In Hunted: Wode Ridge, you and your friends (or just you!) step into the shoes of a group of curious kids – plus a newfound alien pal – diving headfirst into a sinister adventure in the seemingly quiet town of Wode Ridge. Legend has it this Colorado tourist trap has been cursed since old Amos Wode founded it back in the 1800s. It looks peaceful on postcards, but there's an undeniable darkness lurking beneath the surface. Whispers tell of an "other side" where bizarre things run rampant unchecked.
By the 1980s, things had gotten particularly weird. While the grown-ups were busy with their Tupperware parties, this band of youngsters decided to investigate the town's supernatural goings-on. They hit the streets on their bikes, hunting for clues and trouble before it found them. Rumor has it they even stumbled upon some kind of creature in the woods, which might explain the FBI's sudden interest.
Your mission is to explore Wode Ridge, gather evidence of the town's paranormal activities, and uncover which monster is currently plaguing it. But beware! The "Darkness" knows you're onto it and will try to get you before you get it. You must solve the mystery and defeat the threat before time runs out and the darkness overwhelms you. It's a race against time, with dice rolls and a dash of push-your-luck mechanics to spice up the investigation. Get ready for a tense adventure filled with discovery!
