Indie insane studio, Vlambeer, released Yeti Hunter while they were on the GDC floor yesterday, seriously. You can play it now and as you might expect, it’s pretty darn good.

So here’s the story: while still running their booth with plenty of people running around and with one of the two man team being quite ill, Vlambeer shot up above the crowd and announced that they were going to release their next game, Yeti Hunter, right there and then because why not? By the way, the didn’t plan for this. In between scrambling to meetings and finding a power source for their laptop, they actually managed to put together a website from scratch so that you can download the game right now.

We have had a go at Yeti Hunter and found it quite terrifying actually. It’s a typical hunting game really – you have a gun in first person mode and your task is to shoot yetis. The problem is that everything is white from the heavy snow so seeing a yeti is a challenge in itself, though shooting one through the scope of your gun.

With a chilling, synthy soundtrack from Kozilek, the game becomes quite the scare as you anticipate being jumped on by one your camouflaged prey. When nightfall comes, we found the tension to be too much so scampered up a tree for some feeling of safety. We actually did see a yeti once and tried to shoot it but couldn’t tell you if we hit or not.

Anyway, give Yeti Hunter a go yourself by going to the official website and clicking that download button.
