The setting is more inspired by old DRPGs, ASCII roguelikes and King's Field series. Adult content is inspired more by Outlast than anything else too."

Pretty much anything I come by affects these games one way or another. With Termina there's a whole new set of inspirations too ofc."

Which is an amazing visual representation of how would Lovecraft's method of describing the undescribable would *look like*. MILD SPOILERS: SEVERAL of the endings outright SCREAM "you are driven mad from the revelation of things that are beyond your comprehention", "your efforts were futile in the face of a force incomparably greater than you are" - both are themes in Lovecraft's own works and in works inspired by Lovecraft.

The "issue" of the comparison with Dark Souls is that From games are, well, Action RPGs, with the Action part being the main one. You can clear the game with a naked dude and a broken sword if you so choose. F&H doesn't work like that. The map and loot are randomly generated, the only things you can surely have on your side when starting a run is 1) Your character starting skills 2) The layout of the dungeon having a certain basic structure that is always respected. The actual "expertise" lies in the knowledge of the mechanics of the game, but it's never a 100% sure bet. You can study your run perfectly but get shitty luck with loot and be at deep areas with little food and sanity recovery items, so you can end up "softlocked" if you can't get to the end fast enough or loot more. Dark Souls is a game you master, F&H is a game you learn to manipulate and run along with. With the added help of Save Scumming. It's basically an intended mechanic of the game.

I think a big theme in Fear & Hunger is “how far are you willing to go to achieve your goals? What are you willing to give up to get what you want?” Whether that’s in-game of your character giving their flesh or their life, or you the player giving your time and effort, the game asks you that. And you have to decide which path is worth the risk and what morality means, how far is too far? What’s interesting is beyond endings A, B, C, D, and E there are S-endings that are specific to each character and only achieveable in the harder game difficulty. The lore is quite complex, it’s a fascinating rabbit hole.

[@akumuryuu]

The setting he described really reminds me of Black Souls games by "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe?". Everything is grotesque, it's a twisted mix of various fairy tales. The game is not hard, but you play it normally and find a pool of blood on the ground, nothing special, tons of those around. Turns out it was a character you could save and recruit, but you need to defeat rats first. So you play again, kill rats right away, come there and find a girl... and she's just a merchant, nothing special. Because this time you defeated rats too early, and the thing that would motivate her to join you didn't happen. Then, many runs later, you manage to save all the characters... and they just die in the epilogue anyway. Turns out you still have something you need to do, and it involves NOT saving a bunch of characters, but this time on purpose. It's an eroge though, even though that part is completely irrelevant and can be turned off, so streamers don't play it.

My friend gifted me the game so I was able to play it for the first time yesterday and as someone who loves the Soulsborne series and has no problem with dying over and over, I’m already in so much love with playing. I’ve watched many videos about it, but holy hell the game is so challenging and fun. My only issue is that the game froze several times so I had to restart. I believe I was able to fix it though, so my problems should be gone entirely

[@Darkflo23]

I think what make it more tolerable, is how short the two games are, it make replaying them a breeze with a bit of experience.

[@shokotwokawa9695]

As someone who’s also played through and loved both F&H games it’s fun to see Connor explaining it to other people because I explained it pretty much the same “Everything sucks and the game wants you to suffer but it’s actually really cool I swear”

[@moaen1]

I hope that he stream the second game

[@tomjack1000000]

Ah fear and hunger. I hate it, it's great.

[@agnivalahiri9347]

You know a game is goated when Connor cares about the story

[@ZabZabZabie]

So its basically darksouls with more knowledgevania shit and more opaque

[@Urd-Vidan]

Much more punishing than DS, imo, because of the chance based combat and coin toss. Fully mastering the game, though, makes it like a walk on the park, especially if you know all the placements of the guaranteed items(because almost all items have randomized placements).

[@Mochachocakon]

The coin flips are pretty fitting for the atmosphere and setting. It keeps the danger up quite a bit and reminds you that your characters are very mortal.

[@CocoMura]

there''s these intractable scroll racks, they just say: have all caps written out 3 spaced words as such. O LORD GRANT THE SPOILER - like it's something you'd be like huh.. and look over until you get an empty scroll and it asks for 3 stanzas. It's alot. But it's there

[@xelldincht4251]

I cant believe he decides to play one. I hope he will play more JRPGs

"It's not hard. It's easy. You just need to know what to do" Translation "Its Easy, It just takes forever to get going"

[@NinjapowerMS]

Connor isn't wrong. Mechanically the game is pretty easy for turn base standards. The only thing artificially hard is the game screwing you over with RNG kicking your sack. Darkest dungeon 1 and this game had similar ideas for combat but DD is a harder mechanically.

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

Connor's just really into high stakes games the most.

[@diegofelipevillegasrubio8767]

I feel like Fear and Hunger basically mixes Berserk and old school DnD and the resulting reaction produced a game.

[@Jadesmorot]

I think it’s really cool when someone gets into a new piece of art that’s like challenging and engaging, you can really tell that the creators put a lot of heart and mind into making it super special

[@PrinnyWesker]

Connor spending the first 8 minutes describing the misery the game inflicted upon him before saying "Its actually an amazing game" is the truest Fear & Hunger experience

[@chupika6464]

I know its old, but the empty scroll is "told" to you very early on, in the room with Enki (If you choose not to play as him) a scroll written to teach hurting is on a podium. If you copy the passage you would learn it aswell, then trial and error could lead you to the other options.

[@Nina369ish]

I'm glad this game is becoming more well known! I played it not long after it came out and it killed my soul but at the same time it's so unique and the atmosphere is awesome.

[@rubymochicarlile7535]

This is the kind of game I will never play but will watch a million KZbin videos about

[@adrian7741]

Hold on...Conner read the story!!!!!!!!!!???????????

