Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video :) Big thanks to Apex Gaming PCs for sponsoring this one! It's awesome to be working with them. Get 5% off with the code 'IGP' here: apexgamingpcs.com/pages/igp Now I know there are probably a few questions and concerns regarding this deal so I'll hopefully ease your worry below: Yes, it is absolutely much cheaper and honestly recommended to purchase parts and build a PC yourself.

If you don't know much about PCs or building, these are here for you to customize yourself. The prices are high but if you can afford it, you save yourself the trouble and worry of self-assembly. Also you support yours truly, and I love you for it :) My best advice is to focus on potentially customizing the CPU from the set tiers. CPU is very important for streaming and rendering videos. If you can afford it, bump that part up some :) I'm happy to be working with them, but rest assured we are aware the prices are higher than building yourself.

Hey IGP in case your wondering a skinwalker is a creature in Native American folklore that is an evil witch of sorts that wears the skins of different animals allowing it to become the animal who's pelt they wear. Where as, wendigos are creatures in Native American folklore who were people who resorted to cannibalism for anyone who is curious about the difference between the two.
Skinwalker are similar to wendigos in the sense that they are morphed humans and native American lore creatures but they are very different, skinwalkers can shapeshift and sometimes warp reality itself. Spooky shit man
Wendigos usually live in woods and are large warped deformed humaniod that had a the wednigos head attached to it and it became that, skin walkers are native to the deserty type areas, and are native in Native American lore so theres that difference
Let alone skin walkers can morph into stuff and people and creatures, unlike wendigos who are only in one form, also skin walkers are waaaay scarier, even a TV show host and his crew who investigate the paranormal were scared to be in the location where skinwalkers lived
@@ctrlaltdelete6539 No not really, the skinwalker is what was mostly in the game, so it makes sense for the game to be called what it is, a skinwalker could be in the forested areas but it would be very rare, since its mostly found in like a mexico ish area
@@ctrlaltdelete6539 i think the name “Skinwalker Hunt” is a perfect name for this game though since its the most common urban tale and the most creepy one while the wendigo is more of SCP type thing
So the legends actually go that Skinwalkers were once humans, witches who traded their humanity for immortality and the power to shift shapes. For the most part, they tend to favors the shape of dogs, wolves or coyotes. (I guess because those are fairly powerful on their own) Although, their shifted forms will always be a bit... Distorted compared to what they're imitating. They could be missing the tail, their eyes might be weird, or any other number of things. I DoD enjoy this game though. It's an extremely interesting take on the folklore. Edit: IT HAS BEEN LESS THEN TWENTY FOUR HOURS WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!?
And the legends say that they live near the skinwalker ranch because of many supposed sightings and they also need the skin of the animal in question to shapeshift
my grandma told me she often saw a dog whos legs didnt bend right and its mouth opened a little to far and had a neck a bit to long. she would see it and the morning after find one of her farm animals gone (ranging from chickens, to sheep, cows or even horses) and she moved away as soon as one got her big draft horse, who was a powerful mofo.

Skin walkers are nothing like a wendigo. A wendigo is a person who became one becuse of going cannibalistic. And a skin walker is somthing that can shapeshift
A wendigo is the lust, greed, and hunger of a person A skin walker is an Indian (native American) folklore that takes the pelts of animals and uses them to look like the animal
These slow-paced hunts are great at building suspense, and yet having other fauna and supernatural beings to contend with always keeps me on edge. This is a great game - especially since it's still under development!
