If you like creeping through a story on your own after the rest of the group has gone home, Hunted: Wode Ridge is worth a look this weekend. Gabe Barrett's solo game is back in a second edition on Gamefound, it has already funded, and the campaign is into its final days.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksPicture Stranger Things shrunk into a solo game. You play a group of kids and the alien friend they have picked up, poking into the strange things happening around their town. The series name sets the tone, too: Hunted games trade on the feeling of being watched as much as doing the watching, so expect tension rather than a cosy evening.
Barrett is a familiar name to anyone who follows game design. He hosts the long-running Board Game Design Lab, where designers talk through how games actually get made, so his own releases tend to get a close read from the hobby. This is a refreshed second edition of Wode Ridge, though the Gamefound page is the place to check exactly what has changed from the original.
