RED DEER - Experimental Game Hunting Game

[wide lion]

RED DEER is a survival horror game set in the most horrific of places, a Finnish forest. Inspired by Receiver 2, games by KIRA, Silent Hill. The plan is to combine weirdly in-depth gun handling mechanics with light roguelike survival horror to create something unique.

Devlogs are posted to my YT. I wanted to speedrun a demo-build of the game by end of summer but the scope of the demo is questionable at the moment.
