The more I think about it, the more I think Sir, You Are Being Hunted is better, at least in gameplay. It's the same open fields with little cover, but with better AI and far superior stealth mechanics. Betrayer is more running around popping moles (with inferior shooting gameplay) and clicking on chests. Betrayer has a major edge in atmosphere, plus you get to read a (good?) story from some dood's torn up diaries that has no apparent relation to what you're doing but might pay off later. Choose wisely.

Do any of you use an AMD GPU, and if so, have you fixed the weird glitchy shimmer on objects that you can interact with? I'm positive it isn't an intended effect, despite any highlighting the game might do for such objects.

How IS that game, anyway? I found it an interesting concept but then it also felt somehow, I dunno, too "quirky"? Any reason to put it on a (massive) backlog, or just skip?

Why tho

I actually think that bug has been there on NVIDIA as well at one point. IIRC the game was built on CryEngine, and that engine, while not fucking Unity, has a fuckton of bugs. Sorry, not really helping you out, I know.

It's a real shame that this game never got more attention, and that what attention it got from the "press" was largely negative. It's a great little game whose only sin is repetitiveness.

Not surprised it's having legal issues though, the devs have been completely MIA almost since the moment it launched.

Now that's just freaking sad.

Not really true, the game got a modest content update some time after release.

Release: Betrayer available to play for FREE

Bet you didn’t expect this news, but here we are – Betrayer is now available on GOG for FREE, as we continuously work on making games last forever!

Betrayer
is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure set in the New World during the early 17th century. You’ll step into the year 1604, having set sail from England with the expectation of joining a struggling colony on the Virginia coast. Instead of a thriving community though, you’ll be greeted by an eerie silence and mysteries; wondering what calamity befell this land, robbing it of vibrancy and life. Through the careful gathering of clues, your quest will be to reconstruct the narrative of this ill-fated settlement and uncover a way to restore order.

Check it out now, for FREE on GOG!

We'd also like to take a moment for a big thank you to Tyler, also known as tfishell – one of our fellow gaming enthusiasts, who helped us bring this gem to our catalog. We couldn't have asked for a more passionate and awesome community. Let's keep making games last forever, together.
