Fear & Hunger is a very special game. Everything, from it's themes to it's gameplay is utterly soul crushing which is what makes it so special. The game has zero respect for the player but still has you coming back to see what lies deeper in the dungeon. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before and the fact that a game like this was made in RPG Maker makes it even more impressive. There are still a few issues with the game though, some of the obstacles that have to be overcome can be more frustrating and annoying than challenging (the torch mechanics in the harder difficulties come to mind) and there's a substantial amount of bugs present within the game. The gamepad support could be improved too. Other than those issues this game is fantastic. There's a ton of replay value too, with it's four player characters and multiple endings.
