Evaluation

BULT: Hunting Simulator entered Steam Early Access on January 5, 2026 and is actively being developed by a small independent studio, Nordrise. Since launch, the developers have maintained a steady stream of updates: a feature patch on February 28, 2026 added new rare bird species, a new shotgun malfunction mechanic, and expanded language support; a hotfix followed on March 2, 2026; and on April 1, 2026, a major limited-time "Duck Attack" event launched with new enemies, a boss fight, and exclusive cosmetics. A bug fix patch was released on April 23, 2026. Prior to launch, the developers referenced a Q&A video on February 3, 2026 discussing their plans for 2026 and invited player feedback to guide development. The game is clearly in an ongoing Early Access phase with the developer actively engaged — it is not yet a finished product, and further development is expected before any 1.0 release.

About this game

Welcome to BULT — a realistic hunting simulator where your skills determine the outcome.

The game may feel challenging at first, but that’s because BULT is about learning what it takes to become a true hunter

To succeed, you’ll have access to:

  • Weapons — choose shotguns and ammunition that fit your hunting style and strategy;

  • Mobility & Concealment — use boats, camouflage blinds, and the right clothing to stay hidden;

  • The Art of Decoying — influence flock behavior by placing decoys and using different calls.

GAME FEATURES

  • Ducks Are More Than Flying Targets

Bayanay AI does not follow scripted flight paths. Every bird is driven by realistic instincts: they flock together, search for food, react to weather and time of day, and most importantly — they notice your mistakes...

Wounded birds may hide in reeds or escape across the water.

  • Realistic Ballistics

Every shot is calculated using real-world physics: pellet mass, muzzle velocity, air resistance, and shot spread all affect the result. Shotgun mechanics are based on authentic ballistic data.

  • Hunting in Yakutia

Explore an open world inspired by the wild landscapes of Yakutia: misty wetlands, lakeshores, and hunting grounds built with a strong focus on realism and immersion.

Dynamic weather and lighting systems ensure that no two hunts feel the same.

  • A Living Soundscape

Real bird recordings combined with dynamic audio processing allow you to identify the direction and distance of sounds entirely by ear.

Immerse yourself in a living ecosystem where every sound matters.

  • Responsible Hunting

Respect rare and protected species listed in the Red Data Book. BULT is designed not only to teach precision and hunting skills, but also to encourage a responsible attitude toward nature and wildlife.

Whether you're an experienced hunter, a nature enthusiast, or someone who believes patience and knowledge should be rewarded — this game was made for you!
