- Just in time for Halloween here is my thoughts on Fear and Hunger on Steam and itch.io. Can't necessarily say I recommend this game to just anyone... it's undoubtedly the most disturbing and terrifying game I've played in over a decade.

Can turn based games be scary?
XD Thanks for reminding me of my childhood nightmare about the monster beyond the darkness of the slightly open door...
Haha happy i wasn't the only one
Yes, definitely. The RPG/survival horror hybrid game Sweet Home on the Famicom was considered one of the scariest games ever made for many years and it was also the biggest influence on the creation of Resident Evil.
@@ophidianmind333 I’m so fascinated by that game. I’m currently playing Koudelka but I’d love to eventually try Sweet Home. It looks eerie
Nothing is scarier than Alan Wake 2 PC system requirements
Can't be worse than starfield. Alan 2 at least looks pretty when you somehow meet the requirements.
I consider the Fear & Hunger series to be one of the best things in gaming, it's up there close to SMT and Blasphemous when it comes to my biggest gaming obsessions. Fear & Hunger 2: Termina is also a must-play, the mechanics of the series are better realized in that game. While it is more forgiving than the first game in some ways and has a reputation for being easier because of this, it doesn't lose any of the horror element and it is also more challenging in some ways, there are some enemies and bosses that are more difficult than in the first game. For example, there are more bosses where you will instantly lose the fight instead of just taking a lot of damage if you lose a coin flip during the battle and there are more enemies that use mind control attacks that turn your party members against you. While it is easier to restore lost limbs in the second game, it also seems easier to lose limbs as well.
For those who like the Fear & Hunger series, I strongly recommend checking out The 7th Circle: Endless Nightmare and Inferno: Beyond the 7th Circle. Those are also brutally hard survival horror dungeon crawlers, but they play from a 1st person perspective with an interface similar to the Eye of the Beholder games. In these games you fill face powerful enemies, it is difficult to refill HP and MP, and resting comes with the risk of being ambushed in your sleep, so you will have to evaluate risk and reward in choosing when to fight and when to attempt to flee. Dealing with hunger and preventing status effects from becoming fatal are also a major part of the gameplay in this series.
Thank you so much for putting these games on my radar. Truly never played anything like them before and I have got to try the 7th circle series. They sound eerie lol. I’m excited and nervous to try Termina someday. But truly Fear & Hunger is one for the history books
3 games that absolutely made me shit my pants for different reasons.
Fear and Hunger, the idea and context of everything. The fear of encounters and starving. Losing progress. Termina is more of the decisions that come along with your choices. As a DM for D&D fear and hunger, and the way its written is very well done.
2) Darkwood. The noise, and ambience. Holy shit. Flew out my seat a couple times. 😂
3) Amnesia The Bunker.
The other amnesia games had scary moments, and tense moments. This whole game rides that intensity, that even the flash light making noise. Made my skin on edge. Not to mention if you have a headphone amp. I can hear the rats in the walls. 😂
Oooo i need to checkout Darkwood, thanks for sharing!
@@HallowedBeThyGame absolutely! Would love to see your take on it!
This game accomplishes horror in every metric possible.
-Jumpscares
-Graphical horror
-Prior horror traumatic experience on what could possibly happen to you later. Heck even stuff that wasn't supposed to be scary started scaring me like large rolling iron balls
-Possible death can lead to more horror.
-Even after you're done playing you are scared yet you want to play and haunted/addicted to it.
-Causes existential crisis
-How it makes you scared by your gamer senses
-The music/sound alone can scare you.
Where I agree it’s very scary, I do feel Darkwood is the scariest game I’ve ever played. It’s legitimately terrifying. F & H is right up there with it, but for me it’s just utterly oppressive and harrowing, and so far nothing has dethroned Darkwood.
Well I guess I'm not sleeping tonight 😮

I heard about this video game from a close friend last month and it definitely creeped me out while also simultaneously fascinating me to no end.
