Monster Quest: Bunyip

Steve ‘Outback’ O’Reilly involves you in a six-day investigation that gradually shifts from simple fieldwork to something far less predictable. Early tasks revolve around gathering samples and helping him stabilize his research, but the deeper you go, the more the local ecosystem seems to react in subtle ways. Conversations with locals, unusual animal behavior, and scattered objects all contribute to a growing sense that something is influencing the reef. The Bunyip itself is never directly pursued at first; instead, its presence becomes clearer through these accumulating signs, until everything converges toward a final encounter.
