SaddleBow

A VR hunting game played from the back of a moving horse. Neither the horse nor the animal stops, so you aim where the animal is going, not where it is.

THREE HUNTING GROUNDS, DAY AND NIGHT

Solgol — deer, moose, rabbits, foxes, raccoons. Everything runs; the difficulty is the shot itself.

Metjae — boar, bull moose, stags. Hit them and they turn on you.

Beomgol — wolves, cougars, bears. Here the hunted and the hunter change places.

Grounds unlock in order, each with day and night versions.

SEVEN MINUTES A ROUND

Animals are scored by what it costs to bring them down; one arrow in the vitals beats several anywhere else. Take enough damage and the round ends. Each ground keeps its own leaderboard.

BOWS AND HORSES

Points become coins; coins buy gear. The bows differ in shape, not only colour — the deep D-section of an English longbow, the angled ears of a Korean horn bow, the string bridge of a Manchu war bow. Some bows and horses are sold separately.

BESTIARY

Everything you take is recorded. Species you have never taken stay as silhouettes; you can walk up to the ones you have.

CONTROLS

Hold the bow in one hand, draw with the other hand’s trigger. The right stick sets the horse’s speed and direction. Playable seated or standing, with an optional comfort vignette.

EARLY ACCESS

Single player for now, with all three grounds included. A mode for hunting together is in development, planned as a free update. Korean and English. An internet connection is required for leaderboards.
