Winter Solstice arrived in the Bayou on December 15! ❄
his is a special time for many. The trees begin to sleep, and some mammals go into hibernation. Birds fly to warmer places and the nights grow cooler. The Wheel of the Year grows closer to finishing its cycle and that means celebration is at hand.
There is no doubt that things have been hard. Every single person here has had to fight demons both within and outside of themselves. Every death seen, every life taken, every battle fought has had us running on that Wheel just so we could reach its end. And here we are ever closer to another year wiser with breath filling our lungs and blood still pumping in our veins despite everything. Despite everything that's happened we are alive, and we can still fight, and God be damned if that isn't worth celebrating.
That's probably why they came here to New Orleans, those men shrouded in cloak and wreath. They called themselves kings and gave us the means to bring festivities to the bayou and forget it all for a while. But it wasn't free, nothing ever is, and now we must pay or else the Wheel will break.
Since long ago the wheel has been a symbol of progress, of moving forward, of time.
They’re the same wheels that take you to the swamps, Hunter, and bring you back home.
Hunt: Showdown is a first-person shooter survival horror video game published by Crytek. The game is set in the late 1890s, and details the hunters who take down various monsters that have since overrun the world.
