Huntsman Gets New Visual Filters, Spider Behaviors and Animations, and More

Ten Image Publishing and OnTheHouse Studios today launched Update 1.1 for Huntsman, addressing a wide range of areas including spider behaviour improvements, new visual filters, bug fixes and more, with two additional updates in the coming months.

The game is available on Steam with a 30% discount, here.

Arachnophobes beware. Huntsman. Trapdoor. Orb Weaver. Tarantula. Four nightmares await players as they attempt to escape a research facility in lockdown, in a survival horror not for the faint of heart. Update 1.1 adds new visual overlays to bring players back in time to the 90s or 50s, changes to spider behaviours and threat animations and more, including a hint about a large upcoming feature in Update 1.2.
