Fear & Hunger is not your typical RPG. It's a haunting blend of survival horror and dungeon crawler, set in a world where gods are at war and death is often a blessing. In this mobile adaptation of the cult-hit PC game, you’ll explore the oppressive catacombs of a forgotten fortress—an ancient nexus of multiple realities—and uncover dark secrets while trying to survive the many unspeakable horrors that dwell within.
With gameplay that draws inspiration from Silent Hill, Nethack, and classic j-RPGs, Fear & Hunger offers a tense, atmospheric experience where every decision could mean life—or a particularly gruesome death.
Brutal Turn-Based Combat with Dismemberment
Combat is turn-based, but with a unique twist: you can target enemy limbs for strategic dismemberment. Removing an arm might prevent an enemy from attacking, but don’t get too comfortable—enemies can do the same to you. Each encounter is high-stakes and demands careful planning and fast decision-making.
Choose from Four Distinct Classes
Begin your journey by choosing one of four adventurers—Mercenary, Knight, Dark Priest, or Outlander—each with a unique background, skillset, and motivation. As you delve deeper, you’ll have the chance to recruit others you meet, but survival is never guaranteed.
A Dungeon That Hates You
The dungeons are not just dark—they are cruel. Death comes quickly and often, and it’s not unusual for a playthrough to end within minutes. Battles offer no XP or loot. Instead, the game challenges you to avoid conflict and use cunning, stealth, or diplomacy when possible.
A Deep, Morally Complex World
Beyond the violence and horror, Fear & Hunger offers deep world-building and narrative complexity. Each adventurer’s story ties into the world’s larger mysteries. With nine possible endings—some personal, others cosmic—you’ll need to read, explore, and engage with every element to fully uncover the game’s lore.
Randomized Layouts and Events
No two runs are alike. With randomized enemy placement, dungeon layouts, events, and loot, every playthrough brings fresh terror. This roguelike design keeps things unpredictable and encourages players to experiment with different strategies and party combinations.
Unique Aesthetic and Sound Design
The game’s pixel art meets digital painting style enhances the feeling of dread, while the original ambient soundtrack creates a truly disturbing atmosphere. Every visual and audio detail contributes to the feeling of dread and immersion.
