Four misfortuned adventurers dwell deeper and deeper to the darkness and uncover the secrets this ancient fortress holds inside. The fortress works as an ancient nexus for different planes of existence. The depths are in an eternal turmoil as both old and new gods struggle for power, it's up to the players to choose their position and stance in all of this.

    The game is a hybrid of survival horror and dungeon crawler genres with its influences ranging from Silent Hill to Nethack. There are roguelike elements to the game as well as a heavy foundation of a j-RPG. Fear & Hunger is heavy on atmosphere and ruthless in its difficulty.

    - Oppressive and relentless atmosphere
    - 4 different character classes and many additional characters to recruit
    - Unforgiving and unique gameplay
    - Randomized elements to keep the game fresh with subsequent playthroughs
    - Turn-based Strategic Dismember Combat System
    - Graphical art style mixing pixel art with digital painting
    - Original ambient soundtrack creating the dreary mood    … Expand

    Fear & Hunger is a great survival horror RPG. It is disturbing, filled with twisted lore that makes one want to plunge further into its depths to learn more. The game allows you to make many choices, no matter how heinous, to survive or gain power to achieve your goals. The atmosphere is dark and horrifying, with gameplay that complements it to make you feel like you are exploring a dangerous place with very little safety to rest. I've tried it on my computer and Steam deck with little to no issues.

    My best friend showed me this game, the feel of the atmosphere, the dread the pure terror and fear you feel in this masterpiece I would sayMy best friend showed me this game, the feel of the atmosphere, the dread the pure terror and fear you feel in this masterpiece I would say this is the game of the decade. No conversation doesn't end us talking about Fear and Hunger. This game is very hard and I would recommend some guidance to get through the beginning if you cant figure it out after 3 times dying. It has the best story of any horror game because it is told so well and you feel so powerless in the Dungeon of Fear and hunger. This game still has no review which is unbelievable.… Expand

    good art, atmosphere and enemy design. other than that everything in this game is bad.
    you never "fear" anything in this game its just 50%    good art, atmosphere and enemy design. other than that everything in this game is bad.
    you never "fear" anything in this game its just 50% coin flip for every action. picking items, fighting, saving and even reading the lore is a coin flip in this game.
    i don't know how anyone think this is a perfectly fine game design for everything to depend on luck and 0% skill.