if they are using native American folklore as their direct source for everything in this game's creation then chances are those Deer-skull totems are how a Skinwalker marks its territory, meaning your in THEIR stomping grounds when you see one of those. Try laying traps in the area in advance before breaking those totems. Destroying those Deer-skull totems placed by the Skinwalker(s) should both piss it off and weakens it's powers by a small amount. Knowing how these sorts of games work though, breaking those things wont be enough to nerf its powers by a noticeable difference, but it *might* effect its health regen; slowing its health regen speeds down a little by little based on the total of each deer-skull totem you've destroyed. -Also the fact that breaking one of the Skinwalker's Totems tends to baits them to you in game is a nice bonus when your ready to F*ck'm up then and there! Oh! back onto Native Folklore/legends though - if the game is being true to the source material then FIRE will be the only way to insure it stays dead. And apparently covering yourself in ASH will make you harder to be seen by them. Dunno how that works other then the idea that they cant magically detect you when your covered in all that soot? -- but i mean if your in direct line of sight I doubt even bathing in a chimney's worth of ash will prevent them from seeing you in this game. Also another note: I love the Details they tossed into the existing mechanics in this build so far! The fact that DOGS will chase after/ run in the direction of skinwalkers is GENIUS! - no, legit; there are cases where even the most gentle of dogs have literally for no apparent turned "BATSHIT CRAZY" when the mere presents of a skinwalker was around. like, they wont attack real humans, just the skinwalker(s). Its fucking insane how many stories have mentioned where peoples normally timid dogs suddenly shifted personalities, acting like raging primal Apex Predators and chasing down, and sometimes outright attacking a reported "skinwalker" in stories of encounters/appearances. there was one report by a person of native American decent where they and their buddies were off hunting in the woods - (they brought their dog with them because they never leave home without them apparently, on account of said dog they had gotten from a rescue shelter and apparently it had separation anxiety issues? -weird detail to include in a story about a skinwalker encounter but personally to me it ads some validity to their claims of the encounter given what happened later on in the "report".-take that term with a grain of salt if you will, i'm not saying you have to believe it.) Welp, they had no luck on the hunt that particular day, and were setting up camp for the night, night rolls along, the narrator-the guy with the dog- and his buddies desided to get a bit drunk and route around the campfire that night, i'll skip the boring details and get to the point, one of the friends left in one direction to go take a piss in the woods out of sight, they were out there for a while, and then the man with the dog her his friend calling to him and the other buddy from a different direction, and its at this time his normally timid as fuck dog was growling with and barking. when said "friend" who was calling appeared into view. the dog literally went to maul him. managed to skin his teeth into the "friend" 's arm, drawing blood before the still intoxicated narrator could get up off his ass to do anything. with a loud yell happening at the same time as the dog was thrown off the "victim's" arm, still holding a chunk of skin in its mouth before the victim then fled back into the woods. about less then a minute passes when, here comes the friend , huffing and puffing, back from the actual direction he had left from initially to take said piss, totally unharmed, but scared shitless, asking what happened because he heard the screams and thought there had been a bear attacking or something. Mind you, the drunken friend who went for said piss, was not harmed in any way, and the dog even went over beside the owner like nothing had ever happened, thought still covered with the fresh blood on its muzzle. it was at this point, they all Nope'd the fuck out of there. Again, there was much more details, but that's the summery of the one story I recall hearing about. So the fact that they included THAT level of detail into the gameplay of this game, its just BEAUTIFUL!
Fire's always a symbol of purification, and was often used against witches, and I believe that covering yourself in ashes to hide is similar to hiding from the Predator by being covered in mud.
@@fenorlex1126 I’m thinking that they can sense presences and the ashes hides your presence so unless you’re physically seen by it you are invisible to it
They should have done more research into cryptid and lore, skinwalker and wendigos aren’t the same and skinwalker def don’t have deer skulls for a head, unless they took over a deers skin, but in that case, it would look more like a deer.
Yeaaah. Skinwalkers can shape shift (hence the name) but normally their these armless blobs with long legs. And wendigos are from different tribes folklore… Jesus I’m gonna stop saying the name now, I’m gonna end up attracting one to me if I’m not careful. Edit: I’ve since learned that skinwalkers use to be human.
@@coulflame8275 Actually wendigos have been extremely culturally appropriated, they aren't in the actual folklore different species and for what I know they got that they wear deer skull. Its mostly just the idea of humans turn cannibal.
@@creditsunknown7974 well the wendigo folklore comes from the northern regions in America where (back then) food is scarce in the colder month. The tale of the wendigo was made to tell off people from eating their nabours when food is low.
I think the reason the birds and stuff were following him was because skinwalkers can make other animals do what it wants and the skinwalker wanted to find you so it used birds.
Oh this should be good if we get all those “manly screams “ we got from Witch Hunt. Remember when IGP was scared of every tree? 😂 😂 I still hear those screams.🤣😅🤣
@IGP skinwalkers and wendigos are two seprate being wendigos are cursed people for their greed or if they become cannibals while skinwalkers are people who pretty much choose to be what they are so pretty much skinwalker deliberately change them selves while wendigos dont get a choice other than dont be greedy and dont be cannibalistic.
Skin walkers in folklore are quite different from wendigos, but both been changed so much that their modern definition is vague. For what I know they are shape shifting monsters that haunt woods.
@@CheshieD well, Hollywood is not the main culprit, mostly just explorers and people misunderstanding (or just not caring about) the religions and ideas of others, a example or this is the Yeti, who was originally a deity of the hunt but because of people just not caring and wanting to confirm their biases turning it into a Sasquatch myth.
