FOLKLORE HUNTER Tracks Down Urban Legends

Folklore Hunter
Folklore Hunter, the co-op urban legend hunting survival game developed by Liquid Donkey Games, takes aim at the Mothman when it graduates from Steam Early Access on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, as revealed at DreadXP’s Indie Horror Showcase today with a brand new trailer. 

Liquid Donkey Games has also revealed a new update available today, with full Steam Workshop support now implemented for the community to create and share their own custom content and mods. Versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch platforms are also in development, set to launch later in 2026.

When a father goes missing under mysterious circumstances looking for his kids, a village finds itself cursed by creatures of the night, or strange things are afoot at abandoned military biolabs, they call you. Dropped in uncharted lands with limited supplies and supernatural threats, your team has the skills to find an explanation for the unexplainable.

Track and hunt three mythic creatures in a fully-designed main campaign through a series of Story Hunts supporting single and multiplayer modes. Set up traps and cameras to capture the location of the horned Wendigo. Solve cryptic riddles and uncover hidden storylines that brought the vampiric Strigoi to a now vacant village. Find a way to communicate with the Mothman via electromagnetic radiation, but don’t linger. Whatever’s out there is tracking you, too.

Wander through wooded forests, dank caves, mysterious shrines, sealed catacombs, haunted churches, cult lairs, abandoned military outposts, and other handcrafted environments on a hunt for the world’s most fabled creatures of the night. Discover clues from bloody notes, obscurely placed skeletons, and other oddities to combine wit and intuition and outsmart otherworldly dangers.

Learn what brought each creature into this world and find a way to contain it before it takes any more lives. Take these lessons and apply them to shorter Contract Hunts to tackle randomized locations and puzzles, and earn rewards for living to unlock new gear, traps, and other helpful equipment to personalize your own hunting techniques.

“There are so many approaches to hunting these supernatural beings,” said Jayde Cohen, Founder and sole developer at Liquid Donkey Games. “Shotguns, crossbows, exploding gas cans, crucifixes — even runes with inscription tools to help survive. Pick your poison. How you use them, though? That’s a story for you to tell.”

Folklore Hunter chases after dark rustlings from the woods in Q1 2026 on PC via Steam.
