Fear & Hunger
A dark fantasy survival horror RPG in which players must uncover the secrets of the dungeon of Fear & Hunger.
What it feels like
Slow-building anticipatory fear of terrible things is woven throughout the dark, hopeless atmosphere. Harsh unflinching darkness refusing to look away from brutality defines the tone of this survival horror experience. The crushing suffocating heaviness of the dungeon's atmosphere presses onto the player throughout.
What it's about
A grim, decayed fantasy world is the core setting for this horror dungeon crawler with cursed atmospherics and moral ruin. Horror is a primary design goal, with survival horror influences from Silent Hill and a focus on frightening and disturbing the player. Survival mechanics and resource scarcity are central to navigating the hopeless dungeons and staying alive.
How it plays
Turn-based strategy combat is a major component of this j-RPG-influenced dungeon crawler. Survival horror elements demand careful budgeting of scarce resources—food, weapons, sanity—under constant pressure. Roguelike elements typically involve permadeath mechanics raising the weight of each choice and decision.
How it looks and sounds
Dark fantasy setting with horror elements suggests ornate decay and macabre grandeur in visual design. As an indie game from 2018 with roguelike and j-RPG influences, pixel art is likely used, though not confirmed in summary.
How it's structured
Descending through successive dungeon floors or chambers is the definitional structure of this roguelike dungeon crawler. Roguelike elements mean play is divided into discrete runs that reset on loss, with potential progression between attempts. Designed as a solo experience with no multiplayer, fitting the isolated, claustrophobic horror tone.
