West Hunt is an online social deduction game set in a Western town. Players take the role of an outlaw hiding among townsfolk or a sheriff trying to identify the hidden criminal.
As an outlaw, you complete randomly generated tasks such as bribing the barman, poisoning water, or stealing from the bank. You can also take side missions to lower your notoriety and avoid drawing attention.
As sheriff, you investigate the town, collect information, and check mailboxes for clues. Shooting a villager costs you the round. Matches offer team and custom formats, play against bots, and customization such as sheriff skins, emotes, and a pet dog.
Players who enjoy West Hunt often describe it as a funny, easygoing game to play with friends, with its hidden-outlaw premise and sheriff-versus-outlaw roles providing the main appeal. Some also like the distinctive Western detective setup. These positive comments are frequently tempered by reports of difficulty finding public matches.