@@creditsunknown7974 yeah it’s a whole mess when it comes to a lot of folklore being skewed from what it actually is. Like people think fairies (faeries) are these tiny people with wings and they’re nice…… noooot at all. Most faeries don’t even look human, and they’re certainly not constantly nice, if ever.
@@CheshieD thing is, faeries are an unbrella term too, because when we refer to Faeries it could mean stuff like Leshies and spriggans, but it does include the Fae
Skinwalkers are not only completely different from Wendigo, but they are also known to be guardians who protect something like ancient land. From what I can assume, the main character may be trespassing on accident Native American land that the Skinwalker is protecting whom has also made the land it's home.
A skinwalker is a creature in Navajo folklore. It's a evil shaman or witch, or evil spirit that wears the skins of animals or people to become basterd versions of them.
Skinwalkers also created off of created the greed for power and immortality without care of whether they become a servant to darkness. Not to mention skinwalkers are strictly Western native creatures specifically Navajo they aren't anywhere else
A skin walker is a native American legend that was thought to shapeshift into other creatures, and (I might be wrong) stalked people in different forms
From what I understand skin walkers are shapeshifters, and wendigos are humans that have eaten other humans becoming wendigos, with an unstoppable urge for human flesh. I don't know if there is a connection between the two, but I know both are humans who have been cursed for their wrong doings
Both are native American cryptids but I think they are from different regions of the us. Multiple different cultures have some cryptids that are similar, like shadow people. One explanation is that it is sleep paralysis and hallucinations
Aliens, paranormal activity, portals, beings from other dimensions, time rips, cattle slaughter, Bigfoot or Wolfmen sightings, yeah, Skinwalker is not a place I'd recommend anyone going.
The Wendigo is a Skinwalker, but it's more on the ancient magic side of things. It's an individual being with it's own abilities and mind set. Skinwalkers live and die by their way of a hunt. The Wendigo feast on the sanity of the unsuspecting. Skinwalkers attack hitchhikers and semi-truck drivers. The Wendigo attacks anyone it can without drawing attention. The Wendigo is a Skinwalker, but it has more personal desires, whilst a Skinwalker is one of many who hunt for flesh.
Skin walkers are a shaman who sold his soul and did a specific ritual to become a skin walker. Or atleast in most of the lore I know. And wendigo is when a human is driven to the last point of hunger before death and they eat human flesh the spirit of the wendigo posses them and transforms them, that's the difference between the two, wendigos are not very smart but they are atleast middle school to possibly highschool level supposedly, but skinwalkers still retain their humanity for the most part and are extremely smart
Simply skinwalkers are monsters that change their appearance and wendigos are usually people that turned into monsters because they resorted to cannibalism.
Random comment but I really liked how, when IGP was doing his sponser, there was a little yellow mark at the bottom to show how much time was left before he continued on with the video. I would normally just skip ahead (with any video I watch) but that was a really nice visual indicator! So thank you for it!!
Glad to see another game where you get the shit scared outta you 😂 and skin walker is a Navajo (I think correct me if I’m wrong) which can shapeshifter and possess animals
According to Navajo legend, a Skinwalker is a medicine man or which who has attained the highest level of priesthood in the tribe, but chose to use his or her power for evil by taking the form of an animal to inflict pain and suffering to others.
I've had youtube for over 14 years and I've never ran into your channel. I love horror games, especially cryptid hunters so I think you will quickly become one of my most watched.
im guessing you have to reload the weapon once a misfire happens in this game. also maybe igp should probably head back to his basecamp real quick since it has an ammo box (probably with inf ammo in it)
Bruh just said the Skinwalker was the same as a Wendigo. The Wendigo came from Algonquin Canadian native folklore, and refers to a human turned evil from being possessed by an evil spirit with the desire for human flesh that can never be fulfilled, gaining supernatural powers from said spirit. The Skinwalker, on the other hand, came from Navajo American native folklore, and refers to a witch that is able to take the form of an animal, usually a coyote.
The skin walker and wendigo are similar but very different the skin walker can take the skin of an animal or human to use as a clothing it can also sound like loved ones they know if your talking about them this helps them hunt you down and kill you. The wendigo does it for food but the skinwalker will do it for fun that is the main difference but they both play with their food.
