Ok so I bought the game! But… I can't open it, like at all. At first I thought it was something with the files and it would say "sorry can't open game/fear and hunger” so I watch some YouTube videos and messed with the terminal. Now it should work right, still no I turn the MacOS file in to a active thing or what every (I really don't know what I'm doing) Now I open it and wait a few seconds and it say that it fail to load and to relaunch or report problem. I'm so lost and I'm really hope someone can help.
The other problem you'll encounter if you can get the game to run is you cannot save your game progress. I tried awhile back to fix that and could not find a solution.
just found your games via vids on youtube and got really interested in playing them myself. Love the dark, gory, gothic vibes I get from it. Reminds me a bit of berserk and Lovecraft. Very intriguing. Actually nice to have a game where you're weak and your decisions therefore really matter / you really struggle to survive.
Unfortunately I'm from Germany and couldn't buy them on steam. So I just created an Account and purchased them here. But would it be possible to get the steam keys as well, since I'm playing/starting most of my games there?
Hey! I'm not Orange but I do have an answer for you, Steam keys can work, just make sure that the one you purchase is global. I'm Aussie and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is banned here, but the steam key worked all the same, certain keys can only be activated in certain parts of the world, so look out for that.
LMK if you have any more questions, hope this helps!
Hey,
thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any global keys at the moment. It reads “sold out” everywhere. Guess I need to wait. Luckily I bought it here. So I can at least play it.
But the possibility to download it on all devices through steam would be lovely.
A few other global keys worked out just fine.
Recuerdo perfectamente la primera vez que jugué Fear & Hunger, creo que fue el año pasado, no tengo claras las fechas.Ese día estaba navegando en itch.io, precisamente en la sección NSFW, tenía mi miembro erecto fuera del pantalón, lo tenía enrollado con mi mano izquierda mientras con la derecha escroleaba buscando un buen juego para hacerme una paja, estoy seguro de que ya era de noche y solo buscaba placeres carnales, al bajar en esa página encontré un juego con una portada oscura y unos personajes con un estilo algo tétrico y descolorido que llamo mi atención, decidí posar el cursor encima de dicho juego y emergió una pequeña pestaña con parte de la descripción y dos imágenes del juego y su gameplay, así fue como di clic en el ratón con el cursor encima del juego.
Baje por la página de presentación del juego buscando el botón de descarga, así que no puede evitar ver las imágenes a su derecha, en las que se mostraban más secciones del juego con una atmosfera obscura y lúgubre, que no tardo en generar en mí las ansias de jugar.
No estoy seguro si ese juego en aquel entonces estaba en su versión demo, pues no recuerdo que haber pagado por ella, más bien, recuerdo que estaba de forma gratuita para su descarga, por lo que no me fue difícil decidir dar clic en ese botón de descarga. Después, lo clásico, descompresión del archivo, mover la carpeta de descargas a mi carpeta de juegos e iniciar el juego.
Al arrancar el juego y pasar por la pantalla de menú para crear una nueva partida, apareció en la mi monitor una pantalla de selección de personaje, observe que cada personaje tenía su propia historia, pero no le di mucha importancia y elegí al que me parecía que lucia mejor, el mercenario. Arranco mi nueva partida, explore un poco la zona, había una puerta en frente y un pasadizo a la izquierda, después de ver a un animal inerte y observar el lugar, me percaté de que mi única opción era el pasadizo a la izquierda, entre en él, lo primero que note fue que se dirigía a algún lugar bajo tierra, entre en él y el ambiente se puso más lúgubre al bajar, avance por él, había algunos seres que me generaron incomodidad con su apariencia y que trate de evitar en la medida en que fuera posible, pero no duro por mucho tiempo...
