Great friends.
Terrible working conditions.

This is monster hunting with a delivery problem. Your crew must find a target, bring it down and get its body back to the truck. Winning the fight does not finish the contract: you still have to carry your payday out of Blackwood Estate.

Your assignment

Easy on paper.
Chaos in practice.

01 /

Sign.

Choose your contract and buy equipment before entering the estate. Search for weapons on the grounds, decide who is looking for loot and keep enough attention on the job that actually pays.

02 /

Hunt.

Track werewolves and choose your shots carefully. Searching, fighting and keeping the team together all demand attention. The creature you came to collect can turn the hunt around.

03 /

Deliver.

Place the defeated monster in a coffin and bring it to the truck for payment. Transport becomes part of the challenge: your valuable cargo still has to cross a dangerous estate.

One more trip.
What could it cost?

Valuables inside the mansion can increase the payout, but carrying them out intact takes time and attention. Wendigos threaten the search, while cellar gnomes steal loot and give the crew another problem to solve. Decide together whether extra profit is worth another trip.

Play solo or join up with three friends online. Share the search, watch for threats and help haul the coffin. Proximity voice chat handles nearby coordination; radios keep the conversation going at a distance. A simple delivery can become the story your group keeps bringing up after the session.

CREW BRIEFING // PERSONALITY CHECK

“I’ll go first.”

Someone has to find the target. Track the werewolves and keep the crew informed. Confidence helps. So does remembering where everyone else is.

Gameplay / Know the job

There’s a plan.
Then there’s your crew.

Every contract links preparation, combat, transport and money. The challenge is keeping the whole operation working while your crew is inside a place that wants it to fail.

01 / BLACKWOOD ESTATE

Explore with a purpose.

Move through the estate and search the mansion for opportunities. Weapons support the hunt; valuables support the crew’s finances. Looking for one can distract you from the other, so agree on what the team is trying to achieve before everyone wanders off.

02 / MONSTERS & MAYHEM

Learn what is after you.

Werewolves are the quarry you hunt and deliver. Wendigos make the mansion dangerous to explore. Cellar gnomes complicate a profitable search by stealing loot. The estate asks you to fight, stay alert and recover what the crew has worked for.

03 / COFFIN DELIVERY

Get the body home.

The coffin is the link between a successful hunt and an actual reward. Friends can share the carrying while others keep watch or search. Hunting Contract makes the journey back part of the action, giving the group a reason to coordinate after the monster goes down.

04 / SHARED CREW FUNDS

Keep the crew in business.

Your earnings feed one crew account. Equipment purchases, the night’s costs and unpaid debt make money a team concern. Return with a modest haul or risk a bigger one: that discussion is part of the game, especially when one friend insists there is time for another trip.

Your hunter / Your crew

Dress to impress.
Try not to die.

Customize your character and bring your own look to the hunting crew. Your hunter is part of the group’s identity, whether you are carefully planning the contract or finding out how quickly that plan can fall apart.

The fun comes from doing the job together: arguing over another loot run, keeping someone on lookout, calling to friends on the radio and trying to get the coffin back in one piece. Hunting Contract combines a creepy setting with the unpredictable moments friends create under pressure.

Questions from the crew.

What is Hunting Contract?

Hunting Contract is a first-person horror game for PC, developed and published by Bugknot Studios. One to four players take contracts at Blackwood Estate, hunt monsters, deliver their bodies in coffins and collect loot to cover the crew’s costs.

Can I play Hunting Contract with friends?

Yes. Online co-op supports a crew of up to four players. You can divide the searching, fighting, carrying and lookout work, and communicate using proximity voice chat and radios.

Can I play solo?

Yes. You can take on the full contract alone. The same hunt-and-deliver objective applies, but the searching, combat and hauling are your responsibility.

Does Hunting Contract have character customization?

Yes. Character customization lets you bring your own look to the crew before heading into the hunt with friends.

What happens after you kill a monster?

The contract still needs a delivery. Place the defeated creature in a coffin and transport it back to the truck to get paid.

How do loot and debt work?

Contract payments and recovered valuables feed a shared crew account. The crew covers costs and restocks for the next job. Unpaid debt carries over, and repeated failure can end the campaign.

Where can I play the demo and wishlist the game?

Contract rewards and recovered valuables go into a shared crew account. Cover the night’s costs, restock and take the next job. Unpaid debt follows the campaign, and repeated failure can bring the run to an end. Your crew decides how much risk the next payday is worth.
