RPGM - Completed - Fear & Hunger [v1.4.1] [orange~]

I love it, it's hard to win and this dark world is mega exciting. I need so much more of it.

You choose one of four characters, give this or that one a predetermined backstory, and make your way into a dark dungeon only to be injured by a nail in the ground and die from an infection. So it goes many times and learns the game. Deeper and deeper it goes into the dungeon and it gets more perverted and crazy. Decisions have serious consequences and there are many endings for you and your companions.

Let's start by saying that this game has nothing erotic about it, so if you were looking for that, you ended up on the wrong tab. But if looking beyond the non-h is okay with you, then you've found an adventure that I heartily recommend to any gamer with a passion for the challenging, the macabre, and the disturbing. Fear & Hunger is a particular experience, between dungeon crawler, rouge-like and rpg, with a strong emphasis on challenge and difficulty (you've probably heard of it as "the cruelest game ever" or something like that): at the beginning of the adventure we will be able to choose between four different characters/classes, each with its own peculiar abilities and its reasons for descending into this terrible dungeon. And the dungeon is the real protagonist of this game, which, especially in the first few games, will be able to offer great surprises and discoveries, together with a very particular, oppressive and mysterious atmosphere, underlined by perfectly fitting music, right down to its deepest abyss. The multiple endings push you to try each character and are the key to the replayability of this title, which can otherwise be completed in a matter of hours, especially once the basic mechanics have been discovered. To conclude, Fear & Hunger is a particular game, with a unique gameplay that certainly cannot be liked by everyone, with a practically non-existent erotic component (but which can still cause the status, really present, anal bleeding) and a strong emphasis on the exploration and the atmosphere (starting from the simple monstrous, down to the abyss of horrors beyond human comprehension, between Lovecraft and Berserk (hell, there's even Grifis)), which overall I personally really appreciated and recommend to try.

4/5 - Good game; won't play again
~ 7-13 hours long (my winning save file says 7 hours, but it actually took me 13 hours total play time)

First of all, this isn't much of a porn game. The "scenes" are just a few 2 second animations with no descriptions. These animations do not loop over for you to jerk off to, they're literally 2 seconds and done. They are intended to be scary/disturbing, not erotic.
Second, this game should have male protagonist and gay tags added. 3 of the 4 characters you can play as are male, and all can get raped.


Although the description suggests this is a rougelite, saving is possible and only a few of the maps have a random layout (not randomly generated). There are no random encounters, rather enemies roam the map and can be avoided. Combat features a limb targeting system, which adds a strategic layer over the standard attack -> heal RPGM combat. The game is difficult, and there are no tutorials or hand holding - I had to restart a few times before I got a good grasp of the game. There is an optional hard mode for experienced players.

If that description reminds you of a popular game series, that's right. Fear and Hunger is highly inspired by Dark Souls, from the level design to the the story. Actually, inspired is far too generous a word to use, copy or rip-off are more appropriate choices. The punishing difficulty, the sparse save rooms, the lack of hand holding, the way the story is told, the story itself, the locations, and the characters, everything gave me the impression that I was playing 2D Dark Souls. Plot-wise, the only way Fear and Hunger distinguishes itself is with the horror atmosphere, which, admittedly, is well done, especially for a 2D game. If this were a 3D game it might even be scary.


Since Fear and Hunger isn't really a porn game, it should be judged based on how good of a JRPG it is. The game focuses on exploration and atmosphere, which are it's biggest strengths. The combat is well done and keeps the game interesting. The story is there for those who care about it, and isn't forced on those who don't. Overall an enjoyable experience.
However, the lack of originality holds the game back. What at first seems like the product of a vivid imagination slowly got replaced by the realization that I've already played this game before. I'd say if you haven't played any of the Souls games yet, then this game is a 5/5. Otherwise, it's just 4 stars. And a borderline 4 stars at that - I won't be playing the sequel.


+ Very unique, original art direction. More so than any other game I've played on this site, Fear and Hunger actually feels like a professionally made AAA game (though that's not saying very much these days, is it?)
+ You don't get xp points, so there is no grinding
+ Multiple routes to take through the dungeon... but you will need to explore most all of them in order to get the "true" ending

- A few bugs... but nothing gamebreaking
- Game lags in certain areas
- The "True Ending" (Ending A) is bloody stupid. Why did I play an extra 2 hours to get it?
- "Gamey" immersion breaking designs (items always hit, 4 man party limit, if you kill a merchant you can't loot the corpse, etc...)
- IMO since the game is 2D, it would have been scarier, more atmospheric if the devs at orange added more descriptions. For example, rather than showing a short animation of a man being eaten, devs should have added a few sentences on cannibalism. "Show don't tell" works well in 3D games, but not so much in 2D

Simultaneously one of the best and worst games I've ever experienced. The critical damage economy is matched with a wide range of mechanics that lends itself to a crippling, but fair, challenge.... until RNJesus decides to fuck everything up. Why the developer thought this much RNG, in a game where a single attack can kill you, will never cease to amaze me. No matter how perfect your strategy, the game can just decide to say fuck you at any point. Your items, equipment, if your even allowed to SAVE are all determined by RNG; sometimes you end up with 2 sets of plate equipment and other times your trying to bring down the brood mother with a sharpened spoon.

