The Hunter Files: Case One

The Hunter Files: Case One is a story-driven point-and-click adventure about Nate Hunter, a private detective caught in a routine of minor jobs and overdue bills. A seemingly ordinary assignment in discreet surveillance turns into an investigation into a missing person.

The investigation

You question characters, follow conversations and look for clues as you investigate. Environmental puzzles reward observation and logical thinking, while inventory puzzles involve combining items. The game has no time pressure or combat, and its puzzles can be occasionally absurd, with humor woven into the experience.

As the case progresses, you visit new locations and have longer conversations. The investigation moves beyond Nate’s everyday routine into a new setting that changes its direction. The mystery is paced carefully and focuses on atmosphere and characters; the case stands on its own while laying the groundwork for a larger story.

Visual style

The game has a stylized visual presentation inspired by classic detective fiction.
