Huntsman is ready to make your skin crawl. Developed by OnTheHouse Studios and published by Ten Image Publishing, this survival horror experience traps players inside a research facility overrun by realistic, unpredictable spiders that hunt with terrifying intelligence.
Unveiled at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, Huntsman brings primal fear to life with meticulously animated eight-legged predators, suffocating atmosphere, and brutal survival mechanics. The game will officially launch on PC this November, with a Steam demo available beginning October 13, 2025.

🕸️ Forget Everything and Run — FEAR the Huntsman
In Huntsman, you play as a newly hired security guard at Atherton Laboratories, a sprawling research complex that has become home to something monstrous. When an experiment goes catastrophically wrong, the facility is overrun by genetically altered arachnids, leaving you trapped and outnumbered.
Defenseless and alone, you’ll have to outthink the swarm, scavenging supplies, rerouting power, and making impossible choices as you uncover the truth behind Atherton’s experiments — and the origin of the Huntsman.
Each spider hunts, moves, and reacts with chilling realism, forcing players to rely on stealth, sound, and sheer nerve to survive.
🔦 Descend Into the Web
Explore a dying facility: Power systems are failing, lights flicker, and the corridors echo with the scuttle of unseen legs. You’ll need to divert limited power between areas to access critical rooms and unlock new paths.
Improvise or Die: Use everything you can — flashlights, throwable objects, environmental hazards — to outmaneuver the Huntsman and its growing brood. You can’t kill them all, but you might survive long enough to escape.
Fear Has Eight Legs: Each spider behaves dynamically, using adaptive AI to stalk, ambush, and corner players. Every encounter is unpredictable, every sound a threat.
🧬 A Personal Nightmare Turned Game
Developer Jory House, founder of OnTheHouse Studios, shared how Huntsman was born from a real phobia:
“Huntsman was a way to help overcome my own fear of spiders. The feedback from early players pushed me to expand it into a full game. It’s been terrifying and exciting in equal measure — and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”
Publisher Chris White, CEO of Ten Image Publishing, added:
“We’re thrilled to debut Huntsman as our label’s first major release. Jory has created something truly special — and horrifying. It’s a game that will stick with players long after the credits roll.”
