Since Dead by Daylight exploded the genre of asymmetric horror multiplayer in 2016, there have been many projects that have tried to emulate the success of Behaviour Interactive game, some have succeeded for a short time, others just couldn’t.
Some time ago I told you about a new asymmetrical multiplayer horror game called Carnival Hunt that attracted me mainly because of the concept, in fact the game is set inside a kind of circus where the Bunnies will have to escape from the Carnival Monster:
''Step into the horrifying asymmetric world of Carnival Hunt where one among you plays as the Carnival Monster while the others play as Bunnies. In the survival of the fittest, either the Bunnies will prevail in their escape or the Carnival Monster will succeed in their hunt. Play in first-person POV where no one has the advantage of situational awareness. You never know who or what is lurking behind you.''
About the Bunnies:
''In Carnival Hunt, Bunnies must work together to wind each other up and exhaust their keys, all while avoiding the Carnival Monster. Bunnies must be careful not to make too much noise and can find spare keys or seek help from teammates, if needed. To evade the Carnival Monster, Bunnies can also play possum and blend in with dead Bunnies on the map.''
About the Monster:
''The Carnival Monster must capture Bunnies and consume their wind-up keys to charge themself. Each monster has its own unique set of skills to perform. The Magician, for instance, can go invisible. He can also teleport to different rooms using his magic box. If the Carnival Monster believes a Bunny is playing dead, it can check the bunnies one-by-one. But will lose precious time and charge in doing so.''
The peculiarity of this project comes not only from the style, but also from the fact that it will be entirely in first person, which is something never done before with regard to asymmetric horror multiplayer, and here you can see a video on some game mechanics:
If you would like to support the developers, I would like to remind you that Carnival Hunt has its own kickstarter page where you can donate to the project:
What do you think about it?