Un ser grande con aspecto humanoide se acercó a mí e inicio un combate, al entrar en la pantalla de combate, note el gran miembro del ser, un miembro que le colgaba hasta el suelo, al ver ese escenario, mi mente recordó que yo tenía el mío por defuera del pantalón, ya flácido en ese momento, pero no le di importancia. Continúe con la pelea descubriendo los controles de combate, perdí no muy rápido, de un momento a otro estaba controlando a mi personaje que estaba arrastrándose por el piso mientras el ser me perseguía, a los pocos segundos me alcanzo e inicio mi primera pantalla de "game over", en ella vía a mi personaje siendo penetrado por el gran miembro del ser una y otra vez hasta qué fue el verdadero fin de esa partida.
Después de eso, deje de jugar, sin desinstalar el juego, regrese a itch.io, descargue un juego que se llamaba Attack on Survey Corps, lo jugué unas horas, me hice una paja y me dormí.
I bought the game for the MAC OS, and I've ran into 2 problems on my end. Every time I try to save, be with the book of enlightenment, or the beds, or even the very first save of the game at the beginning when we create the characters, it always ends up never saving and ending with the clicking sound. The second problem is that whenever I try using the empty scroll for free stuff, it never gives it to me. Be it with TEACH or GIVE. Please help.
Hey Orange, I really wouldve liked to play this game via steam, however its banned in germany. I just bought it here for 8 Dollars plus 2 additional on top in the hopes that you can send me a unlock code on steam or something? Anyway thanks for this great game!
No, sadly. I managed to make my own quick path and added an icon from google images. Already finished the game twice, one time with D'arce ascending to godhood and the other time with Le'garde ascending to be the yellow King, love this game.
Hey Orange + community! I'm playing on Mac with IOS 12.7.3 and every time I try to save the game makes a noise and looks like it's going to save but then doesn't. I updated my system thinking it was maybe outdated and re-installed F&H but no luck. Wondering if anyone knows what might be causing this? Thank you so much!!!
I bought the game for MacOS, but for some reason it won't let me play? Whenever I click the "game" icon it keeps saying "the application 'game' cannot be opened" Any ideas on how to make this work? I'm very confused.
Hi there, I don't know why but my Mac won't give me the option to "Open With". I have The Unarchiver but it doesn't show. Do you, by any chance, know why?
hey flyingscarf. Sorry, I'm not sure what might be causing that issue.
On the other hand, after successfully unzipping the game, I've noticed that it crashes consistently on MacOS, and seems like other commenters have noted this too. Appears the game no longer supports MacOS :/
I have the same issue. I haven't downloaded the game since I wanted to try the demo first, however the demo keeps crashing on MacOS and I don't think there's much I can do. I didn't need to unzip anything but I don't think thats the problem here. :(
Alles klar, hab ihm auch ne Mail geschrieben mal schauen was jetzt passiert. Wenn hart auf hart einfach refunden und probieren es als steam Geschenk zu kaufen.
Hab ich schon versucht. Soweit ich weiß ist die einzige möglichkeit deinen Steam Shop mit VPN auf ne neue Location zu setzen und per Kreditkarte (oder eine andere gültige Zahlungsart in Amerika) zu bezahlen. Aber soweit ich das mitbekommen habe kann dein Steam Account dafür gebannt werden also genieße es mit Vorsicht.
Viel Glück.
PS: Ich habe auch noch keine Antwort auf meine Email bekommen
Hello, im also from Germany and bought Fear&Hunger and Termina a while ago, would love to have it on my Steam Account aswell, is it possible to get an Steam Key?
Just a heads up, game is no longer Mac compatible. This information is on the Steam page where they've removed the Mac download but not here (where I bought the game before checking Steam, LOL! xD) so buyer beware.
Hey! Is it still possible to request a Steam key after purchasing the itch.io version? I'd love to have it on Steam instead of itch since F&H is not available on German Steam :')
The creator stopped reading comments here because people kept begging and half of you beggars where just scammers trying to get free keys to sell. You won't get anything here stop asking.
