Inspired by the famous franchise Monster Hunter, Wilderfeast It doesn’t just offer epic battles against gigantic creatures, but invites us to reflect deeply on our relationship with nature, and the food we consume.

Hunting and Cooking: A Sustainable Combination

Imagine being a wilderan adventurer who hunts gigantic creatures not just for glory, but to turn them into sumptuous feasts. But here, it’s not just about cooking delicious dishes: each meal you prepare allows you to absorb the abilities of the creatures you consume, transforming you into a human-animal hybrid. It is a version of the saying “you are what you eat” taken to a whole new level and handled with such delicacy as to avoid the simple glorification of hunting.

Wilderfeast constantly reminds us of the importance of maintaining a balance with nature. You do not hunt for vanity or to enrich yourself, but to protect the world from creatures afflicted by a mysterious disease called frenzycaused by the greed of a global conglomerate. It is an act of necessity, not gratuitous violence, and that makes every hunt a moment of reflection on conservation and respect for our surroundings.
