A PvPvE first-person horror extraction shooter & slasher — set in a Napoleonic Europe devoured by a plague called the Bacterium.
HUNGER is a PvPvE first-person horror extraction shooter and slasher with RPG progression elements, developed and published by Good Fun Corporation. You mount expeditions into a hostile, plague-ravaged world — fighting the infected, the environment, and rival players — then try to extract alive with your loot.
Genre and premise are drawn from the developer's public description; no further specifics are confirmed yet.
The game takes place in an alternate-history Napoleonic-era Europe devastated by a zombie plague known as "the Bacterium". Players venture out into this plague-ravaged world on expeditions, facing the infected and rival survivors alike.
Faction names, characters, named locations, and quotes: TBA / not yet announced.
What the official pre-alpha "Extended Expedition" gameplay trailer actually shows (confirmed), plus what's still unannounced (TBA).
Drop into an expedition, scavenge, and get out alive with your haul. In the trailer, squads grab armor, a gold key, and a blood bag, and check medical carts and chests.
You face the infected and rival player teams at the same time. Trailer squads call out enemy teams, push compounds, and revive each other ("Can you help me?").
Fights center on compounds with doors you open and close to control angles — plus a quarry and raised platforms. Defensible play, not open field.
You patch up mid-run — players are heard repairing and restoring armor during fights.
The developer cites RPG progression elements; specific classes, skill trees, and weapon builds are TBA.
As an extraction shooter, carried gear is on the line — but HUNGER's exact death penalty isn't officially detailed yet (TBA).
