Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone PC (Early Access+VR)

A Hitman Story Built for VR and Non-VR

It puts players in the role of the Gunman, a feared professional operative working for a mysterious order that delivers its own form of justice outside the reach of the law.

Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone comes from solo developer ANB_Seth, the creator behind the well-known Half-Life: Alyx mods Gunman Contracts in Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone – Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Rather than simply expanding those mods, this standalone release was developed from the ground up as a new single-player experience with a much bigger scope.

The main campaign follows a new target known as the Collectors. This violent criminal organization has been kidnapping and killing innocent people, although the reason behind its actions remains unclear. The Gunman must track them down and uncover what is really happening, moving through locations that include a remote safehouse, a warehouse district controlled by a syndicate, and a mob-run restaurant hiding a much darker secret underneath.

The Hive and Its Weapon Room

Between contracts, the Gunman can return to the Hive, Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone’s personal base. It serves as more than just a place to prepare for the next mission.

Training options include a traditional shooting range, pop-up targets, speed-shooting challenges, and a holographic combat area where enemy encounters can be practiced. There is also a dedicated gun wall where more than 18 weapons can be unlocked and displayed.

Weapons can be customized at the gun bench, including different skins and modified gun sounds. The arsenal also includes a compound bow and knives, giving the player a few alternatives when firearms are not the preferred choice.

Challenge Modes, Scores, and Extra Features

The story isn’t the only way to play. Takedown Mode lets players choose enemy types and decide how many opponents to face before clearing the area. Up to 30 enemies can appear in these closed-area encounters.

Last Stand takes a different approach. Hostiles keep coming in waves while bombs need to be disarmed, with survival lasting as long as possible.

Both challenge modes add a competitive layer through Steam leaderboards. Scores are separated between VR and Non-VR, and leaderboards are available for every contract, skill game, and challenge. Steam Achievements are included as well, along with unlockable cheats for players who want to experiment after completing the main content.

Another nice extra is the custom music feature. MP3 files can be played in-game through the Gunman’s smartphone, allowing personal music to accompany the action at Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone.

With its mix of cinematic gunfights, short-form challenges, weapon customization, and a dedicated training base, Gunman Contracts – Stand Alone aims to deliver the kind of action-heavy VR experience that feels closer to stepping into an old-school hitman movie than playing a standard shooter.