Everything else is great, but god damn this feels like ramming my head into a brick wall only to discover it's actually the chosen brick and can regenerate whenever the fuck it wants.

7/10 I suffered immensely, and enjoyed moderately

I'm not sure if it's just me but god this is the scariest, creepiest, and most haunting atmosphere in a game I've ever played on this site. This gave me a few jump scares a few times and it was even worse that I played this at night during a storm...which made me get goosebumps. Horror game wise this is amazing but compared to everything else on this site (basically "porn and sex" wise) this is low but like changing up what I play so 5/5 for me for being just a this being a nerve to play like at this moment of me writing this I'm kinda scared shitless and I'm still at the starting stage of the game and I just killed a weird tall ass walking head thing.

When I first played this a year ago. I was fuming way too much to actually enjoy it or even give it a review, and even though I haven't played the latest versions (for the past year since I quit) I'll review it anyway.

This game, as a concept, is fascinating. It's probably the most 'souls-like' RPGM game I've played so far in terms of appearance, design, style, and art direction. That being said, the game is stupidly punishing and incredibly difficult to even get into, nevermind finish. The worst part? The tag says nudity but beyond some naked sprite sex and nudity in the design of the characters, there is no other payoff. I'm not going to play a game that baits people in with the prospect of pixel porn and great gameplay (ideas anyway) and not provide something satisfying for me to bust my nuts working to the end. How difficult is this game? It's a hoot and a half, let me tell you.

You can potentially die in one hit, you can be permanently maimed and left useless, you can accidentally step into traps insta-kill you, saving comes with the risk of getting killed half the time, enemies are OP as f, you die when you take a step too far, you die from eating the wrong things, you die when you breathe, you die when you start the game. Ok, hell just talking about it is giving me PTSD and is actually making me lower the score for my review even more.

Essentially, this game punishes you waaay too much for next to no reward. While I love the enemy and environment design, everything else about this game serves as a discouragement to ever play it. Granted., my review may be out of date since there have been several updates since I last played, but I don't want to torture myself again unless the devs finally include some actual sex and not some 4-second pixel bunny orgy. Don't play this game unless you're a masochist or have a certain disorder that causes you to want to dominate difficult games.

RPGMaker DarkSouls-Lovecraft horror/gore adventure.
IT IS DIFFICULT, YOU WERE WARNED. No whining you died in first 15 mins please. You may not find porn/ero content in this game.

Amount of work author dedicated to this game is astonishing. RPGMaker stuff is so much altered I rarely saw. Lots of custom art and coding. Good mood, very dark, DarkSouls-like.

Mods and cheating tools help a lot if you don't want to die THAT easily

After I read all of the page descriptions and any comment from all the player,
I try out the game since I search for porn zombie lead to recommended this game,
what I found this game sure is heavy taste with horrible torture punishment game it be.

Here below is my description how I played the game.
By first time went in the fortress or prison I explore the floor found the a girl without key to release her and one crazy zombie I beat him up and then I get to found only one prisoner guard and appear that I lose to it because of the intro tell my character(knight) how great it heroic tale, judge by the story I'm bless with the confident I went straight and challenge and get hack off my hand and several part of body and gg went straight to porn scene in the jail and that pervert is sadist guard he thinking about came back again just to relive the lust and to be sure I wont ran away the result my both leg gone and there goes the filthy bat came straight toward to me while I still try to figure out how to ran off the game over.

As the second time, I went back to the fortress with the same character I'm know I cant win the prisoner guard with the fake intro boast about the hero, I play by alert everywhere and about to enter the room with the map on the table and right beside the room locked with the girl the prisoner guard rush out in nowhere I decide to guard and how useless it is hack and my hand gone Alt+F4 I attempt to tried again from the start with the same character this time avoid once just by run away and by the second time I found I can't out ran(walk) with a stupid pig body side prisoner guard and I'm smart enough use run away ability by the shocked result I cant run with fail here get chopped my hand again Seriously?!

