Dungeon of Fear & Hunger

The world of Fear & Hunger is extremely dark, depicting casual nudity, rape, sexual content, extremely casual drug and substance abuse, and extreme depictions of violence and gore. This is a game that is not meant for a casual game audience, as the themes that are in play are NOT taken lightly. These themes create a hostile, extremely cruel and vindictive atmosphere and serve to make the world of Fear & Hunger an extremely unique one, challenging the player and the characters in the world on how far they will go in order to survive. In many, MANY gameplay situations, it will be easier to end the run, or let death take your character simply due to the brutality of the game world.

Dismemberment is a core part of the combat, and is applied to all characters. Self-amputation is a mechanic of the game, and self-harm via alcohol, drugs and other substances are a part of keeping your characters alive.

Trial and Error is what Fear & Hunger is built upon. Your main leverage on the game is knowledge of this world and the mechanics, which are never explicitly explained and only exist, requiring exploration, testing, and most likely research if you wish to get good in the game. Mistakes are the only way to get proficient with anything in the game, and it's required to achieve a better ending. RNG is also a part of this game: with all loot, enemy placements, parts of the dungeon layouts, and many events being randomized for each playthrough to keep things fresh but to also not allow the player to have the comfort of relying on certain elements as some map spaces, which can be seen with the dogs at the start, where you can only avoid them on a certain seed, but not all of them, which discourages reliance on any RNG elements.

The combat in Fear & Hunger is turn-based akin to classic rpg games, but with a twist of its own. You can target individual limbs of your enemies to dismember them strategically and thus maximize your chances for survival. However, just the same, enemies can also cut off the arms and the legs of your playable characters if you are not careful. You need to prepare well for every encounter if you wish to stay alive. But don’t forget that running away from threats is often the best solution as well. There are many ways to survive in Fear & Hunger - You can find better equipment, learn different blood and love magic, fuse characters into each other, pray to different gods, talk your way out of battles, meet new party members, snipe enemies from distance, use traps to disable them... and so on. The idea is to use what you got at your disposal and be creative with it.
