Today’s Niche Spotlight is The Equinox Hunt, a stealth roguelite by EvilStar Studios.
You play as an unfortunate victim being hunted by a deranged cult in a secluded forest. The cult has divided themselves into different factions that each use unique tactics and weapons, in their quest to find and kill you as part of their depraved ritual. Unarmed and outnumbered, your only hope for survival is to stealthily escape the forest by avoiding the hunters.