I attempt to try several time with the silly coin flipping random item came out first I was like Yo~!
I decide try again and like it was like yooo~ and again YoOo What the heck. The game is seriously insane with the difficult challenging plus the joke coin that been giving me hard time right after I try more then 30 time I lost my count and my appetite.

I'm agree although this game is great with such creating and challenge however F U man...
I almost forget I was trying to save a person but on the second though nah.. there no way that person mental will be normal judge by this kind of prison jail even right after save him out of the prison he will be no way to be back as normal person like hell it might be.

For those player who boast about the game with such nice speech comment description, only idiot will believe. Plus only god know how those player gaming progress percentage they have achieved or just simply keep in forever how long it been that they have touched so far there also a delete option either too.

This game is excellent, but definitely not for everyone. If you're looking for a bit of quick easy fun you can bust a nut too this is not it. If you're easily frustrated you also probably won't enjoy this game because virtually every element in this game is deliberately designed to challenge the player.

Gameplay: Every enemy is like a puzzle, and all of them are strong enough to totally wreck you without trying very hard. The only way to progress in the game is to take chances. Sometimes winning a fight isn't as straight forward as overpowering your enemy. Often the easiest way to learn a strategy is to fight an enemy, die, and try again. Many game elements, such as finding books, which are important for lore, and learning key skills like magic, are decided by a coin toss. This is a punishing system. No matter how strong you might be one wrong guess and you're fucked. Even saving your game is decided by a coin flip. Failure of those can produce cruel fates such as boss fights or even instant death.

Atmosphere: This is the game's shining point. It's dark to the point of being actually scary at times, and super original. There are tons of cookie cutter fantasy games out there, but this one is without parallel. The monsters in this are unique, and also frequently disgusting. It's difficult to tell whether anything is totally dead or alive . There are lovecraftian elements in it as well "Old gods" and so on, however this universe is very much its own. Each god is well developed with a robust backstory and particular variety of sinful behavior they prefer. The dungeon feels genuinely nightmarish too. There dark moldy caves with heaps of decaying corpses piled high inside, nasty ghouls, mysterious ruins with abominations all looking to murder you, and perhaps violate you first.

So in conclusion if you're interested in a game you can really immerse yourself in this is a game worth checking out. Bad things will happen to you. Often. But progress is addicting. Every accomplishment feel like a huge reward, and every enemy could be your last. I haven't even beaten this game yet but I've spent hours dying, and trying again, just so I can get closer to one of the games numerous different endings. So yeah- try this game. It's fucking awesome.

The different between dark soul and this game is luck (no gamer skill needed in this game)

AND LUCK

RULE YOUR DAY!

This is what I experince in this game, and I hate it. it basically something that human can not over come. IT IS LUCK! it is something that us can not determind and when this become part of the game? man you keep on raging about the game til you took a long break and come back to hopefully your luck stay on your side

Usually, at first games are easy to hook up the gamer, there are a learning curve, and after a while the games become more difficult. Not this game. There is no progression at all in the difficulty of the game and you can't save the game when you want, so the playthrough is like this:
1. You choose one of the 4 possible characters and start playing in "easy" mode.
2. You see the introduction and play during about 5 minutes.
3. You are killed after your first or second combat.
4. You start the game again with another character.
5. You repeat the previous steps.
6. You repeat the previous steps.
7. You repeat the previous steps.
8. After starting the game with the 4 possible characters, seeing the introduction 4 times, and being killed 4 times after 5 minutes, you get bored, give up and delete the game from your HD.

It may be brutal and unforgiving at times, but the rich lore and dark atmosphere more than make up for it. The fact the developer was able to squeeze so much into this game makes me want to explore the world more. The style and creature design remind me of Silent Hill; they're nightmarish and somewhat Lovecraftian. Overall, it's a wonderful, gothic delight.

• THIS IS A HORROR GAME!!
• Everything in this game seems to be designed to create a horror atmosphere and pressure.
• The game is hard and punishing. Enemies hit hard and there are heavy consequences for taking hits and failing. Some of those are based on RNG, which makes dealing with somethings even more dangerous.
• There's far too little instruction or "tutorial" on what things are (status, and what do they do, for example)
• Roguelite, some parts of the dungeon can change.
• Save is a VERY limited resource.
• No real scenes, only some quick pixel animations. (Until now, I found that you can be raped by the monster guards, who will cut off your legs and leave you bleeding bad to die. The other scene was a group of bunny people who offer sex which functions like a rest minus the save)

Overall, this game well suits my style, but the more casual gamer would like to stay away from it.

