Why not shoot every deer?

[biceps always together!!]

The store page says "knowing if the deer in your sights is a player or not is the true challenge."

Why? You're a hunter who set out to kill deer. What do you care if the deer you shoot is actually... a deer?

I understand this can be balanced for gameplay with points or limited arrows or something but it just seems like a weird setting to try and force this type of The Thing gimmick. The point of the "impostor" is that you don't want to accidentally kill your friends.

Hunters have a sanity meter that goes down with time, and if you shoot an NPC deer (it goes down ALOT if you shoot the wrong deer).

If a hunter sanity reaches zero, it becomes night and the player deer become monsters to kill the hunter.

Yeah ok, so... why? Why would a hunter's sanity go down from killing a deer? Isn't that the purpose of hunting? Surely seeing a deer walk on two feet would be worse for one's sanity than a deer being a regular deer?

Like I said, I understand how this can be forced into "working" through gameplay "features" like that, but it still makes absolutely no sense as a setting for a game like this.

And yes, I know the real answer is "because the game needs to happen" and it's a comedy game by a couple of kids who don't understand the basic premise they're trying to copy and why it works in other games, but that's kind of the point.

Their sanity goes down because they are going more insane when the deer that was possessed is not revealing itself and the hunter feels like their are going insane.

because it's a video game, you could literally find a "but why" to every damn game in history

don't like it, don't buy it

if you need a reason, he's a vegan hunter that only hunt monsters and killing innocent deers makes him sad

my man over here trying to write a thesis on a casual video game

All this coming from a hentai gamer lmao

Who asked dude

[Stipper]

The tism is strong with this one.

If you got to kill every deer, then there would be no risk or reward to even successfully killing the right deer.

[Mesawhawnee]

The Hunter is clearly mad.
Some of the deer are possessed (the players) and the Hunter needs to kill them.
If he don't manage to do that before his sanity is fully gone his madness takes over and the possessed deer hunts him.
It's not that deep people ;)

[SportyHeadShot]

He wants to be able to come out shooting and kill every deer in sight without suffering any sanity loss

[Risinski]

I thought it was pretty clear that the Hunter set out to hunt deer, but instead found themselves surrounded by skinwalkers. Getting them mixed up and failing to kill the monsters before nighttime is the danger.

its a video game are you stupid
