NEON HUNTER: SAMAEL'S SOLDIER is a cyberpunk-horror visual novel that begins with Cole, a man waking up outside the Wayward Motel in the middle of the desert. Before he blacked out, Cole lived in another world — a soldier, the kind they only call in when no one else can handle the worst of it. Now he's been dropped into a different world entirely, one where supernatural creatures aren't just children's tales. Unlike most adult visual novels, NEON HUNTER aims to deliver a genuinely cinematic experience — telling its story in a style that's actually enjoyable to watch unfold. The game is built on a story planned across multiple seasons, set in a varied, atmospheric world.
Will Cole find out why he was brought here? Will he hold his own in this new world?
Follow his story and find out.

Excellent start! I really like the atmosphere in this one, everything from the music to the visuals to the text. It's not too wordy, I hate it when it's too much bla-bla and you just want to click click until the good stuff. Interesting women too, seems like they have some depth. Hope we get to see more of the girl in the alley, she was fine!

This is after playing V0.2. This game has great potential but needs a little step up in quality to be great. The scenes in the game mostly look good. The writing is generally good with some really funny lines here and there. The story is fresh and new and if they step up the quality this game can actually be awesome! There is a lot of aimations. Some are good, some are... meh.... and a few are really bad. I think the dev thinks that having a lot of animations improves the game, but I think that having a few great animations are better than having a lot of crap ones. One animation was so bad it actully made me frown by a genital being very deformed. I'll keep an eye out for the next release and see if I like that one. If I do, I might support this dev. I hope there will be some spicy scenes with "Shifter" in the future, that girl is hot!

version 0.1-Enjoyed the ai renders, and the story very much. Enjoyed the nod to sam and dean, lol, and the terminator. This is something fresh among all the other things coming out of late. The animations are smooth, though a little short, probably due to gpu limits. Even on a 5090 i put the vid into davinci, grab the last frame, and continue with wan2.2 to make the next segment, then stitch the vids in davinci to get a longer clip. The story happens at a good pace. Love the whole on the next episode. Look forward to the next update.
