Arguably the most notorious witch hunter in history, Matthew Hopkins and his colleague John Stearne sent more to the gallows for witchcraft than all other English witch hunters before them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, I began writing a screenplay inspired by this history while working as a producer at Crows Crows Crows. Transforming this vision to the screen led me to found the new independent studio Twin Swans, bringing together talented artists and developers whose credits also include The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Signalis. Our shared love of history and craft guided us in the creation of Hunter\u2019s Moon \u2013 a reimagining of a witch hunt in 17th-century Early Modern England offering an experience of the stories and horrors that might unfold under such wicked circumstances.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-422653\"><video data-poster=\"https:\/\/image.mux.com\/y00p8y9gSbtEgZcG9NAfNqUNByGoqS8rh1nsqeKOu6ro\/thumbnail.webp?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ5MDBwOHk5Z1NidEVnWmNHOU5BZk5xVU5CeUdvcVM4cmgxbnNxZUtPdTZybyIsImF1ZCI6InQiLCJleHAiOjE3ODg1MzM5NDUsImtpZCI6IjRMNXlPY2pyVjFOVXFWemNVdkpCbjF3VG00ZVRHRzlNaDAyMDFZazVqdTlOQSJ9.BMAesHNJsOdi7NPq65a-ODtMDvzQEYiC7oYuN5CHM4_C1tyjgHxhcpmN3zvxGu6uJLglHCD96TEtInva-cDMr0ObcB4npAosNCLVDnkZYSvbl_HMJUZ9Pkzv-Xkg4xPTXWb5RlEuObR5mZdIEc64i8L96v_BjHICf5ke1QSCcmSW5YY595Fh_G-P8JadZdmTSC9agjmJ576d7AihZonhVqlCTx5WvuMXzlHLqiN9i5LBbEW9wIOLjTh-AiqjUP26xVArPuo-n8_2FBYrlnl2UIcncwyqJ1n4KrNd0c7OXhfcXuqbZ62rpr0swZoYDObhTDT-71mRad5D6-EaXxEvGw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stream.mux.com\/y00p8y9gSbtEgZcG9NAfNqUNByGoqS8rh1nsqeKOu6ro\/capped-1080p.mp4?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ5MDBwOHk5Z1NidEVnWmNHOU5BZk5xVU5CeUdvcVM4cmgxbnNxZUtPdTZybyIsImF1ZCI6InYiLCJleHAiOjE3ODg1MzM5NDUsImtpZCI6IjRMNXlPY2pyVjFOVXFWemNVdkpCbjF3VG00ZVRHRzlNaDAyMDFZazVqdTlOQSJ9.IS0Kh7BEkkTLhRR-3M1Tf0xsAyibXrzYGmIWs0voBi3nD-hY6FEceowZWybmMLvCerBxKaenXs2-aF3pssZ5egR7aRdEVgvJulBCY5JtgeVWcoRQ73RafQifY8HRPNua6e2PM3pe7QAn-3T_Y0I7aXH1mq65qxhibqIMp8EYPh6-GlHq5ddZms3Bwtr-5wHQfs7urdyLL0LVcQYlYsCQ96hlZ6VkIDJLDhnIajx-Fns1M-z_SmClp2jxXtoO3FUVUqyTZht5nUCB-gTAFYc0d1isBlZkz3_g056PV_YmhuM4a7h28tOtDUjlqCvo7scegQMls4jVIFtTXBWi8EocGg\" preload=\"metadata\" height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Hunter\u2019s Moon is set at the height of witch-hunting fever in 17th-century England, the concept of the \u201cwitch\u201d is universal. Nearly all cultures have independently identified this figure of the witch: a magical person, usually a woman, existing on the fringes of society. Societies throughout history have accused, persecuted, and even executed innocent people based on these magical beliefs. Although many consider it a thing of the past, the practice still continues in some parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite our modern understanding of the historical and social factors behind witch-hunting, contemporary screen-based media continues to rely on this same magical thinking when telling the stories of women accused of witchcraft. Whether they\u2019re depicted as \u201creal\u201d witches or as innocent women, an element of the supernatural typically pervades their stories: tales of witches flying around on brooms and drinking the blood of babies, or of terrifying ghosts haunting the communities that tormented and killed them.\u00a0Likewise, many horror games evoke the supernatural \u2013 and our willingness to believe in it \u2013 to terrify players.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-422655\"><video data-poster=\"https:\/\/image.mux.com\/aKXJKmiOvD1Kzp1yzPRQj3tMUxgXH01uaZWjMSDal028s\/thumbnail.webp?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJhS1hKS21pT3ZEMUt6cDF5elBSUWozdE1VeGdYSDAxdWFaV2pNU0RhbDAyOHMiLCJhdWQiOiJ0IiwiZXhwIjoxNzg4NTMzOTQ1LCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.OqvWchJo9J6eOUo9LPdMF5irPsW5igoUkA4wWaVUNRJjbyf90HlyO7bHhp-CDYlj09zDw8o1r9iG4hJCKk9c7UfCxwxh2I2FsUiI5soJ1A-A2bmfZCnhVvwtmvto3Fp9w3yKbEALpuxGmLt2KQF2rQragg0AcczwAlmnBJiIJ-eYSTrW5_OsGpaqcRG2q7un6SMGiE1LLtjau2bRkDKR-01-_bbmjG5gAMEAoKjjOxG4G449n4psBYJ2WF6KB5PfVHoNOj3fq5nUjwMGC5Gi9CDOKTIF2TFGR-KYDnn-liNfJvNpbiYOUrVgJTBOfOtBq4hk7_dhrIU81Ud-UtuFIw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stream.mux.com\/aKXJKmiOvD1Kzp1yzPRQj3tMUxgXH01uaZWjMSDal028s\/capped-1080p.mp4?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJhS1hKS21pT3ZEMUt6cDF5elBSUWozdE1VeGdYSDAxdWFaV2pNU0RhbDAyOHMiLCJhdWQiOiJ2IiwiZXhwIjoxNzg4NTMzOTQ1LCJraWQiOiI0TDV5T2NqclYxTlVxVnpjVXZKQm4xd1RtNGVUR0c5TWgwMjAxWWs1anU5TkEifQ.gux3o4rhNMQH7MRQ8Sy8Gawj2frEtMP1-LS2esNTF-Szvio915Q-qFmAspFosfhwoghYRTUGjg6izzmOQ715XgRHGmVUsLoga5uJ8TqSqieU2LHt_XSYgY1M2PTJbRI1a56awHhEAbexSphDVSVAB3ZhXURzLqE4CKqn6SzidTd6bqh-O5aH_GMThWGsxIBGfbWHwJy9Byt4I_ujjwO0R4a6ixkq4aYWM2tabW_IVJeF8pEMPUGcaRsitFCyPMenE-W4KttVi9Q730Oc4Au4QPkKXWYLvfLdeudEli1K7GGyAZtRblHJMQE9T1nYw2y4Q6f6uHhzMeS_KlLQ2irsJw\" preload=\"metadata\" height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by this true history of English witch hunts and the tradition of folk\u2013horror, Hunter\u2019s Moon asks you to consider: what if the most terrifying thing in our world is not monsters or magic, but other people?
