BIGFOOT frames the search for the legendary creature as a survival-horror hunt across American wildlife sanctuaries. Players take the role of hunters trying to prove Bigfoot’s existence, but the expedition is not a simple pursuit: the description warns of other predators and the possibility that a hunter may become prey. Several US national parks provide the setting for this contest.
As a hunter, you can head out alone or gather friends, collect ammunition, study the terrain, and make use of available equipment and tools. The game also lets you play as Bigfoot, shifting the goal from survival to defending territory. In that role, you can seek food, use predator abilities, arrange ambushes, and set traps against the human intruders. The contrast between methodical preparation and predatory attacks gives the two sides distinct roles within the same wilderness premise.
BIGFOOT supports single-player play as well as online co-op, with different team sizes depending on whether Bigfoot is controlled by AI or another player.
