Hunted: Kalevala
Drops players into a gripping first-person survival experience rooted in Finnish mythology. You play as a hunter-gatherer returning from the woods to find your family brutally slain by a mysterious force. Your mission: track down the monstrous culprit through immersive exploration, stealth, and intense boss battles. The game blends atmospheric tension with realistic environments, drawing inspiration from ancient Finnish legends. Developed by third-year students at JAMK in Jyväskylä, Finland, *Hunted: Kalevala* showcases raw talent despite limited resources and no prior Unreal Engine experience. The team tackled numerous challenges over four months, crafting every detail from 3D models and animations to sound design and music. Notable contributors include Juho Harju (project lead), Evgenii Vetoshkin (programming), Ilia Rozhnov (3D modeling), and Olga Kolari (audio composition). Special thanks go to mentors Peter Ciszek and Masa Gorse for their guidance. This.
