Fear & Hunger is a 2018 survival horror role-playing video game developed by Finnish game developer Miro Haverinen, also known as orange online. Taking place in an anachronistic dark fantasy setting mixing Medieval and early modern environments, Fear & Hunger follows one of four playable characters as they delve into the Dungeon of Fear and Hunger, facing off against deadly traps, puzzles and monsters as they make their way deeper, in order to find the mercenary leader Le’garde.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Developed by Miro Haverinen and published by Happy Paintings in 2018, Fear & Hunger is a role-playing game set in a dark phantasy setting with horror and survival mechanics. As presented by the steam page, the game is incredibly dark in themes, so indeed it is a mature game. With a fighting system akin to a JRPG, battle takes place in turns, where the player chooses each of the character’s actions targeting towards body parts of the strange enemies spread in the dark corridors of these dungeons. Another important mechanic is the survival. Items are limited and often kept behind a coin flip that even when correctly chosen, may lead to negative outcomes. Other than hunger and physical damage, the dungeons also affect your character’s mind, something that can be remedied by items found in the dungeon. Something to be always conscious about is that this game is evil and despises the player. Every single choice, no matter how big or small will be faced with resistance. From searching boxes, to walking around, to even choosing to save or not will be dangerous, and in that, making the choices that much more important and impactful. As you progress into the darkness, the cruelty and depravity that surround everything increases, as the story starts to be unveiled to the player. New characters and potential party members can be found, and if so chosen, follow the player opening new story branches and abilities. An important tool for survival is magic, that can be learned by following different steps, but more importantly, is their presence to the story. Like the violence, dark themes, and characters, all the elements as oppressive as they are, serve important parts of an overall universe of old and new gods, humanity’s cruelty and a search for knowledge, no matter the price. If you seek a dark and twisted adventure, one that doesn’t refrain for using extreme violence and difficulty to present its story, Fear & Hunger may be the game for you.
