We all have a hunger
What is the most hungry thing you have ever been to? If it fell on it, would you eat the garbage? Family pet? Your cousin Pat? These are the questions posed by the multiplayer survival game Starve. Since I don’t know how to cook I’ll probably be hooked too, but now you can experience for yourself how far you’ll last!
Well, this is a new one for me! Dread Hunger is an eight-player survival game with a twist – two players are traitors, sent to kill others by any means necessary. Like vandalism or magic or outright murder. Then I guess you can eat them! Ya must survive, right? That is the crux of the game.
Read these bullet points I copied from Steam:
- Survive in the Arctic
Build fires to keep warm, fend off wolves and other predators, and hunt for food to survive in the brutal and unforgiving Canadian Arctic. - Betray your friends
Feed them poisoned food, lure animals to attack them, use blood sucking magic, or if all else fails… just shoot them in the back. - You are what you eat
In the Arctic, you’ll have to make some grim choices to keep feeding. The butcher carcass and use the pieces as weapons – or food. - Captain of a ship
Pilot a 19th-century warship around (or on) icebergs. Find coal for the always hungry boiler to keep the ship moving… or blow it up. - Brave a Perilous World
Plan a cycle of day and night, deal with unexpected losses, and try to weather a massive blizzard that engulfs the expedition.
It must be popular because according to my sources, it had over 60k concurrent players on Steam in the last 24 hours. Also! These little tidbits in the Mature Content Description always make me chuckle:
Sometimes the dead have spirit.
Sometimes they too, my friends. Sometimes they do.
