In Manhunt, players take on the role of James Earl Cash, a man who has been granted his life back after being killed. Set in Carcer City, a run-down rust-belt town where anything goes and nobody cares, Cash's goal is to stay alive long enough to find out who did this to him. He must run, hide and fight for his survival against hunters whose ultimate rush is taking lives for sport. With no one to turn to for help and enemies lurking around every corner, it's up to the player use their wits as well as cunning tactics if they hope to survive this brutal blood sport.
