“A storytelling game based on the comic by Patrick Horvath of the same name. Dexter meets Richard Scarry/Zootopia in this cozy town of murder.”
Los Angeles, CA – [October 14th 2025] – IDW Comics and Hunters Entertainment are proud to announce an exciting new partnership, starting with a brand-new storytelling board game based on the acclaimed, Harvey Award-winning comic series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees created by Patrick Horvath, published by IDW Publishing.
The game places players in the heart of a seemingly idyllic small town, where every character harbors hidden, dark secrets. When a murder shakes the community, players must work together to unravel the mystery of the crime while simultaneously protecting the skeletons in their own closets. Unlike traditional role-playing games, this experience doesn’t require a gamemaster. Instead, it blends exploration-style board game mechanics with rich storytelling elements, ensuring that every play session feels unique, tense, and deeply immersive.
“It’s an immense pleasure to see what the folks at Hunters Entertainment have brought to this game,” says Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees creator Patrick Horvath. “I never imagined this little book could be expanded into such a rich experience, and they have blown me away with how much creativity they’ve brought to this twisted little world.”
“We at Hunters Entertainment are huge fans of Patrick’s work and are extremely excited about bringing our own unique and innovative blend of narrative and board game design to this dark and cozy world.” said Ivan Van Norman, Co-Founder of Hunters Entertainment.
The Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – A Storytelling Mystery Game launched on Kickstarter this week. Fans eager to explore the secrets, solve the mystery, and keep their own lies hidden. You can learn more on Kickstarter, or on Hunters website at www.HuntersEntertainment.com