I have not yet played this game (I do not have a PC 😞) but in my wanting to learn more about this game I have inadvertently stumbled upon minor spoilers in my readings that I would rather have not known so as to experience the shock when things first happen. Which leads me to say: I felt extremely chilled when the prison guard noticed you and you trapped yourself in a room when trying to run away... 😬😰😰😰
I'll be honest, this was one of the best videos on a game that I've ever seen. I am convinced and already purchased the game within a minute of watching this video. Horror games are easily one of my favorite genres and I'm so excited to delve into the terror of Fear and Hunger. Thank you for the continued phenomenal content you upload, your channel has quickly become one of my favorites out there as you have such a great variety of games you talk about.
Gosh thank you so much! So happy you enjoy the variety!
lol "im so sad i already know everything fear & hunger related" some guy's comment i cannot remember from who or where but omg yesss
Haha glad you like the "side character in Berserk" description of the game too
I always describe it that way when telling someone about it
Though i usually say something like "its Berserk, but instead of playing as Guts, you're just some guy"
Haha exactly it's so true too
Holy hell this game looks intense. It's like a way beefier and crazier Sweet Home... One of my favorite horror turn based RPGs. It's only $3.99 on steam right now... I'm apprehensive, as I usually don't play super gory, intense horror games, however I think I'm gonna grab this and give it a shot. Amazing video and review. Perfect for my favorite time of year!
Thanks so much! Yeah just another hefty warning that this game is adult rated for very definite reasons. As great as it is and terrifying as it is, it’s as violent and intense as Berserk
@@HallowedBeThyGame I've never watched Berzerk, but judging by your description, it's pretty intense!
All I'm going to say is if you sleep with your bedroom door open, you are sleeping wrong.
Haha I agree! 🤣
I used to but NOT ANYMORE.
Excellent find! Perfect pick for that new Steamdeck Oled model.
I've never heard of this game, thanks!
Hope you enjoy!
Ayo I just finished my first run of it last night. It's so great!
Congrats and yeah it's wild
I have this downloaded ready to just need to find time to actually play it and I agree the themes and storytelling in Turnbased games can invoke a true sense of fear or horror
You have to let me know what ya think when ya play it!
I'd heard of this game on a video called 'the game that hates you'd yeah - it sounded disturbing!
Thanks for reminding me!
No problem! It's pretty spooky lol
I play this game on my channel sometime. Its quite brilliant if you can get through the brutal learning curve and disturbing content.
Definelty an interesting one! And i can agree with turn based games being scary, i believe any type of game could be scary if you use the right elements!
Woah! This game actually looks super awesome. I would love to check it out but I never play PC games...maybe if I got a Steam Deck one day...hehe
It’s really intense and unique but very disturbing at times. I’d love to hear what ya get if you pick up a steam deck!
I have heard quite a bit about this game, nearly all of it positive. Surprised but pleased to see it pop up here!
Hey thanks for checking out the video. yeah a bit of a curve ball for the channel but thought turn based fans might enjoy it for halloween haha.
ahhh i just got done getting all the endings that aren’t s…. pray for me
Oooof goodluck!
My stomach fears hunger LOL. Never played a horror RPG but I would try this.
Haha I would LOVE to see a video of your reaction to this game
Sounds like a very scary game! I think I might add it to my wishlist on Steam!
Hope ya have as much fun as possible with it haha
Dope video
Thanks man!
Where do i download this from?
Steam
Cool I guess? Youre like 5 years too late here.
And?
@@HallowedBeThyGame There's already a sequel and everything. Youre so late to the party it's not even funny.
@@jowston100 it’s weird you’re always so tilted in the comments. Find some TH-cam channels you enjoy even if it’s someone else’s.
Is a game not relevant to you unless it is a new release? While Fear & Hunger has built up a small cult fanbase over the years, its fanbase is tiny even by the standards of cult games. So wouldn't giving it more exposure be a good thing? If more people play this game and its sequel, then it will greatly increase the chance that a Fear & Hunger 3 will exist some time in the future. An attitude like yours would probably piss off developers and publishers if they saw your comments because you are essentially criticizing someone for giving their games more exposure that they need to be more successful in sales.
I have. Your channel sucks. I am actually trying to remember why I even subbed it. @@HallowedBeThyGame
Great video,thanks for the info! Gonna d/l now!
