The Hunt of the Skinwalker

A 2-player asymmetric horror game built with Java Swing. One player is a Hunter armed with a gun; the other is a SkinWalker that can disguise itself as any of 18 environment props. Players connect over a local network and compete across three timed phases — Hide (15s), Hunt (60s), and Revenge (30s) — where the Hunter wins by landing a shot and the SkinWalker wins by surviving into Revenge and landing a melee attack. Features an authoritative server architecture, custom sprite animations (6-frame Hunter, 8-frame SkinWalker), tilemap rendering, real-time position sync at 25 ms intervals, and original sound effects.
