Headlong Hunt is a puzzle game about guiding a skittish animal. Capture it by using simple interactions in surprisingly deep and satisfying ways - be two steps ahead as you choose to hide from sight or send the creature bolting. Think forwards and backwards to set up the perfect path to victory.




Features:

  • Over 100 expertly-crafted puzzles
  • Elegant mechanics which elaborate on the central theme and interact in surprising ways
  • A seamless overworld map, with two main paths and optional islands
  • Unique painterly art style and atmospheric original soundtrack
  • Smooth controls including undo and undo through reset
  • Full controller support and control rebinding

macOS note:

For the macOS version of the game, for now it may not work straight away. The reason is that when I zip on PC the mac permissions aren't set. You might be able to get it to work by doing chmod +x on the file Contents/MacOS/Headlong Hunt within the application package to make it an executable. (Maybe see if the demo runs first).  Also might work easily in the itch app. 

Steam note:

Both the itch and steam versions of the game save to the same folder. So if you plan to play the itch version then on Steam, you should make a backup of the save files, otherwise steam cloud may overwrite your saves from the itch version.

This is such a wonderful game, thank you! It does such a good job of being satisfying and smart without being brutally difficult, and the subtle ways the mechanics work is just excellent.

Thanks so much! Glad you had a good time with it :)