Bruh, I could not be happier with the apex gamming pc sponsor, in about three days I was planning to get a new computer. This just put it in stone as to what I'm getting. Thank you for the awesome discount and I love to be supporting one of my favorite youtubers
There's a lot of similarity between the Rake, skin walkers and the wendigo. Skinwalkers can take the form of humans, animals and other living creatures. They often try to copy human voices and cry for help to lure victims, and the further they sound the closer they are. Wendigos can mimic voices as well. Usually they mimic loved ones, similar to Siren head. I don't know much about the two but they are kinda similar
I used to live near skinwalker ranch and would head near there from time to time and it is just a very weird vibe that you get when you are there. There was one spot on the road heading up there where my mother and I would feel extremely ill for about a mile we didn't really think much of it we just thought we were getting nervous as it was our first time headed there but on our way back we got the same feeling in that area it was so strong, we had to pull over because she thought she was going to throw upkeep in mind this was all at night so we didn't exactly like having to pull over. The entire time we were there we felt like we were being watched and the whole feeling was just very overpowering we went one other time and it was in the day and nothing really happened except for my phone seemed to die a little faster than normal but i can't say that it was anything to do with the area
IGP...if u love open world hunting scary/horror, with random events, gunfight, intense monster combats and dynamic faction relations...WHY, are you not recording yourself playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly?. It's literally free and S.T.A.L.K.E.R Trilogy devs are aware of this and they love it, if u thought SUBNAUTICA has "alot" of mods or even """"garrys mod"""" for example, you are missing alot of content in that game, even if it's "old" like Reshade u use in subnautica, there's like 10/20 for stalker anomaly, there's literally thousands of addons and every day at least 10 addons are optional to download into the game, (Personally recommend use "mod org" and set up all mods there so you don't need to create a backup if a mod doesn't work). You can even search for S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly 4k provacks , there's a guy related for a stalker group witch publishes links free to download for everyone, if u wanna customize it personally, it's pretty easy... Seriously buddy, u are missing a S**t ton of content on S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly.

Two really good addons are dynamic mutants and dynamic nocturnal mutants. But maybe you have to change the settings of both to your liking. Otherwise it can be brutal defending a base during nighttime.
I can't wait to see more of this game as time goes on, hopefully they eventually add a multiplayer feature for you and Icy :). I love reading about skinwalkers and other creepy things so this very much peaks my interest.
Texan here. Wild boar can be very dangerous. They destroy land & kill animals anywhere they go. Hogs can also be short tempered & will gore people if angered. They grow pretty large & will walk across highways & cause accidents, brushing off being hit by a car more often than not.
I love the "F'ing... Puumba" And, yeah skinwalkers and the Wendigo are unique from one another. Different tribes, for starters, and skinwalkers can steal the forms of humans "walk in their skin". Can't remember what tribe, but skinwalkers were their version of Europe's medieval witches in that anyone could be suspected to be one, as memory serves. Been a while since I researched them, so I may be wrong there.
I absolutely loved witch hunt. The variety of creatures with that creepy ambiance. It really scared me and did a great job. It also has my favorite scream of his in that series. I look forward to this one.
I'm glad to see other people talking about the folklore. Skinwalkers are Navajo in origin with whendi being northern. Skins take the form of animals but never look quite right, I'm not sure if they can shift to human appearances (check out flesh gates for those). Whendis do not have deer heads from what I've read, I've heard Until Dawn is more accurate, it's just become a trendy thing for some reason. I think skinwalkers are terrifying personally.
You see different tribes told stories of creatures that matched the same description, being the skin Walker and the wendigo. Basically someone gave into a selfish desire, such as cannibalism and they were consumed by their greed turning them into a viscous cannibalistic monster, they are reported to have powers such as camouflage, can mimic any noise even human speech. The creepy part is even early settlers started having many reports of such a creature even though there was no way they knew the myths before hand
My god, usually with watching people play games I can hardly pay attention to the footage and use it as background noise, but this one had me *riveted* .
@IGP Just rewatching some of your older videos. Old but gold. I love how every once in a while you just fear shat a flare xD. I know the comment is two years late, but still I love the old videos as much as the new. xD and I still love "It's coming." "NO IT AIN'T!!"
7:50: I like the reload animation! .308 round, I guess? They're already that powerful since they're basically machine gun rounds. Also you can swim & you're shivering when cold ❄️🥶
For those who don't know Skinwalkers are type witches who have the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. Fun fact: yee naaldlooshii (the name given in Navajo culture before it now called Skinwalker) mean "by means of it, it goes on all fours"
Skinwalkers are somewhat shapeshifters and generally shamans who exchanged their humanity for power, wendigos are people overtaken by cannibalism and the spirit of the wendigo

Try laying traps in the area in advance before breaking those totems. Destroying those Deer-skull totems placed by the Skinwalker(s) should both piss it off and weakens it's powers by a small amount.
