Find the Guardian before the enemy does, or the world will be in danger.

There has been an impressive and meticulous amount of work behind The Hunt. An enticing story and a beautiful book to read and to look at.
Darkwing did more than revamp my desire to read, play and write gamebooks - it has brought true innovation to the whole genre of interactive narration.
Librogame's Land - 8/10
Of all the ambitious and massive gamebooks I've seen, Darkwing has proven to be one of the most inspiring [...] We must acknowledge Davide Cencini as a very open-minded writer, capable of facing themes such as homosexuality, racism and immigration in a fantasy context without ever sliding into a form of propaganda for his own personal ideals.
NerDream.it - 5/5 stars
A true videogame on paper.
Epic.
Definitely the best gamebook I have ever played.
I think The Hunt features the most advanced mechanics ever seen in a gamebook. We are looking at a modern classic here.
