What to expect from Carnival Hunt
Carnival Hunt is a 5v1 first-person asymmetrical horror set in the world of a twisted carnival. It is controlled by the Puppet Master, and five of you end up as wound-up bunnies. Your objective is to work together, complete different quests, and ultimately escape the place.
One of you will take the role of the Carnival Monster, and your goal is to prevent the others from escaping the carnival.
The chances of success for both parties depend on finding and managing the limited keys. Those trying to escape will have to use the keys to keep one another moving, while the carnival monster will also need to consume them to meet its goal. Every key makes noise, and a single mistake can be very dangerous in such a situation.
As you explore the carnival, you’ll discover various ways to hide. For example, fallen bunnies at specific spots let you conceal yourself from the monster. Pay attention to your surroundings, work as a team, and manage your resources to increase your chances of survival.
If you are the monster, your goal changes slightly: track the bunnies’ movements, prevent them from completing objectives, and separate them from the group. Your unique abilities let you hunt, deceive, and pressure your opponents. Prediction is key, as you must anticipate what they will do next. Ensure every mistake is punished, and every bunny is caught.
Carnival Hunt does not have a demo to offer on Steam, but you can wishlist it to stay on top of the upcoming launch.
