Why Being a Medieval Monster Hunter Was a Death Sentence

So you’ve been mistaken for a monster hunter. Unlucky.
Welcome to medieval Europe — a place where superstition bleeds into justice, rot masquerades as folklore, and anything that looks vaguely human but slightly off must be killed before it spreads its sin. In this slow, immersive descent, you’re a limping vagabond dragged into the role of reluctant exorcist, amateur tracker, and disposable scapegoat. You’ll fight beasts that might be wolves, men, myths, or nothing at all. And worse than the monsters are the villagers who sent you.