[@NothingThere739]

If Connor wants uncomfortable horror he should check out Darkwood, probably the best horror game I have played in a while.

[@henokh.c]

Fear and Hunger is way worse (in a good way) than Darkwood.

[@NothingThere739]

​@@henokh.c Nah, Fear and Hunger's edginess can feel forced at times. It's like a middle schooler that just learned how to swear but, for darker themes instead of cuss words. Sure Fear and Hunger has more provocative shit but, in Darkwood the subtlety makes the horror feel like it belongs.

[@shelbyherring92]

​@@NothingThere739Wait, Darkwood... Is that that top down survival horror game that Markiplier played a while back, where like the guy is in a house in the woods and has to do supply runs during the day?

[@NothingThere739]

@@shelbyherring92 Yup!

[@shelbyherring92]

​@@NothingThere739​ Okay... In that case, I can see where you're coming from about the edginess of the F&H games compared to Darkwood in how some of the horror scenes seemed forced. I think most feel the SA scenes definitely are (I agree with SEW and Zeldim on this point) but I'd say everything else surrounding the game are on par with or better done in comparison to Darkwood. That said, I do agree Darkwood seems more consistent in its tone and sense of morose than F&H is.

[@fableshearth2457]

Connor's video prompted me to get and play the game and I am having a blast. I accidentally fused myself with a ghoul I resurrected and I have a skeleton companion.

[@Funger-_-]

I feel guilty after i use an empty scroll, but a claymore is a claymore.

[@alahuakfodac]

LOL

[@someguy774]

Some of the mechanics are very obscure but there is a hint specific to the scroll. When you find a place where a scroll is guaranteed you get a book that you can read that has the tree verses that if you type into the scroll you get a free save.

[@Ryan-py7pw]

I would recommend Darkwood if you want a similar feeling game with real time combat and absolutely unsetteling world and gameplay. Definitely not as punishing as F&H but giving you the same enjoyment of discovery without the need of dying so many times.

[@imadudewithissues]

the fact that the steam page just says berserk but you're a side character

[@generalinterestgaming8254]

some of the enemies do drop items in the game you just have to walk up to their corps and interact.

[@united_europe]

Well Fear and Hunger can be very easy, you just have to know what to do. You spawn very close to one of the best swords in the game and most enemies can be evaded.

[@lottery_ticket]

Fear & Hunger made me realize I'm not a gamer, and I just wanted the story the whole time.

[@franconunez925]

Ok, in defence of the Lucky coin mechanic not being explained, the game didn't had this in the beginning but after the sequel came in and had this new mechanic properly explained, and everyone liked that mechanic so much that the programmer added it to the first game with a few places where you could guaranteed get them... And since even this game had such a spaghetti code that you can get infinite of these in one chest if you don't grab a certain coin in a certain variation of the map, so I don't want to imagine what could have happened if he tried to make an actual tutorial about it.

[@whackareal]

this feels like whenever i try and present a game i like to my friends and have to keep saying “but trust me it’s good” after mentioning an aspect of it

[@mortified0]

Big ups to SuperEyepatchWolf for bringing so many eyes to Fear and Hunger and revitalizing it in the public mind

[@SnuSnuDungeon]

Fear and Hunger and its sequel are very good games, they are brutal but the story and setting are amazing

[@temporary_name2621]

I’m so proud of Connor for not skipping the lore this time lol. But in all seriousness this game is fun but so unforgiving.

[@YiSangmyYiSang]

I want to see these dudes talk about Limbus Company or any Project Moon games!

[@FaizalKuntz]

Connor should start playing Shin Megami Tensei games it literally Persona without character development only gameplay and it's dark soul hard

[@mithras9706]

Saying SMT doesn't have character development is wrong imo, it just isn't character focused, they do develop but odds are you'll only get to see the development of the one you allied yourself with.

[@vazazell5967]

​@@mithras9706 it's weak even for character you allied with

The coin toss is basically the dice in ttrpgs If you land in the right dice number you either win or loose the battle or your character dies

[@2skinface]

im so glad this game has been getting so much more attention. the dev deserves it more than most other devs.

[@hornedgoddess8191]

Fear and Hunger is amazing. I don't usually play horror survival games but this one is awesome. It really feels like you're actually trying to survive. You have to struggle with the tools the game offers you in order to survive the horrors of this world. And that's also a big part of the theme of the game with all its macabre lore.

[@HeroOfAnnihilated]

I really hope Connor will play Pathologic 2

[@mithras9706]

Saying it's HEAVILY inspired on Berserk is a bit of a stretch actually, while yes Le'garde is basically Griffith, Miro stated that he wanted the game to be able to stand on it's own and I'd say he succeeded, almost everything else has nothing to do with Berserk.

[@muhammadsaduddin308]

Le garde is griffith, while renegadvr is guts. The guard is donovan

[@mithras9706]

@@muhammadsaduddin308 Ragnvaldr might be somewhat similar to Guts but he isn't meant to be (quite a few hints on the second game even hint his weapon of choice is the bow, people love saying that and that D'arce is Casca but that has been debunked, Ragnvaldr isn't even the only character to hate Le'garde in the series, dude is just THAT unlikable. I'm not saying there aren't any, the guard is a valid one, what I am saying is that people think there are way more inspiration than there actually is.

[@Gensolink]

@@mithras9706 yeah it's a melting pot of reference and saying it's just heavily inspired by berzerk is a bit too narrow minded. Like the talk option can sometimes make you feel you're playing SMT, Crow mauler being inspired by silent hill and I'm sure you could find some lovecraftian references there

[@mithras9706]

@@Gensolink That is a wonderful way of putting it, also Miasma (the sentient sword you get in the game), is basically Soul Edge from the Soul Calibur games.