Ignore them, if you need a key I believe if you buy the game and go to the bottom of the main page, there is a link that says 'contact us' and then you can see 'contact the developers'. there you can contact them for the key :3
How can you play this game in borderless fullscreen? I cant buy it on steam so I just have the files from here but if I start the game its only playable in window-mode and I can see the borders and task-bar etc.
I already commented on the other game, but same applies here. Absolutely amazing and even more difficult. Go for all S endings if you want to feel pain like no other.
That's just rude and stupid. It's not oranges fault that the game isn't availible in Germany and it is generous enough that oranges offers an alternative via itch. Don't misunderstand me i'm also not happy that i can't play the game on steam, but i know that's not oranges fault.
They literally give out keys to those who ask, and age blockers are much stronger on steam in germany than in america, its not oranges fault. get a verified account ig
So uhhhh for all the Germans who keep begging for a steam key… you know you can add the Itch.io version to your steam library right? just open steam, click on the “games” tab on the top, and then select “add a non-steam game to my library”. Presto, you now have pretty much all the benefits of the steam version. That simple.
i think its a zip file at first. just rightclick and extract on desktop. After that inside the Folder you just click on the Application file called "Game". I'd create a Shortcut to the Desktop and rename it.
Why is that the Germans want to play this game on steam specifically? makes no difference on itch.io , it just makes it look like they are trying to get a free steam key because they are so smart to ask Organe to give them a free key because they are so "Special" and they should be given a key for this game for free for no reason and just because its not beng sold on steam. it just kills the community/
What Account Loss? You don't need an Account or a Launcher for Fear & Hunger. You can just play it. Usually people get upset at Launchers, why do you want one so badly?
Nah, why should you get the luxury of having it on an good launcher, having game time tracked while being able to collect Achievments, while wie don’t? Thats some dumb logic of yours, ngl. You probably are some hella privileged kid the way you’re talking
maybe, just maybe, the busy developer of a popular game is more active on a social media site than a game site because it takes up less of his time? not to mention the creator literally posted an easier way for people to contact him. also the 300+ people is to be expected with popular games, especially if its blocked in some areas.

I also have this Problem on Windos Version
hey, got a fix?
same problem
The other problem you'll encounter if you can get the game to run is you cannot save your game progress. I tried awhile back to fix that and could not find a solution.
Hey, guys!
Found this game a while ago, and I absolutely love it!
I hope you don't mind if I drop off some Memes I made for this game here.
Hey Orange,

Nota media qué le doy a Fear & Hunger: 8.7/10
Does anyone have an update on the steamkeys for the germans in the house???
English to Spanish Translator here! I'd like to translate the game if you are interested.
You can contact me on: lacristinaura.translator@gmail.com

thank you
Has he contacted you in the meantime?
I'm in the same situation.
No, sadly. I managed to make my own quick path and added an icon from google images. Already finished the game twice, one time with D'arce ascending to godhood and the other time with Le'garde ascending to be the yellow King, love this game.

Never thought that pixel game can be scary
Xbox Controller shift option??

I have the same problem :/
Seems like an issue with built-in Archive Utility not properly unzipping the file (https://superuser.com/questions/1345755/how-to-fix-the-application-cant-be-opene...)
Try using The Unarchiver. Right clicking the downloaded file`Fear & Hunger_MAC`, and selecting `The Unarchiver` worked for me.
Hi there, I don't know why but my Mac won't give me the option to "Open With". I have The Unarchiver but it doesn't show. Do you, by any chance, know why?
hey flyingscarf. Sorry, I'm not sure what might be causing that issue.

Hello orange,
i am too a player from germany and i want to have this wonderfull game on steam.
I bought it also on this website.
My steam name is: IwanPlayz
Steam ID: 76561198350625601
Friendcode: 390359873
To all the Germans that comment here and all the haters that dont like it. Heres what orange/miro stated on his page a while ago :
Soooo... no comment, but email instead? Got it.
