Hunter's Moon is a first-person folk-horror game set during England's historical witch hunts, arriving on PlayStation 5 on October 26, 2026. You play as Lilith Thorne, a woman accused of witchcraft who must evade capture by villagers over the course of a single fateful night. The game draws inspiration from real events during the peak of early modern British persecution.
The title's launch window puts it squarely in the Halloween season. While witch-themed games have proliferated recently, Hunter's Moon positions itself as a grounded historical narrative rather than fantasy, grounding its horror in the actual fears and violence of the period. Twin Swans has emphasized the immersive first-person perspective as central to the experience.
