What is The Axis Unseen?

This single-player, first-person horror game takes place in an open world, where you hunt creatures to stop them from reaching our world. You follow tracks and blood trails, watch wind direction to avoid detection, and fight with a bow, elemental arrows, and magical abilities. Your bow and hand tattoos display health and other status information.
