About West Hunt
West Hunt is an online social deduction game set in the Old West. Players join a shared town as either Sheriff or Outlaw, completing randomly generated missions while trying to survive each quick match.

01 / THE GUIDE
Match Structures
Matches are organized into several configurations: 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 1 vs Bot, and a Custom mode where players can adjust settings within the limits described by the store page.
All configurations are online and allow Windows players to join together regardless of hardware, fulfilling the cross‑platform multiplayer claim.
- Start with 1 vs Bot to learn the basic flow before entering larger matches.
- Use Custom mode to test different player counts and observe how stealth dynamics shift.

Randomized Elements
Each round generates outlaw missions at random, meaning objectives such as bribing the barman or poisoning the water differ from match to match.
The outlaw’s appearance and the sheriff’s mail locations are also random, requiring players to adapt their strategies each time.
- Check mailboxes early to locate the sheriff’s mail before it’s moved.
- Adapt your outlaw plan each round because mission types and skins change.
03 / THE GUIDE
Stealth and Notoriety
Outlaws can blend with any villager type—woman, old man, or Native American—and complete side missions that lower notoriety, helping them stay hidden from the sheriff.
Shooting a villager results in an immediate loss for the outlaw, reinforcing careful target selection and stealthy movement.
- Finish side missions that reduce notoriety before tackling major objectives.
- Never fire at non‑outlaw villagers to avoid an instant defeat.
04 / THE GUIDE
Communication (Voice)
Both Sheriff and Outlaw players can use voice chat during matches, providing a channel for bluffing, coordination, or humorous interaction.
Voice chat does not alter core mechanics but can influence player decisions through deception or information sharing.
- Use voice chat to mislead the sheriff about your true intentions.
- Listen for clues in the opponent’s voice that may hint at mailbox locations.
05 / THE GUIDE
Customization and Emotes
Players may customize the Sheriff’s skin and acquire a pet dog that barks when the Sheriff aims, adding visual and auditory cues without affecting gameplay.
Distinct emotes are available for winning and losing, allowing players to express reactions after a match ends.
- Choose a Sheriff skin that remains clear during fast encounters.
- Use the dog’s bark as a reminder when you are aiming as the Sheriff.
