Features

Hunt and track monsters - Hunt monsters from folklore from all around the world. Follow their tracks and blood trails. Pay attention to the wind direction so they can't smell you approaching.
A custom primitive metal soundtrack - The Axis Unseen features 90+ minutes of original music by Clifford Meyer, previously of the legendary post-metal bands ISIS and Red Sparowes. It is a unique blend of heavy metal and primitive instruments.
Unique Arrow Types - Your bow and arrow keeps you alive. Upgrade your bow or even find different arrow types such as fire, wind controlling or time distorting arrows. Experiment to see all of the different ways the arrows can interact with each other, such as wind arrows making the fire spread faster.
Improve your senses - Upgrade your senses with the powers of the creatures. See scent particles. Feel the warmth left behind on their tracks. See colors that no human has ever seen.
Uncover the secrets of the hunters - Find out what happened to the hunters who came before you and what secrets they uncovered by inspecting their journals and drawings. Where did this world come from? How do you stop the creatures from escaping into your world?
Built using Unreal Engine 5 - The Axis Unseen leverages the power of Unreal Engine 5 to push visuals further than ever before. Single models in Unreal Engine 5 have as much detail as entire scenes in previous generations.
