Survive Napoleonic Europe in the aftermath of the Bacterium. Choose a unique survivor to venture out, quest, scavenge, fight, and prevail.

A sinister plague has befallen war-torn Europe, unleashing unspeakable horrors.

Step into heart-pounding darkness in HUNGER, a masterful blend of first-person shooter, slasher, RPG, and horror gameplay set in the desolate ruins of Napoleonic Europe - otherwise known as the World After the End. As a survivor among the Living, embark on a solitary journey or unite with allies in pairs or trios, navigating the perilous landscape haunted by monstrous beings spawned from the plague's wrath - the Hunger.

Fortune and adventure awaits those brave or foolish enough to venture out from the safety of the Chateau into the World After the End.

Hunger is coming to Early Access (Steam / Epic Games Store) in 2025 and will remain so for about 2 years.

On October 19th, HUNGER will enter its next phase of testing with our first Closed Beta.

Those of you who have been following development will know that we had previously discussed moving directly toward an Open Beta. Since then, the response to HUNGER has continued to grow, with far more players requesting access than we initially anticipated.

This is a good problem to have, but it's also one we need to approach properly.

Rather than opening the gates to everyone at once, we're going to use this next test as a significantly expanded version of our previous Tech Tests. The Closed Beta will allow us to bring considerably more players into HUNGER while continuing to test our infrastructure, scale our servers across multiple regions, identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot issues and make sure the game can handle what comes next.

In many ways, you can think of this as Tech Test 4, just on a larger scale.

CLOSED BETA

Starts: October 19th 10am BST

Ends: October 26th 9am GMT (TBC)

Players who participated in our previous Tech Tests will already have access, alongside additional players selected from those who have requested access through Steam.

We'll also be bringing more creators into the test, so expect to see more of HUNGER out in the wild. If you are a creator interested in participating in the Closed and Open Betas, keep an eye on our Discord and Steam page for updates.

WHAT ABOUT OPEN BETA?

Open Beta is still coming. The change is simply that it will happen later than originally planned, once we've had the opportunity to learn from the Closed Beta and make any necessary changes. When we open HUNGER to everyone, we want to be confident that our infrastructure is ready for the number of players waiting at the gates.

Given the level of interest we've seen, that's something we don't want to leave to chance.

We'll have more to share about the Open Beta, including dates and details on how to take part, after the Closed Beta concludes.

UNTIL THEN

Request access to the HUNGER Playtest on Steam. If HUNGER Playtest is already in your library from a previous test, you do not need to request access again and will automatically retain access through both the Closed and Open Beta phases.

To support us, please wishlist HUNGER on Steam

More soon.

GOOD FUN CORP

In the unforgiving World After the End, your survival and prosperity are intertwined with the denizens of the Chateau - a broad array of quest givers, shopkeepers, stashkeepers, bounty hunters and other Living. Completing quests and building your reputation broadens your access to new locations, abilities, characters, weapons, gear, and vital resources.

Deliver fire with a rifle or pistol, or lob explosive glass grenades with an experimental hand mortar. When the ammunition runs dry or the gap is closing too fast to reload, draw your axe or mace to enter lethal hand-to-hand combat. HUNGER is built upon a mix of methodical and frenetic ranged and melee combat as you enter a deadly and brutal dance with both the Hunger and other Living who seek to take what is yours. Find and equip armor, bags, trinkets, medicines, weapons, and shields to ready yourself for the different environments and battles ahead.

While much of your equipment and weaponry may be lost, all experience contributes to progressing your Living and their level. Each of the Living has a set of unlockable unique Passive, Tactical and Ultimate abilities, alongside deep and extremely customisable mastery trees with more than 100 talents to choose from. Build your Living for stealth and solo play by quieting your footsteps and lockpicking doors. Specialise for ranged combat by quickening your reload speed and increasing your weapon control. Sacrifice your lethality and support your party by repairing their armor and healing them. Survival is the only measure of success.

Explore forests, villages, monasteries, citadels, mines and more as you and other Living attempt to explore and plunder the remains of the World After the End.

Hunger is in development for PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) scheduled for 2027.
