Immerse yourself in Shaman: Spirithunter, a story driven action-adventure, where you scout and hunt depraved animal spirits to grow and unlock shaman powers. Once strong enough, you can finally face the elusive Great White Stag to bring about an end to the eternal winter ravaging his land. The very survival of your people depends on your skill as a hunter and spiritual shaman.
