Hunt the Night is an action RPG with a classic look and feel, combining quick, challenging combat with a dark fantasy story. You play as Vesper, one of the Stalkers, and journey across the broken world of Medhram to try and break a deadly, repeating cycle of destruction. Prepare to explore terrifying landscapes, fight your way through dangerous dungeons, battle powerful bosses, and use a variety of abilities as you fight against the encroaching Night.

Humanity is in its ninth age, where people control the day, but terrifying creatures dominate the night. No matter how hard they fight, humanity is always destroyed when night falls.

A group known as “The Stalkers” learned to harness dark powers to combat the Night, but their efforts weren’t enough. Each new day brought the grim realization that darkness ultimately means the end of humanity.

People discovered the ‘Seal of Night,’ a powerful artifact that ended the endless cycle of day and night, creating a world of perpetual daylight. To achieve this, they made a solemn pact with The Stalkers, who willingly offered a blood oath. For hundreds of years, the sun shone continuously, bringing a new era of hope. However, destiny couldn’t be avoided, and eventually, a terrible price was paid.

As night falls and darkness spreads, Vesper—a skilled hunter and the daughter of a disgraced figure—ventures across a blighted land. She’s on a desperate mission to preserve the last remnants of humankind, racing against time as both the world around her and her own inner demons grow stronger.
