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
hello and guten tag next german on the line, i rly want the steam version,
Friendcode:
1195246396
Updated Version here - https://files.catbox.moe/9ftfg0.zip
Hi, I am another fan of yours from Germany and I would like to kindly ask you, if you could please provide me with a Steam version of the game :)
My Steam friend code is: 348164221
Wish this game was on steam
it is..
So we can keep this but not mouthwashing
So this game is back up?
Was this ever down?
I have seen literal screenshots of this game put down from search results on itch. Maybe they did not want the backlash?
maybe, i can only acess it with the link, but that is not new for me, a lot of games only show if you really search, IDN if it's a bug, but...
Can't people in Germany create a secondary US account and gift themselves the game from that account? On steam
No, if a game is restricted in the county of the person you want to gift it to, the process will be blocked.
Ahh gotcha, thanks for the clarification
there is an way u first have to make an account on steam that can buy the game buy it then u have to change ur region to germany by buying something from the steam store (i just bought something really cheap) and then send that account a family invite to your steam family and login to that account and accept the steam family invite (i live in germany thats how i did it)
i legitimately hope miro ignores 100% of the german comments
Why
The person you're talking to is just being a xenophobic troll towards German gamers just because they (the gamers) are requesting Steam codes of this game since they can't legally purchase it there.
Hey, I know you've gotten a lot of requests like this, but please bear with me. I'm from Germany too, so i'd like to ask for a steam key. My Friend Code is 46415956. Thank you in advance!
Hey, Orange!
I hate to inform you about this, but Fear & Hunger is in danger of being pulled from sale thanks to all the censorship BS courtesy of Collective Shout that's brainwashing credit card companies and PayPal.
it’s not, you can still buy it from steam. Also you can still buy it from here, they simply delisted all the adult games on itch and are going to manually approve them from now on. Still, yeah it might be negatively impacted but I doubt such a popular game will be pulled.
You can not buy the game on Steam if you are from Germany tho :P, suddenly the mass of germans asking for a Steam key is a lot more justfied, which makes me wonder why you even posted your comment yesterday.
However, I also think this has become too big for itch to even consider to remove it.
Dude really that pressed over my comment. Anyway Germans suck and are annoying.
Xenophobe, much? You're being blocked.
This person is very ignorant and fast to accuse people/ uneducated nobody listen to them
I want to reiterate because I can’t reply to the other dude, that this is not a porn game. Just because a game has sexual themes in it does not mean it’s a porn game. It’s like saying Berserk is Hentai. That would mean every film with a sex scene or that deals with sexual trauma is porn - this is not only untrue it’s also damaging toward the idea of exploring dark themes within media. If you find gratification from the objectively evil acts committed in this game you need help.
My boy you just decided to insult an entire nationality because of comments, I'm clearly not the one being pressed over a comment here.
If you want to discuss the game so badly, you need to go to reddit or steam forums because if you like it or not the comments from Germans asking for a steam key are gonna keep coming.
Even though the dev has not done this in a long time, back then before F&H got popular he actually sent keys to individuals who requested them so it's kinda his own fault for never making a public statement saying that due to the games popularity he won't give them out anymore.
I'm not from Germany, though I got the game from Steam 2 years ago without any issue.
But yeah, I can see why there's a huge volume of German gamers requesting a Steam code. So I don't blame them.
> Also you can still buy it from here
Don't! There is a risk the developer won't receive the funds for games that might violate the payment operator rules.
Random Australian feminists have nothing to do with it, they are convenient scapegoats at best. It's 100% because of payment processors that want to dictate morality for the world
That's what I meant, anyway.
I don’t understand why you Germans are so obsessed with playing the game on Steam. Stop being so subservient - surely you can just happily play via download from itch. Is it really that important to you that you have to launch it from Steam? Has Gabe got a shackle around your neck? Does your whole nation have OCD? It’s weird and annoying that the discussion for this game is full of pathetic begging.
The discussion is full of people who, upon request from Miro, are letting them know that they purchased the game and would like a Steam copy, since they cannot download the game in their country via Itch.io due to Germany's extremely hamfisted censorship laws — this means, in order for people who have paid for the game to be able to play it, Miro is going above and beyond and supplying German players with a Steam Key for the game.
If you have already purchased and can buy the game, and have it downloaded, then I would say that the person being pathetic here is you, complaining about what other people are doing on the itch page, that the game's creator said to do.
The fact that you are so angry and annoyed about it is honestly childish, like there aren't plenty of other places to discuss the game. Rude, shameful, and obnoxious.
Dude, they literally can't download it legally ( by purchasing it) from itch or steam, if they pay for it here and then ask for a steam key they can play it on steam by going around the policy against purchase. It takes 5 minutes to figure this out and quite frankly, the fact you're being such an ass about this is more telling about your character than it could ever be about theirs.
too bad don’t live in such a totalitarian country then lmao
Better than living in a country ran by a pedo apologist. Making the bold assumption you're in the states
nah I’d kms if that was the case
you would fit perfectly in 1940's germany, with your kind of attitude. Seriously, chill dude and stop insulting people because of their nationality, no place for nazi-shit here
Now this has gotten interesting...
ive downloaded the game on mac and its not opening :c
Dear Orange,
here is yet another player from Germany, and just like the others, I too wanted to ask if it's possible to receive a Steam key for the game(s) (I purchased both and thought to just make one comment). My friend code is: 244230971
Now for something more worthy of a comment, I absolutely love your games, in a weird sadistic way that they can be loved. I enjoy the difficulty you provide. The artstyle and music also perfectly accompany the deep and interesting lore you have created.
you people are a fucking plague
Dude, there is no other way to get the game legitimatly in germany, why do you have to be such an asshole about it? And I even used the comment to give praise to the game. I just want to be able to have everything in one place.
Can’t you just play it via the download? What is so important about playing it from Steam?
No, Fear and Hunger cannot be purchased or otherwise obtained legally through those channels, nor is it downloadable via Itch.io's site in Germany, as a result of F&H being placed on one of the Listes of banned games — specifically, Liste A, which means that it is hidden from any IP that is trying to obtain it via the Steam Store or downloading from Itch.io.
With a game CD Key, these fine folks, who likely have already paid for the game, can enjoy the game without needing to interact with Steam Store, and thus, be able to enjoy the game.
It took me five minutes to figure this out, it takes zero time to not be an asshole, especially when it involves international censorship laws (doubly so when it comes to Germany, they ban or censor basically everything).
Hey Miro, guy from germany here, like the others I want to kindly ask for a steam key, my friend code is: 81854272.
But it's important to me to also say that your series has grown to one of my absolute favorites over the last two years. I love your art, music and the lore you created is nothing short of astonishing. I have been thinking about your characters near daily for the last year, and I'm just mesmerised how you managed to create such a depth for them.
Dear Orange,
her is another future player from Germany.
Would you please give me a Steam Key for Fear and Hunger which I just bought? Thanks a lot and have a good day.

Finally carving out time to dive into Fear & Hunger. Heard it’s brutal in the best way possible, and I’m totally here for it.
