## About This Game
Five hunters have tracked the beast and failed. Now it’s YOUR turn!
YOU are a hunter; a man or woman of wealth and leisure who has turned their
time to hunting the fiendish monsters that assail humanity. One such horror is
plaguing the city of Harrow’s Gate. The last five hunters to search for it
have all gone missing. You must find them and lay the monster low!
A choose your own adventure novel in which your choices and actions can lead
you to glorious victory…or ignoble defeat. Explore an original story with
three challenging game difficulties, unlock hidden lore to better understand
the world you enter, and enjoy the artwork you discover in the gallery.
This independently produced novel features a dark soundtrack (with optional
atmospherics) by Cryo Chamber, as well as over 40 unique page images to
unlock.
The text of the game has also been recorded by a professional musician and
story-teller, making it into an interactive audiobook. Featuring no battle-
royale shenanigans and produced without 100-hour work weeks, Vile Philosophy
is an old-fashioned, spine-chilling steampunk tale you can enjoy time and time
again.
## Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
The Hunter’s Journals; Pale Harbour contains frequent references to violence
throughout the content in the form of descriptive text. The page images avoid
directly referencing topics and content that would disturb younger players but
cannot be considered suitable for viewers of all ages, even if they are
presented without context in the gallery. The voice over directly follows the
text on screen and so should be turned off when at work or in the presence of
sensitive individuals.
Overall the game contains mature themes and is not suitable for children.
However, all of this content is provided in the form of a dark fantasy novel
with vivid descriptions of combat and it’s effects on the human (and inhuman)
body. There are no cutscenes or animated violence, and the images have been
selected and edited to keep them from being too extreme. The game should be
suitable for anyone who enjoys horror novels and Lovecraftian fiction.