Knowing how these sorts of games work though, breaking those things wont be enough to nerf its powers by a noticeable difference, but it *might* effect its health regen; slowing its health regen speeds down a little by little based on the total of each deer-skull totem you've destroyed.
-Also the fact that breaking one of the Skinwalker's Totems tends to baits them to you in game is a nice bonus when your ready to F*ck'm up then and there!
Oh! back onto Native Folklore/legends though - if the game is being true to the source material then FIRE will be the only way to insure it stays dead. And apparently covering yourself in ASH will make you harder to be seen by them. Dunno how that works other then the idea that they cant magically detect you when your covered in all that soot? -- but i mean if your in direct line of sight I doubt even bathing in a chimney's worth of ash will prevent them from seeing you in this game.
Also another note: I love the Details they tossed into the existing mechanics in this build so far!
The fact that DOGS will chase after/ run in the direction of skinwalkers is GENIUS! - no, legit; there are cases where even the most gentle of dogs have literally for no apparent turned "BATSHIT CRAZY" when the mere presents of a skinwalker was around. like, they wont attack real humans, just the skinwalker(s).
Its fucking insane how many stories have mentioned where peoples normally timid dogs suddenly shifted personalities, acting like raging primal Apex Predators and chasing down, and sometimes outright attacking a reported "skinwalker" in stories of encounters/appearances.
there was one report by a person of native American decent where they and their buddies were off hunting in the woods - (they brought their dog with them because they never leave home without them apparently, on account of said dog they had gotten from a rescue shelter and apparently it had separation anxiety issues? -weird detail to include in a story about a skinwalker encounter but personally to me it ads some validity to their claims of the encounter given what happened later on in the "report".-take that term with a grain of salt if you will, i'm not saying you have to believe it.)
Welp, they had no luck on the hunt that particular day, and were setting up camp for the night, night rolls along, the narrator-the guy with the dog- and his buddies desided to get a bit drunk and route around the campfire that night, i'll skip the boring details and get to the point, one of the friends left in one direction to go take a piss in the woods out of sight, they were out there for a while, and then the man with the dog her his friend calling to him and the other buddy from a different direction, and its at this time his normally timid as fuck dog was growling with and barking. when said "friend" who was calling appeared into view. the dog literally went to maul him. managed to skin his teeth into the "friend" 's arm, drawing blood before the still intoxicated narrator could get up off his ass to do anything. with a loud yell happening at the same time as the dog was thrown off the "victim's" arm, still holding a chunk of skin in its mouth before the victim then fled back into the woods.
about less then a minute passes when, here comes the friend , huffing and puffing, back from the actual direction he had left from initially to take said piss, totally unharmed, but scared shitless, asking what happened because he heard the screams and thought there had been a bear attacking or something.
Mind you, the drunken friend who went for said piss, was not harmed in any way, and the dog even went over beside the owner like nothing had ever happened, thought still covered with the fresh blood on its muzzle. it was at this point, they all Nope'd the fuck out of there.
Again, there was much more details, but that's the summery of the one story I recall hearing about.
So the fact that they included THAT level of detail into the gameplay of this game, its just BEAUTIFUL!
I thank you for all this info my guy / gal, thank you so much.
Fire's always a symbol of purification, and was often used against witches, and I believe that covering yourself in ashes to hide is similar to hiding from the Predator by being covered in mud.
This comment is deceivingly long
@@fenorlex1126 I’m thinking that they can sense presences and the ashes hides your presence so unless you’re physically seen by it you are invisible to it

They should have done more research into cryptid and lore, skinwalker and wendigos aren’t the same and skinwalker def don’t have deer skulls for a head, unless they took over a deers skin, but in that case, it would look more like a deer.
Yeaaah. Skinwalkers can shape shift (hence the name) but normally their these armless blobs with long legs.
And wendigos are from different tribes folklore…
Jesus I’m gonna stop saying the name now, I’m gonna end up attracting one to me if I’m not careful.
Edit: I’ve since learned that skinwalkers use to be human.
Either way, no way in hell I'm camping cause I'd be paranoid the entire time 😂
@@CheshieD isn't the lore that even thinking of them attracts the wendigos attention?
