Fear & Hunger
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Fear & Hunger is a horror dungeon crawler set in the dark and hopeless dungeons of fear and hunger. 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
The world of Fear & Hunger is VERY dark. THE GAME IS MEANT ONLY FOR MATURE AUDIENCES! Extreme violence and gore are everyday sights in the dungeons and death is one of the easier ways to go in the game. The game has drug and substance abuse, heavy themes ranging from self-mutilation to sexual violence. None of the themes are taken lightly however. They are all part of the world building and there to create the unique atmosphere where the game measures just how far the player is willing to go in order to survive.
Parts of the dungeon layout, events, loot and enemy placements are randomized with few different variations to keep things fresh with subsequent playthroughs. The game is designed with the classic trial and error formula, so you can expect to start the game over and over again. But as long as you learn from your mistakes, you can quickly find yourself at the deeper levels of the dungeon.
The combat in Fear & Hunger is turn-based akin to classic role-playing games, but with a twist of it’s 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 for survival in Fear & Hunger - You can find better equipment, learn different blood and love magic, fuse characters into each other, pray 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.

Hey. Not sure when anyone will see this, but I'm currently making a game in RPG Maker vx ace and I wanted to know how to get the effect of a dead party member falling dead on the floor after combat.

Hey there. I am also from Germany and would like to play the game on steam because I use mint as my main OS and there seams to be an issue with the linux version of the game (libgconf-2.so.4 missing and apparently deleted). Running it through steam would be simpler than running it through lutris.
Code: 293928864
Also I am unable to upload a screenshot for some reason as I get a server error when trying to.
Also, here's some fan arts.
I remade my animation.

Hello,
im from Germany and would love to have Fear & Hunger 1 and 2 on my Steam Account. Is there a way to get the Key there? My friendcode is 78829005. Thanks in advance and a Happy new year^^
Hello!,
Could I get a quick explanation on how to run the linux version of the game? I have made the file "Game" executable and tried to run it but nothing happens. I have Ubuntu 24.10.
Hey, I hope you've found the solution, but in case you haven't I followed a Steam answer and it worked for me! Credit to LeCrinjus:
".. All you need to do is to download NW.JS for your Linux distro (version 0.38.2 seems to work best), copy all the files inside the zipped archive and paste them into the game's path (/<steam path>/steamapps/common/Fear & Hunger).
After that you can directly run the "nw" executable in there and it'll open up the game. Just make sure the "package.json" file and "www" folder are in the same path as the "nw" executable so it can load the game files."
Original discussion.
I used the latest stable NW.JS and when it prompted confirmation for merge/replace, I answered yes to all files. Enjoy :D
Thanks for the advice. I have tried running the nw executable that comes with the game itself and that launches the game, I had no need to do anything else. It probably was added in recent versions, I just did not know that I executing "nw" instead of "Game" was an option, :/
Glad you got your game working :3 Have fun the in dungeon!
