After witnessing the brutal slaughter of your entire village of Hunters by these relentless creatures, you must take up arms—and your wits—to stop them from flooding our world. The game offers deep combat and hunting mechanics where tracking relies on following blood trails and subtle signs like the wind’s direction, making every encounter both strategic and tense.

Whether you prefer the stealthy precision of a silent hunter or the heart-pounding rush of intense action, The Axis Unseen caters to your style. For those seeking a milder journey, the difficulty can be adjusted at any time, and even a pacifist mode is available in which you can document your encounters through photography. For a true test of skill, try the challenging permadeath mode where every decision carries weight.

Immersion is at the heart of the experience. Your bow isn’t just a weapon—it displays essential information such as noise levels, remaining magic, and how visible you are to your foes. As creatures actively track you using sight, sound, and smell, you’ll need to manage your equipment carefully, keeping an eye on your quiver and noticing the tattoos on your hand that indicate your health and active powers.

Exploration plays a crucial role in uncovering the world’s secrets. In a safe haven that doubles as your base, every monster slain, power acquired, or piece of equipment found contributes to unlocking sculptures and a fully rendered 3D map. This space also offers seamless fast travel without interrupting the flow of the game, allowing you to navigate the sprawling wilderness with ease.

Enhance your abilities by upgrading your senses with powers borrowed from the creatures themselves—see scent particles, feel the residual warmth on their tracks, and perceive colors beyond human vision. Experiment with your bow and arrow, upgrading to unlock diverse types such as fire, wind-controlling, or even time-distorting arrows. Discover innovative interactions between these elements, like wind arrows intensifying a fire’s spread, as you combat the darkness.

Sound also plays a significant role in setting the tone of The Axis Unseen. With an original soundtrack composed by Clifford Meyer—formerly of the renowned post-metal bands ISIS and Red Sparowes—the music dynamically shifts from atmospheric ambience to intense heavy metal, perfectly echoing the game’s blend of primitive instruments and modern intensity.

Unravel the mysteries of this strange world by piecing together the journals of those who ventured here before you. Their entries reveal the tragic fate of the Hunters and hint at secrets that may hold the key to halting the creatures’ invasion. In this world, every discovery, every drawn journal entry and illustration, builds a larger story—a story where you alone stand between our world and the forces that would bring it to ruin.