@@coulflame8275 Actually wendigos have been extremely culturally appropriated, they aren't in the actual folklore different species and for what I know they got that they wear deer skull. Its mostly just the idea of humans turn cannibal.
@@creditsunknown7974 well the wendigo folklore comes from the northern regions in America where (back then) food is scarce in the colder month. The tale of the wendigo was made to tell off people from eating their nabours when food is low.

@IGP skinwalkers and wendigos are two seprate being wendigos are cursed people for their greed or if they become cannibals while skinwalkers are people who pretty much choose to be what they are so pretty much skinwalker deliberately change them selves while wendigos dont get a choice other than dont be greedy and dont be cannibalistic.
Skin walkers in folklore are quite different from wendigos, but both been changed so much that their modern definition is vague. For what I know they are shape shifting monsters that haunt woods.
Hollywood has changed their definitions mostly, especially when it comes to the wendigo.
@@CheshieD well, Hollywood is not the main culprit, mostly just explorers and people misunderstanding (or just not caring about) the religions and ideas of others, a example or this is the Yeti, who was originally a deity of the hunt but because of people just not caring and wanting to confirm their biases turning it into a Sasquatch myth.
@@creditsunknown7974 yeah it’s a whole mess when it comes to a lot of folklore being skewed from what it actually is. Like people think fairies (faeries) are these tiny people with wings and they’re nice…… noooot at all. Most faeries don’t even look human, and they’re certainly not constantly nice, if ever.
pretty sure the skinwalker is the shapeshifter and the wendigo is just a max level cannibal.
@@CheshieD thing is, faeries are an unbrella term too, because when we refer to Faeries it could mean stuff like Leshies and spriggans, but it does include the Fae
14:37 That's the scream we all love and know from IGP even if it was just a snake. 🐍 😂 😂
It's scary how close the skinwalker gets before it attacks. So creepy sometimes.
"oh, skyrim your way up there dude!"-IGP what a true gamer.
Skinwalkers are not only completely different from Wendigo, but they are also known to be guardians who protect something like ancient land. From what I can assume, the main character may be trespassing on accident Native American land that the Skinwalker is protecting whom has also made the land it's home.
A skinwalker is a creature in Navajo folklore. It's a evil shaman or witch, or evil spirit that wears the skins of animals or people to become basterd versions of them.
The difference between a wendigo in a skinwalker is that the Wendy that was created off of greed and a skinwalker is just a witch
Skinwalkers also created off of created the greed for power and immortality without care of whether they become a servant to darkness. Not to mention skinwalkers are strictly Western native creatures specifically Navajo they aren't anywhere else
Wendigos are from cannibalism
You turn into a wendigo after you eat a person
@@BeefbrothHD3L the more you know also thank you
I knew the meat tasted funny at Wendy's
A skin walker is a native American legend that was thought to shapeshift into other creatures, and (I might be wrong) stalked people in different forms
It is true. These creatures hunt other humans and animals by shapeshifting. However, the Skinwalkers are evil by “playing” with their human prey.
@KS Users45 I'm native too lol
Yeah we stalk in different forms, just like now because you said our name.
*Monster hunting game requires more than one player*
Igp: I’m just gonna ignore that
Single player game
From what I understand skin walkers are shapeshifters, and wendigos are humans that have eaten other humans becoming wendigos, with an unstoppable urge for human flesh. I don't know if there is a connection between the two, but I know both are humans who have been cursed for their wrong doings
Both are native American cryptids but I think they are from different regions of the us.
Multiple different cultures have some cryptids that are similar, like shadow people. One explanation is that it is sleep paralysis and hallucinations
A Skin Walker is different than a Wendigo, Skin Walkers are basically Shapeshifters
There's also skinwalker ranch, which is full of alien werewolves from another dimension.
Aliens, paranormal activity, portals, beings from other dimensions, time rips, cattle slaughter, Bigfoot or Wolfmen sightings, yeah, Skinwalker is not a place I'd recommend anyone going.
07:19 "Skyrim your way up, dude..." LOL
The Wendigo is a Skinwalker, but it's more on the ancient magic side of things. It's an individual being with it's own abilities and mind set. Skinwalkers live and die by their way of a hunt. The Wendigo feast on the sanity of the unsuspecting. Skinwalkers attack hitchhikers and semi-truck drivers. The Wendigo attacks anyone it can without drawing attention. The Wendigo is a Skinwalker, but it has more personal desires, whilst a Skinwalker is one of many who hunt for flesh.
