So, now you know what this secret project has been.

For the past two years, I’ve been working on Hunter the Reckoning – A Time of Monsters, an interactive fiction set in Downtown Vancouver within the World of Darkness. It’s been a unique experience, working not just in something like the present day, in someone else’s setting, but also in a location which is literally close to home (as in, the other day, I took the train in to take some pictures of the locations you’ll be visiting), and the result has been something which is really unlike anything I’ve ever done before.

In A Time of Monsters, you play as a young member of Vancouver’s depressingly large homeless population, thrown into the midst of mortal peril as your encampment is raided by the police. Within hours, you find yourself hunted – not by law enforcement, but by something stranger, deadlier, and hungrier.

Without money, allies, or most of your possessions, you must make your way through the heart of a city which rarely has sympathy for the likes of you. Where will you rest your head? How will you fill your stomach? And most importantly, how will you escape the monsters at your heels? Who will you trust? What weapons will you scrounge? What path will you take?

How will you fight back?

Hunter the Reckoning – A Time of Monsters comes out on Android, iOS, and Steam (which also has a demo available right now) on November 13th. Expect more news soon.
