You’ve stumbled into shadows. You know what lurks in darkness. There are more monsters tonight than ever before. It’s time to fight back. Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition is a standalone game that can be played by new or existing players.

There may be more monsters than ever before, but now there are more ways to fight them, too. In Hunter: The Vigil, anyone can be a hunter ― provided you are committed to the hunt. It is a game of personal horror and sacrifice that tests relationships and encourages teamwork within a cell, compact, or conspiracy.