Skin walkers are a shaman who sold his soul and did a specific ritual to become a skin walker. Or atleast in most of the lore I know. And wendigo is when a human is driven to the last point of hunger before death and they eat human flesh the spirit of the wendigo posses them and transforms them, that's the difference between the two, wendigos are not very smart but they are atleast middle school to possibly highschool level supposedly, but skinwalkers still retain their humanity for the most part and are extremely smart

I love how he usually post horror at night so he can instill as much fear to us as possible.
Finally another creature hunting game. This is what got me turned on to your channel. Hopefully they'll add a new monster to folklore hunter.
Simply skinwalkers are monsters that change their appearance and wendigos are usually people that turned into monsters because they resorted to cannibalism.
Random comment but I really liked how, when IGP was doing his sponser, there was a little yellow mark at the bottom to show how much time was left before he continued on with the video. I would normally just skip ahead (with any video I watch) but that was a really nice visual indicator! So thank you for it!!
Ah yes, time to hear this man scream into my ears while im doing an online exam
I love these type of games, especially when IGP is playing!!
Glad to see another game where you get the shit scared outta you 😂 and skin walker is a Navajo (I think correct me if I’m wrong) which can shapeshifter and possess animals
Yes, which is different from a wendigo which originates from other tribes in the north.
According to Navajo legend, a Skinwalker is a medicine man or which who has attained the highest level of priesthood in the tribe, but chose to use his or her power for evil by taking the form of an animal to inflict pain and suffering to others.
I've had youtube for over 14 years and I've never ran into your channel. I love horror games, especially cryptid hunters so I think you will quickly become one of my most watched.
I think Witch Hunt was the actual early access version of this game. Feels like it, anyway.
im guessing you have to reload the weapon once a misfire happens in this game. also maybe igp should probably head back to his basecamp real quick since it has an ammo box (probably with inf ammo in it)
I would love to see multiplayer gameplay, that is if the game is multiplayer
I love it when IGP plays these kind of games, they don't get enough love or appreciation.

Bruh just said the Skinwalker was the same as a Wendigo. The Wendigo came from Algonquin Canadian native folklore, and refers to a human turned evil from being possessed by an evil spirit with the desire for human flesh that can never be fulfilled, gaining supernatural powers from said spirit. The Skinwalker, on the other hand, came from Navajo American native folklore, and refers to a witch that is able to take the form of an animal, usually a coyote.

"Thank God I played COD"😂
The skin walker and wendigo are similar but very different the skin walker can take the skin of an animal or human to use as a clothing it can also sound like loved ones they know if your talking about them this helps them hunt you down and kill you. The wendigo does it for food but the skinwalker will do it for fun that is the main difference but they both play with their food.
Bruh, I could not be happier with the apex gamming pc sponsor, in about three days I was planning to get a new computer. This just put it in stone as to what I'm getting. Thank you for the awesome discount and I love to be supporting one of my favorite youtubers

It’s more than a horror story. It’s actually comes from some Native American tribes, it’s some of their folklore.
Ya same

I hope this dev does a whole series of supernatural hunting : Vampires in Transylvania, Yeti's in the Himalayas etc.
Skinwalkers are in the Nevada region of America and wendigos are in the great lakes regions
I'd be interested in an IGPc.. if it too screamed like a girl at jump scares.
I'm for hire if that's what you wanted
manly screams*
Yoooooo this finna be great
Out all the videos I’ve seen, this was the shortest, you’re not as long as I remember
That's what she said
There's a lot of similarity between the Rake, skin walkers and the wendigo. Skinwalkers can take the form of humans, animals and other living creatures. They often try to copy human voices and cry for help to lure victims, and the further they sound the closer they are. Wendigos can mimic voices as well. Usually they mimic loved ones, similar to Siren head. I don't know much about the two but they are kinda similar
I used to live near skinwalker ranch and would head near there from time to time and it is just a very weird vibe that you get when you are there. There was one spot on the road heading up there where my mother and I would feel extremely ill for about a mile we didn't really think much of it we just thought we were getting nervous as it was our first time headed there but on our way back we got the same feeling in that area it was so strong, we had to pull over because she thought she was going to throw upkeep in mind this was all at night so we didn't exactly like having to pull over. The entire time we were there we felt like we were being watched and the whole feeling was just very overpowering we went one other time and it was in the day and nothing really happened except for my phone seemed to die a little faster than normal but i can't say that it was anything to do with the area

Hey IGP, is the flashlight F or T on the keyboard? Asking for a cold friend. Who may or may not have an accent. 😂
IGP...if u love open world hunting scary/horror, with random events, gunfight, intense monster combats and dynamic faction relations...WHY, are you not recording yourself playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly?. It's literally free and S.T.A.L.K.E.R Trilogy devs are aware of this and they love it, if u thought SUBNAUTICA has "alot" of mods or even """"garrys mod"""" for example, you are missing alot of content in that game, even if it's "old" like Reshade u use in subnautica, there's like 10/20 for stalker anomaly, there's literally thousands of addons and every day at least 10 addons are optional to download into the game, (Personally recommend use "mod org" and set up all mods there so you don't need to create a backup if a mod doesn't work). You can even search for S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly 4k provacks , there's a guy related for a stalker group witch publishes links free to download for everyone, if u wanna customize it personally, it's pretty easy...
