Press Hunter is an animated Ren'Py game by Sunset Studio. It casts you as a young male protagonist seeking success after joining a powerful city journalism company. Office relationships mix ambition, rivalry, and attraction, while choices affect both your career and personal connections. The game uses a sandbox-style structure.
The current v0.0.6 build, released January 21, 2026, is still under development. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Android in English, with no censorship. This update adds Day 8 story content, a new map, hundreds of dialogue lines, and new locations. It also introduces an article scene with Peneloppe, a meeting with Olivia, a date with Lin, Irina’s late-night call, and evening calls with Amber and Elisabeth. There are 15 new animations, cinematic animated scenes, a phone interface, wallpaper changes, reworked backgrounds, and visual polish.
Developer's description
You’re young. Talented. Hungry for success.
Landing a position at the city’s most powerful journalism company should be your biggest challenge.
But ambition isn’t the only thing waiting for you behind those office doors.
Tension builds between colleagues. Smiles hide competition. Attraction blurs the line between professional and personal.
In this world of influence, secrets, and temptation, every decision carries weight — both for your career… and for the connections you can’t ignore.
