In 2005, together with a small group of friends, Levi Chambers founded the Appalachian Investigation Group. Their mission was to find concrete proof of the monsters that had haunted Levi, his friends and family, and so many others who called the mountains home.
Levi’s ultimate goal?
Find and kill the Mothman.
Unique in the co-op horror genre, Blue Ridge Hunting will feature a full five chapter story mode at its 1.0 launch. Players will follow the journey of Levi Chambers, a disgruntled West Virginia native haunted by sightings of the infamous Mothman his entire life. Set off with Levi across Appalachia to uncover the truth, encountering a wide cast of characters, terrifying monsters, and unforgettable stories along the way.
The game explores themes of generational trauma, grief, and family told through the unique lens of Appalachian folklore. Developer Jade Meadows set out to create a love letter to the region’s culture, celebrating the community and resilience of West Virginia while also acknowledging the more painful parts of its history.
