A love letter to Appalachia

My name is Jade Meadows, and just over three years ago I began work on Blue Ridge Hunting, a co-op horror game set in Appalachia. Shortly after starting development, I began my transition, and moved to southwestern Virginia to focus on Blue Ridge Hunting full-time.

Since moving to Virginia, I've driven thousands of miles through rural Appalachia. I've listened to folks recount old family stories, traveled underground into forgotten coal mines, and sat suspended underneath the New River Gorge Bridge. These experiences and adventures inspired the Appalachia depicted in Blue Ridge Hunting. This game is a love letter to the region that was my home during a difficult time in my life, and an exploration of its history, people, and painful scars of the past.

This photo gallery documents my travels through the Blue Ridge as I explore the many real-world locations that will be available for you to experience. I will be updating the gallery periodically with new locations—you can follow me on Bluesky to stay up-to-date.

I hope you enjoy.