Seriously buddy, u are missing a S**t ton of content on S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly.
I just started a few days ago and got jumpscared by a chimera in Red Forest.... bro, that shit is wild, i run out of food and was traveling to Jupiter to buy some, an Emmision came and....well.... everything went to shit. IT'S SO HARD TO WATCH OUT TO GRAVIATIONAL ANOMALIES MEN, HOLY MOLLY
But i 1000000% agree, STALKER Anomaly has alot of content
Two really good addons are dynamic mutants and dynamic nocturnal mutants. But maybe you have to change the settings of both to your liking. Otherwise it can be brutal defending a base during nighttime.
I can't wait to see more of this game as time goes on, hopefully they eventually add a multiplayer feature for you and Icy :). I love reading about skinwalkers and other creepy things so this very much peaks my interest.
Texan here. Wild boar can be very dangerous. They destroy land & kill animals anywhere they go. Hogs can also be short tempered & will gore people if angered. They grow pretty large & will walk across highways & cause accidents, brushing off being hit by a car more often than not.
I love the "F'ing... Puumba"
And, yeah skinwalkers and the Wendigo are unique from one another. Different tribes, for starters, and skinwalkers can steal the forms of humans "walk in their skin". Can't remember what tribe, but skinwalkers were their version of Europe's medieval witches in that anyone could be suspected to be one, as memory serves. Been a while since I researched them, so I may be wrong there.
All I know about skin walkers are that they are like servants of the devil and can shape shift
I absolutely loved witch hunt. The variety of creatures with that creepy ambiance. It really scared me and did a great job. It also has my favorite scream of his in that series. I look forward to this one.
I'm glad to see other people talking about the folklore. Skinwalkers are Navajo in origin with whendi being northern. Skins take the form of animals but never look quite right, I'm not sure if they can shift to human appearances (check out flesh gates for those). Whendis do not have deer heads from what I've read, I've heard Until Dawn is more accurate, it's just become a trendy thing for some reason.
I think skinwalkers are terrifying personally.
You see different tribes told stories of creatures that matched the same description, being the skin Walker and the wendigo. Basically someone gave into a selfish desire, such as cannibalism and they were consumed by their greed turning them into a viscous cannibalistic monster, they are reported to have powers such as camouflage, can mimic any noise even human speech. The creepy part is even early settlers started having many reports of such a creature even though there was no way they knew the myths before hand
Skinwalker: I sacrificed a loved on to get the ability to transform myself into anything I want…and I regret nothing
Im watching this at night, and have the sound almost at max. This has made it very even creepier for me.
Bro those knocks scared the hell out of me. 10/10 recommend watching at 11 pm at night.
Man this is one of my favourite game genres from the rake to Bigfoot to folklore hunter they are just so fun and I’m glad we keep getting more of em
My god, usually with watching people play games I can hardly pay attention to the footage and use it as background noise, but this one had me *riveted* .
@IGP Just rewatching some of your older videos. Old but gold. I love how every once in a while you just fear shat a flare xD. I know the comment is two years late, but still I love the old videos as much as the new. xD and I still love "It's coming." "NO IT AIN'T!!"
7:50: I like the reload animation! .308 round, I guess? They're already that powerful since they're basically machine gun rounds.
Also you can swim & you're shivering when cold ❄️🥶
For those who don't know Skinwalkers are type witches who have the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal.
Fun fact: yee naaldlooshii (the name given in Navajo culture before it now called Skinwalker) mean "by means of it, it goes on all fours"
Skinwalkers are somewhat shapeshifters and generally shamans who exchanged their humanity for power, wendigos are people overtaken by cannibalism and the spirit of the wendigo
MrBallen has an amazing story about skinwalker ranch. One of the best so far imho