This is amazing. Its very strong, artistically, the style reminds me of illustrations by Edward Gorey. Its a bit like Baroque, Neverending Nightmares, Darkest Dungeons, or Lisa the painful, in spirit. Heavy, oppressive atmosphere, nice sound design, and some really great enemy designs. But beware: THIS IS NOT A PORN GAME. Its not meant to be porn game, and its not sexually appealing in slightest. It does feature sex, nudity, and rape, but oh boy... Its not the "fun" kind yall expect.

My first encounter with an enemy monster ended with my character being raped and butchered, yet kept alive in some prison area. You regain control, only to realise your characters legs were actually sawed off, meaning hes left there to crawl slowly and brokenly on the ground for the rest of his pitiful existence, making you easy target, and as a consequence of getting anally raped, he now has a status effect that makes blood drip form his anus every few crawls, slowing him down even more, leaving small fleck of blood on the floor. There are no CGs, only vague and gruesome in-game animations, like, light flickering on and off, and implied movement. Its effective.

Pont: This is an interesting and brutal horror RPG game. Ive only scratched the surface but it seems really interesting so far. Its not RPG maker porn game.

Also, most of the "coin toss" situations (in battles at least) can be avoided if you guard when you see enemy readying special move. But yeah, even so expect to die a lot.

The game is very interesting, you'd never know what could happen next. The only thing that annoys me is the scarcity of save items, a bed could let you save if you are lucky enough. The art style is good that it's actually very refreshing to the eyes. You can easily get hooked by this game if you prefer torturing yourself.

Overall a very interesting game, definitely not porn though. It's EXTREMELY punishing with most enemies being able to insta-kill you based on a coinflip. That being said, there's always a way to reasonably survive. Like others said, avoid combat as much as possible in the early portions until you can one-hit most enemies through finding good gear and getting good companions. This game is unforgiving, but far from impossible, very similar to Dark Souls in that regard.

Gameplay aside, the lore is amazing and the atmosphere is top notch. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone who doesn't mind dying to learn the game. For all others, I'd recommend cheating by altering the savefile (you can save at the bed, though there's a coinflip for whether you'll be attacked by a late game enemy or not) to give you 99 savebooks.

I really enjoy this game, but there are a lot of reasons you might not.

First and foremost, considering the site we're on, it's not very erotic. While this game has erotic content, this is not an erotic game. If you've got a very very particular taste in porn, you might get your jollies off, but realistically you won't. Pretty much every erotic encounter has some twisted horror aspect to it.

Second, while this is an RPG maker game, it isn't really played as an RPG. This is a survival horror game. If you try to play it like Darkest Dungeons, the game a lot of people in this thread compare it to, you'll have a very bad time. This is more like Silent Hill. The monsters are terrifying monstrosities, and while you can beat them quite easily with some of the weapons and powers you can find in the game, for the first half of the game or so most of them can absolutely murder you with exceptionally little effort.

Third, there is an aspect of RNG to the game. You are never required to do anything in game that uses the game's coin flip mechanic, so it's totally avoidable, but in it's in the game a lot and some of them can instantly kill you. This game is a rouge like and relatively short, so a lot of deaths should be expected, but each of these instant kill situations are entirely avoidable once you understand how they work.

On the point of this being a rouge like, saving in this game is challenging, at least until you're quite strong. The only stationary save point in the game has a 50/50 chance of running you into a late game enemy. If your strong enough to win the fight though, he doesn't respawn and from then on saving is free. Effectively this means that games where you've made a lot of progress and gained a lot of power are much easier to save in and avoid losing that progress, but early in the game when there isn't nearly as much to lose, saving is difficult.


All in all, the game is really rather fun if you enjoy the genre of survival horror, but otherwise mark it as a miss.

CONS:
1) NO porn. I mean it. Some dicks and tits. Occasional (gay) pixel fucking after which you die.
2) VERY slow pace of the game: walking, combat, ass fucking--everything is slow.
3) VERY fast dying, because of OP monsters and RNG.
4) NO strength progression (at least initially).
5) On top of that: NO saving. LOL.
(well ok, you can save having a single-use Book of Enlightenment in your inventory, but it takes ages of real time to reliably get it, including several restarting)
UPD 1.4.1: Just try to perceive the following:
it took 2+ years for a developer to understand that his game needs a saving system. Two freaking years!
And that is not the only ridiculous error in this game design

PROS:
1) Maybe art.
2) Maybe setting.

CONCLUSION:
Waste of your time.

P.S. Darkest Dungeon allows tactics and planning to win. This game allows… well… nothing to win.

P.P.S. If you really wanna try this game: go against your heart and at least use Cheat Menu to ‘conjure’ a number of books that allow you to save.
You'll be grateful for this advice, I mean it!
(And yeah, you may even grow any extremity by turning on/off some switches).
