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

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

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

Grounds unlock in order.

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, and coins buy nearly everything: every horse and every bow color. Four bows change the shape of the weapon itself and are sold separately — the deep D-section of an English longbow, the angled ears of a Korean horn bow, the string bridge of a Manchu war bow.

BESTIARY

Every kill is recorded. Species you have never taken stay as silhouettes; the rest you can walk up to.

CONTROLS

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

EARLY ACCESS

Single player for now, all three grounds included. Co-op hunting is in development, planned as a free update. Korean and English. Leaderboards require an internet connection.
