Could we please maybe add whether the person/critter(s) is alive or dead in the hunt verb?

Yes please. I've hunted down a couple critters that hadn't decayed yet, it's quite annoying.

From the convenience side of things, it's a no brainer.

But on the reality check side, I am forced to ask: how would you know, if you are simply looking around for tracks?

>>You take note of all the tracks in the area, so that you can hunt anything nearby down.

A dead critter still leaves tracks, provided they weren't dead a few minutes ago.

Same way you track down PCs that didn't necessarily go through your room.

Oh and the same way that you know that they're hiding (if you have enough skill)

Both of these are accomplishable through mundane means. I won't bother lecturing you on tracking, so long story short: when you're attempting to move unnoticed, it affects the tracks you do leave.

As for how you'd notice someone who hasn't "moved through your room," I'd imagine you just step outside the box.

I'm not sure what you mean by step outside the box and why it can't be applied to telling if something was dead, same for telling someone is hiding. If you can tell they're hiding from who knows how far away (remember that rooms can be extremely long) then you should be able to tell if they're dead as well.

This is all beside the point though, you're talking real life. This is a game. Playability trumps realism.

Playability >>>>>>>>> Realism.

You mean learn Perception when you hunt? It already does that.

If not, I'm not sure what you mean.
