Explore the Appalachian Mountains in Blue Ridge Hunting
Blue Ridge Hunting, the cooperative horror adventure set in the Appalachian Mountains, featured in the Women-Led Games Showcase with a fresh look at its world of cryptid tracking. Published by Six One Publishing and developed by Jade Meadows, it showcases a blend of regional folklore and atmospheric tension. The Appalachian Investigation Group continues its mission to uncover the truth behind the stories that shape the region. Furthermore, players can support the team by wishlisting the game on Steam and following its progress on Kickstarter.
The experience places players deep within the Appalachian wilderness, a landscape shaped by some of America’s most enduring legends. Each mission draws from real accounts and stories, offering a grounded approach to cryptid investigation. Players gather evidence, follow trails, and record findings using an assortment of tools. Successful investigations reward funds that players can use to expand their equipment options. Proximity voice chat and radio use influence how creatures behave. This makes teamwork essential and carries its own risks since the environment responds to their presence.
At launch, the game will include a story mode focused on Levi Chambers, a West Virginia native who has lived with unsettling encounters involving the Mothman. His path through the mountains introduces new characters, frightening creatures, and the hidden forces that shape the region’s folklore.
Blue Ridge Hunting reflects themes of loss, family, and the weight of shared history. Meadows designed the project as a tribute to Appalachian culture, presenting both the hardships and the strength that define the communities connected to the mountains. The result is a horror adventure built around authenticity, memory, and a deep respect for the stories passed from one generation to the next.
