Hi everyone! 
I’d like to share my solo indie project currently in development with Unreal Engine 5:
The Hunt for the Village
About the Game
The Hunt for the Village is a third-person survival horror game focused on atmospheric tension, exploration, and psychological horror.
You play as a character who arrives at a cursed, abandoned village after receiving a mysterious letter.
Inspired by classics like Resident Evil 4, The Evil Within, and European gothic horror.
Core Features
Over-the-shoulder camera (RE4-style)- Flashlight + Health system
Collect notes/manuscripts to unlock character upgrades
Ritualistic enemies (The Hunters’ Clan)
Heavy fog, darkness, and ambient horror elements
Current Progress
Level 1 blocking complete (Journey to the Village)- Functional player controller + camera
- Terrain and environment materials in UE5
- First storyboard cutscene
- Concept art for key characters and enemies
- Flashlight & basic interaction system implemented
Next Steps
- NPC upgrade system via mysterious character (“The Old Hunter”)
- First scripted encounter with Jack the Hunter
- Polishing demo for public release (Chapter 1)
Screenshots
I’m developing this game solo and any feedback, advice, or interest in collaboration is very appreciated.
Also open to testers once the first demo is ready.
Follow development on Twitter, Itch.io, or Discord.
Thanks for reading – and good luck on your own UE5 projects!