You sure that'll work tho? Havent gotten a response yet.
Hast schon was bekommen?
Nope, hab ihm die E-Mail so 1 Tag vor Verfassung des Kommentars geschrieben, aber noch nix bekommen.
Aber der Kommentar von dem Atzen über mir, der meint man soll'ne Email schreiben ist ja auch erst 3 Tage alt, also sollt's ja relativ aktuell sein.
Vielleicht checkt der Guy nur so 1 mal die Woche seine Mails, oder braucht einfach'n bisschen länger oder macht grad'ne kleine Pause oder so.
Keine Ahnung, ich bleib hopeful.
(Hoffentlich gibt's kein Bann für falsche Sprache >_>)
Alles klar, hab ihm auch ne Mail geschrieben mal schauen was jetzt passiert. Wenn hart auf hart einfach refunden und probieren es als steam Geschenk zu kaufen.
brauchst nicht zu warten, habe im Oktober nh Mail geschrieben und stand heute keine Antwort
Hab ich schon versucht. Soweit ich weiß ist die einzige möglichkeit deinen Steam Shop mit VPN auf ne neue Location zu setzen und per Kreditkarte (oder eine andere gültige Zahlungsart in Amerika) zu bezahlen. Aber soweit ich das mitbekommen habe kann dein Steam Account dafür gebannt werden also genieße es mit Vorsicht.

PS: Ich habe auch noch keine Antwort auf meine Email bekommen
hat irgend wer schon mal ne antwort erhalten ?
Leider net und hab denen ne Mail am 16.01 geschickt

hey! if this is for Mac, i had a similar issue and posted a solution https://itch.io/post/9388013
hope it works for you too
Another poor german soul looking for a steam key.
I love your work!
Hello, im also from Germany and bought Fear&Hunger and Termina a while ago, would love to have it on my Steam Account aswell, is it possible to get an Steam Key?
Thanks for the Awesome Games!
Hello, I am from Germany. I finally was able to buy your Game today.
I would also like to ask for an Steam Key since Germany has Fear and Hunger not in the Steam Shop.
i honestly feel bad that germans can't play this game
Dont be, we can buy it here like everybody else.
okay nevermind
Quite right, many of us have been here since the beginning.
How to play Linux version on Steam Deck Desktop mode???
I downloaded: "Fear & Hunger_LINUX.zip"
I extracted the zip, and run "Game", nothing happens.
I run "Game.desktop" nothing happens.
Just a heads up, game is no longer Mac compatible. This information is on the Steam page where they've removed the Mac download but not here (where I bought the game before checking Steam, LOL! xD) so buyer beware.
oh no, I should have read the comments. literally just bought the game and now I can't play it :((
God damn, I just did this too.
got it working on mac but wont let me save the game
Download stops between 70-80%. i tried different browser and anything but it still wont download
Hey! Is it still possible to request a Steam key after purchasing the itch.io version? I'd love to have it on Steam instead of itch since F&H is not available on German Steam :')
no it's not and stop fucking asking
The creator stopped reading comments here because people kept begging and half of you beggars where just scammers trying to get free keys to sell. You won't get anything here stop asking.
Ignore them, if you need a key I believe if you buy the game and go to the bottom of the main page, there is a link that says 'contact us' and then you can see 'contact the developers'. there you can contact them for the key :3
is there a way to contact the developer ?
the discord?
if you buy the game and go to the bottom of the main page, there is a link that says 'contact us' and then you can see 'contact the developers'.
很遗憾,在中国没有方便的支付方式让我体验这款游戏。为此,我从Steam注册了一个香港账号来购买这款游戏,因为这款游戏的美术风格和音乐实在是太难得了。但该帐户名誉扫地
How can you play this game in borderless fullscreen? I cant buy it on steam so I just have the files from here but if I start the game its only playable in window-mode and I can see the borders and task-bar etc.
is it possible to get a steam key so I can play it on fullscreen? I also bought it here so I really do not want a free key I just need fullscreen xd
Press f4 for full screen
One of the best games i ever played
Isit required/recommended to play this one first or can I just jump to Fear n Hunger termina?
