London, UK – October 26, 2026 – What if the most terrifying thing in our world is not monsters or magic, but other people? Survive the course of one fateful night as an accused “witch” on the run for her life in Hunter’s Moon, a first-person historical narrative folk horror, available today exclusively on PlayStation 5.
Inspired by the true history of 17th-century English witch hunts, embody Lillith Thorne, an accused woman who must flee through a rural village and its surrounding forests and moors in search of safety.
Use stealth and cunning to evade capture by the Witchfinder General, while eavesdropping on villagers to gain knowledge and aid to help survive the night. Discover the secrets of a dysfunctional village on the brink in an immersive-theatre-inspired folk horror grounded in historical realism, elevated by hand-crafted stylised art, and told through the voices of over 100 fully voice-acted characters.
Can you survive the full night of the Hunter’s Moon?
“We wanted to present this history in a way that felt authentic and reflected what might have happened in villages during these witch trials,” writer-director Alicia Contestabile said. “The hunters are just men. And the truth is that those who accused others, put them on trial, and sent them to their deaths were also just people. They just deeply, deeply believed that witchcraft was real.”
From writer-director Alicia Contestabile, producer of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and developed by new independent studio Twin Swans, featuring artists and developers whose credits include The Stanley Parable, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Signalis, and with an original score composed by Resina, Hunter’s Moon asks you to consider: what if our own fears and beliefs are the true sources of horror?
Hunter’s Moon is available today exclusively on PlayStation 5. For more information, visit PlayStation Store.
