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,
I read that you can get a steamkey, the game is sadly not available in germany. The game keeps crashing on my PC and I hope that i won´t run into that problem on the Steamversion.
Hello!
I live in Germany and would also like to request a Steam key. Just bought the Game here.
Sorry to bother you about this.
hey orange I buyed yesterday fear and hunger. I love the game and would like to play it on steam. I live in Germany and in steam store says that the product is not available in my country. Can I pls have a steam key ? If I finished with the first part I buy the second save ! Keep up the good work!:)

Hi, I just bought this game and I would like to ask if I could have the steam key of it so that I can add it to my steam library. I would very appreciate it.
Hello, I recently purchased this game as a gift for a friend. However, despite downloading the Mac version, he cannot get it to run on his Mac. At first it simply said it cannot be opened, then later told him that it was because it was from an unknown developer. Tinkering with security settings doesn't seem to allow him to run it either. Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.
Hey I bought this game just now but i really would like to add it to my steam library. Which isnt possible cause i live in Austria. I would be very happy if i could get one. Greetings
I bought the game a while ago and i hope its not to annyoing for me to ask for an steam key cause i live in germany :(
Hello, I bought this game quite some time ago on here and played through it multiple times. I just recently wanted to add it to my steam library to get the achievements. Which isnt possible because I live in Germany. It would be very nice if I could get a steam key. Greetings

Verstehe dich Deutschland und seine zensur von Spielen geht mir auch auf den geist
Hi, my dude, I bought the game but when I run it it says "The program cannot run correctly 0xc0000906". What`s the problem?
Oh, so now it functions ((((:
And another one.
Another Funger x FNAF shitpost
Hey , I would love to buy fear & hunger and Termina for steam but im not able to because i live in germany. Is there maybe a workaround?
oh, it's censored? i think the only option you have is to have someone inf your friendliest from a different country, who gifts it to you.
I can tell you in Austria, it's Available xD
Hi, I bought the game, I heard that if I send you the purchase proof you can send me the steam key, is this true? And.. how can I send that to you? Thanks
Send dudes

