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.

Co-op Appalachian Cryptid Hunting
Blue Ridge Hunting is an online co-op
horror game. You and up to 4 friends will investigate, document, and hunt cryptids in the
Appalachian Mountains of eastern America. Based on real sightings, phenomena, and legends
from the region.
Join the Appalachian Investigation Group, and utilize various tools and items to collect evidence
and track down creatures. Get paid for successful hunts, and use your money to invest in new
equipment. Creatures are always listening and looking; utilize proximity voice chat and your
radio for communication, but be careful not to attract too much attention...
