I liked that I couldn't collect all materials on the first go, it made the game not be too easy, gives re-playability. I think for those who weren't going to go back in to collect all items, having it slowed down helped with the immersion. Too many gamers are so focused and intent on "getting in, getting out, getting onto the next" that they don't explore, or appreciate the depths and details games can have. I didn't follow the path right in front of me trying to hurry up and get out. I zig zagged through the map bumping around tree's, seeing if I could get stuck in places (I couldn't find a spot, the game did good) and generally checking it out. The Hunt brings basically a questing feel to the gathering of the items through the need to find them. And don't forget the power of the unknowing when/where your adversary will come after you hangs over your shoulder. Quality of work/thought, atmosphere, driving forces, open/explore, quest/challenge, and voice over to boot! Really enjoyed, thank you!

I really enjoyed the story progression segments (VA, cutscenes, etc.). They were well done and well paced out. I wish the movement speed had been a little faster, especially during the item collection segment, although it does add to the overall horror aspect of the game. Maybe populating the scene with a few more quest items to compensate could help.
There is voice acting holy shit! Great game, I liked it a lot!
The game and its story are entertaining, I liked it.
Good job
Enjoyed this it was quite atmospheric, didn't manage to collect all the items in time on my first run. Enjoyed the voice acting and story!
Cool game, but there is more voice acting and story telling than gameplay.
I like the story telling and the voice acting! Definitely better than mine haha. I would consider adding a skip function to longer sections, the demon got me real quick the first time. And i couldn´t read the subtitles on a widescreen, they were cut off. Overall nice game, really liked the grass movement :)
