Dark Hunter is an adventure game that is the second entry of Shibusawa Kou’s “English Dream” series -following the three-part entry, Emit. The purpose behind both projects is to teach Japanese people the English language with the help of a thrilling narrative.

This game was released as two separate parts, the first part being Strange Dimension School and Demon Forest is the second. Character designs were made by Atsushi Kamijo with Naoyuki Onda for line cleanup.