Hello I hope you can help me, I've downloaded it for linux, and upon executing the game it turned out it needs libgconf, after looking for the gconf package it turns out that most software that use it inherit that from chromium and haven't needed it in years, so I wanted to ask if it is necessary for the game to work because at least on arch the process of installing gconf is very convoluted and kinda confusing.
Use the windows version and use proton. works better than installing a old lib
I, being English (UK) and using windows, did not know so many had problems running the game. The only times i ran into region locking was when running several unofficial translations for Japanese games. (Japan and China love region locking games) I always get original releases cuz I hate steam Forcing PC users into a Monopoly where games dont exist unless they cooperate with steam (Plus, they always censor games and Visual novels)...
It's like, Watching the Titanic where Leo and Kate play a long lost brother and sister pair. Then they end up arm wrestling on the car and taking a photo together instead of the painting scene.
To run games from other countries i used an Asian Locale Emulator.
However this is a popular one that should allow a list of countries if you set up the profile for it's country of origin.
https://xupefei.github.io/Locale-Emulator/
While i cannot help much with the translations, unless making a Russian Edition, if the creator can provide the raw text files, with a reversible guide on how to extract the text files that can be flipped to put them back. Would that be enough to start the process?
I can take a look at the files and see what i can come up with.
Assuming the creator does not object.
What i can do is, I do sound effects work with a studio which mainly does dubbing of videos and games, especially into other languages (They do not translate at the moment ).
As a proof on concept I can select a character route and a voice actor, then try to dub his spoken lines into audible speech.
If such a thing can gain support, i can provide a video showing the concept, and potentially consider doing so for the full game...
As ive been considering my next writing project to be a script for an animated series based on Terminus.
one question i bought the game but when i start it, it only shows "demo version V". I though i bought the whole game
The demo doesn't work on my sonoma 14.5 macos :(:(:(
Why is this game $8 here when it's free on its actual site ?
what's the website?
here it is https://fearandhunger.net/
That's most likely a pirate website or a scam website, you may want to report it to the creator.
You have a higher chance of reaching him on twitter than here.
Hi! Is it possible for you to sell a Steam key? The game is unfortunately region-locked and I'm unable to buy it...
kind regards
I ended up having one more idea for a very short Meme.
Hay i would like to Translate the Game into German
I never did something like this befor so im not 100% sure what im doing.
I am here to ask if someone can tell me what i need to Translate in the files.
And maybe someone that is interessted in helping me with the complete Translation.
w bro hoffe du schaffst das
Hi, nice Idee
Ich schau mir später mal die GameFiles an, evtl kann ich helfen
Also ist nur meine Einschätzung beim durchstöbern & ich bin auf dem Gebiet selbst nicht wirklich erfahren muss ich dazu sagen
Aber es dürften wohl sämtliche json files im Fear & Hunger_WIN\www\data Verzeichnis sein
Die Textauszüge die in Anführungszeichen stehen
Allerdings gibt es auch parts in Anführungszeichen die vermutlich auf ein Objekt verweisen
Sorry, die Seite lässt mich die Bsp Bilder nicht einfügen :D
Hay
Danke für die Rückmeldung
Hab jetzt mal die dateien von der Portugisischen übersetzung überflogen .... hätte ich eigentlich schon lange mal machen sollen dann wäre ich jetzt schon weiter. @Silv3rs sehe ich dass richtig das die ersten 2 files Actors und Animations nix zum verändern drin haben? Nur wenn du lust und zeit hast sie mal zu überfliegen :)
bei animations sieht es für mich auf den ersten blick wirklich so aus
bei actors bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob die names, (stehen relativ weit hinten in den Zeilen) irgendwo angezeigt werden.
Als Bsp in der ersten Zeile:
{"id":1,"battlerName":"Actor1_1","characterIndex":0,"characterName":"mercenary","classId":1,"equips":[44,0,0,1,0],"faceIndex":0,"faceName":"Actor1","traits":[{"code":13,"dataId":3,"value":1}],"initialLevel":2,"maxLevel":97,
"name":"Mercenary" <------
,"nickname":"","note":"","profile":""},
Kannst eigentlich erstmal auslassen und falls das die namen sind, die ingame angezeigt werden, wirst es ja schnell merken ^^
@Silv3rs
Habs gestern mal geändert und in der spanischen übersetzung geschaut wurde nichts übersetzt
Andere frage wäre es für dich oke wenn wir über discord kontakt aufnehmen? Wenn ja mein tag wäre adriannatsu
Hey, sorry für die späte meldung. hab ne weile nich reingeschaut. Falls du noch hilfe bei irgendwas brauchst: Hab dich gerade geaddet - silvers141
Jo, ich denke mal du machst das ganze an nem Windows-Gerät? Ich arbeite momentan an einer deutschen Übersetzung zum zweiten Teil Termina, das kostenlose Programm Translator++ ist dafür perfekt. Du wählst den Dateipfad vom Spiel aus, bekommst alle Texte rausgesucht und kannst das ganze mit einem einzigen Klick in eine teilbare Mod umwandeln.
Auf dem offiziellen Discord gibt es noch einige weitere, die in die verschiedensten Sprachen übersetzen, da findest du am besten Hilfe oder Antworten :)
Hay!
Danke für die Infos habe mich mit einem Spanischen übersetzer connected und der hat mir das gleiche gesagt.
Habs auch schon heruntergeladen und bin schon fleissig am Übersetzen.
Trotzdem danke für die Infos!!!
What's with all the spam in the comments
Anyone know, how to change the language?
There is no way, this is an only english game
Hey Orange i bought the game couple minutes ago, the game always crashes after some steps random and the character cant move how can i fix it
Same here on Windows
hat jemanden von euch das game schon geholt?? Wenn ja hattet ihr Probleme mit dem Stream key??
Ja wir haben keinen bekommen. xD
Keine Steam keys für deutsche Spieler, sorry.
In Deutschland ist Steam zensiert, du musst es hier auf Itch kaufen, oder auf alternative Seiten zugreifen
Aaaand another meme!
This will be the last one for now, I ran out of ideas.
Hey Orange, i freaking love this game, and i think you are a great artist, but if your game it's not ready for IOS, work on it and try to not scam us, thank you.
In any case, now i can start the game (after some crashes), but i can't save the game... in two different macbooks!
For all Germans still asking for Keys
Eine Werbung hat mich gerettet, also werde ich nach guter, alter, deutscher Manier sagen: SPRICH DEUTSCH DU H*RENSOHN
god damn it :D
Got more fan content for you guys!
How do you open this on Mac? It says you can't open the application
Same, Mac Sonoma M2
did you find out how to open the game on Mac?
Hey
Not realy shure if you still do this, since the comments are nearly a year old at this point but i too wuld like to have FNH 1&2 in my steam library.
I am from Germany too, if you still do this i wuld like to have a steam key to, if not feel free to ignore this, will still play them.
:Steam ID: Jerico_Eterna/
Friends-code:87744165
Did they do it?
Im German and thinking about about getting them on my steamdeck trough this lol
Same here. I was hesitant to contact them, since I read about the amount of germans contacting him for a Steam key. But playing F&H on my Steamdeck would be amazing
Meme delivery!
(MacOs)
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.
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.