You can jump to F&H Termina. Although there are a few callbacks to this game, no knowledge of F&H 1 is required.
Thank you!!
I already commented on the other game, but same applies here. Absolutely amazing and even more difficult. Go for all S endings if you want to feel pain like no other.
really sad to see that orange gives a fuck about german fans. fuck you. guess i pirate the shit out of your games now
That's just rude and stupid. It's not oranges fault that the game isn't availible in Germany and it is generous enough that oranges offers an alternative via itch. Don't misunderstand me i'm also not happy that i can't play the game on steam, but i know that's not oranges fault.
They literally give out keys to those who ask, and age blockers are much stronger on steam in germany than in america, its not oranges fault. get a verified account ig
unfortunately I wasn´t able to make th app run on Mac. It says i have no access rights to it. I tried everything but still wont work :(
Have you tried running it as Admin?
So uhhhh for all the Germans who keep begging for a steam key… you know you can add the Itch.io version to your steam library right? just open steam, click on the “games” tab on the top, and then select “add a non-steam game to my library”. Presto, you now have pretty much all the benefits of the steam version. That simple.
You can do that with every application fellow German. There is still a diffrence, like the community, updates etc.
how do you open the game after the purchase? i just got it and now i have just the folder with the data and cant rlly open it
i think its a zip file at first. just rightclick and extract on desktop. After that inside the Folder you just click on the Application file called "Game". I'd create a Shortcut to the Desktop and rename it.
Why do you recieve a negative point, you're right
Why is that the Germans want to play this game on steam specifically? makes no difference on itch.io , it just makes it look like they are trying to get a free steam key because they are so smart to ask Organe to give them a free key because they are so "Special" and they should be given a key for this game for free for no reason and just because its not beng sold on steam. it just kills the community/
Game time tracking, achievments, better security in case of an account loss. Should i go on or are those reasons enough?
What Account Loss? You don't need an Account or a Launcher for Fear & Hunger. You can just play it. Usually people get upset at Launchers, why do you want one so badly?
what, you guys have achievments?
Maybe to play it on the Steam Deck....
its actually possible to install the game in desktop mode, along with an emulator so you can run the game (works for termina as well)
https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/how-to-install-non-steam-games-o...
Have a link to the guide, its actually not a nightmare to deal with
Can you Germans shut the Fuck up?
You ruined your chances of the getting a keys as soon as there were over 300 of you.
Orange doesn't even read itch.io Comments anymore because of you Guys. He only responds to people on Twitter now.
What the Fuck do you want us to do?
We simply can’t buy the game on steam so we need to find other ways to get them.
To avoid this he could simply sell steam keys in germany, easier said then done (obviously nothing against the programmer, but rather against you)
What i want you to do is Shut up and play the Game. Be grateful you can buy and play it at all on here.
Nah, why should you get the luxury of having it on an good launcher, having game time tracked while being able to collect Achievments, while wie don’t? Thats some dumb logic of yours, ngl. You probably are some hella privileged kid the way you’re talking
Complaining about not having it on Steam when you can just play the game really shows how unprivileged you are ^^
i know right? Steam might be on the of best launchers. but getting to play a game just like that without needing one. Its way better.
I remember i stopped play Southpark Fractured butthole. because its awful launcher kept preventing me from turning the game on. i think it was Uplay.
its just better quality. also you mean 'privileged', not 'unprivileged'. if the creator is uncomfortable, he should make a post saying so.
maybe, just maybe, the busy developer of a popular game is more active on a social media site than a game site because it takes up less of his time? not to mention the creator literally posted an easier way for people to contact him. also the 300+ people is to be expected with popular games, especially if its blocked in some areas.
