Evaluation

Huntsman launched on November 27, 2025 as a survival horror game set in a spider-infested research facility. The developer has supported the game consistently since launch with a series of patches, most notably Patch 1.1 (April 24, 2026) and Patch 1.2 (June 18, 2026), which delivered visual modes, a full spider movement overhaul, new in-game events, and expanded mechanics. On October 7, 2026 — the most recent news post — the developer announced a significant slate of upcoming content. A free Hardcore Mode and the first paid DLC, "Protect & Serve," are both launching on October 26, 2026. Protect & Serve puts players in the role of a police officer arriving at Atherton Labs after the main game's events, and introduces combat mechanics the developer describes as a test for "future reasons" — suggesting further DLC is being considered. The post also teases two additional content packs, "More Spiders Pack" and "Nature Pack," described as coming "soon" after the October 26 launch. The developer explicitly stated "there are many many MANY more stories to tell in the world we're creating," signaling continued investment in the game's future.

About this game

Forget. Everything. And. Run. FEAR the Huntsman

Experience one of humanity's most primal fears in Huntsman, a survival horror that will immerse you in the creeping dread and crawling terror of arachnophobia.

As the new security guard at Atherton Laboratories, chaos erupts as eight-legged predators infest the hallways. Outnumbered and defenseless, you must find a way to eliminate the threats and lift the facility lockdown to escape. Will you survive, or become the spider's next prey?

Descend into the Web - Explore a facility overrun by invasive predators. Divert limited power between sections of the building to access new areas, gather vital resources, and outmaneuver the swarm.

Improvise or Die - Use your flashlight, throwables, and the environment itself to distract, mislead, and evade the deadliest creatures you've ever faced. Just remember: one wrong move, and you're prey.

Fear Has Eight Legs - Experience arachnophobia like never before! Each spider moves, hunts, and reacts with terrifying realism triggering primal instincts your mind won’t be able to ignore.
