You awaken on the first floor of an elaborate carnival designed by the Puppetmaster. What’s left of you is now fused with intricate clockwork machinery. After regaining your senses, you realize one thing: you must ascend. The higher floors are your only escape from this ever-shifting mechanical nightmare. The carnival is dark, yet hauntingly beautiful and melancholic. Don’t worry, soon it will feel like home.
On the other side of the carnival, another awakens with the urge to perform better and kill.
A TWISTED CARNIVAL OF SURVIVAL
Carnival Hunt is an asymmetric horror strategy multiplayer experience set inside an ever-shifting mechanical carnival.
One player becomes the Carnival Monster. The others become puppet Bunnies.
Nothing here is stable. Nothing here is safe. The carnival is always performing, even when no one is watching.
And everything makes a sound.
SURVIVE AS THE BUNNIES
Work together as a team of Bunnies to survive the Monster’s hunt and escape the Carnival by ascending to the highest floor. Manage limited wind-up energy, share resources, and coordinate movement before the system runs dry.
Use proximity voice chat to coordinate, deceive, or panic while working together as a team.
Every mistake echoes. Every sound can be your last.
WIND-UP SYSTEM
Your survival depends on a fragile wind-up charge system.
Move too much, and you drain faster
Stop cooperating, and you collapse
Run out of charge, and you are lost to the carnival
Bunnies must wind each other up to survive.
Trust is a resource.
PLAY DEAD SYSTEM
There are procedurally generated groups of fallen Bunnies scattered across the map. Play dead among them to hide from the Monster.
But stay still too long… and the performance may end.
EXTRACTION & ESCAPE
Scavenge valuable resources across the carnival’s shifting floors and escape before the Monster catches you.
Every match is a gamble between greed and survival.
PROGRESSION: PUPPET UPGRADES
Unlock and upgrade the gears within your inner mechanisms to become:
More agile
More resilient
More unpredictable
More mischievous
BECOME THE CARNIVAL MONSTER
Step into the role of the Carnival Monster, a relentless force of chaos and control. Each Monster has unique abilities designed to track, disrupt, and eliminate the Bunnies.
Adapt your playstyle. Predict their movement. Break their coordination.
You are not just hunting them.
You are performing for the carnival.
THE CARNIVAL IS THE STAGE
The world is not just a map. It is a performance.
The Monster performs.
The Bunnies perform.
Even death performs.
And lastly, dress to impress or intimidate; it is equally important.
THE WORLD
Carnival Hunt is meticulously crafted to immerse players in a captivating Victorianesque era, where the allure of steam engines and traveling circuses dominated the entertainment scene. The visuals and art direction evoke a sense of nostalgia with ornate details, vintage architecture, and intricate machinery that reflect the charm and grandeur of the time.
Rich elements belonging to the Victorian era are seen in intricately wrought iron fences, gas lamps casting a warm glow on cobblestone streets, and vintage posters adorning the walls. This blend of historical accuracy and imaginative fantasy creates a unique and engrossing game world, inviting players to explore a bygone era filled with mystery and wonder.
The whimsical carnival theme further enhances the experience, infusing the game with eccentric characters and a touch of enchantment. Players will find themselves captivated by the juxtaposition of darkness and whimsy as they navigate through the world of the traveling circus.
Carnival Hunt takes the classic "Hide & Seek" concept and infuses it with an exciting twist. As Bunnies, players must work together in combining their wits and courage to overcome a series of daunting challenges orchestrated by the enigmatic Magician.
Time is of the essence as you race against the clock to charge your wooden bodies before the Carnival Monster discovers your hiding place. Survival hinges on your ability to evade the relentless pursuit of the monstrous fiend and find a path to freedom.
CHARACTER STORY
The game features a diverse cast of Carnival Monsters, each possessing their own distinctive abilities and objectives. One such intriguing character is the Puppet Master, an enigmatic presence that players are sure to encounter. The Puppet Master's eerie presence adds an additional layer of suspense and mystery to the game. Players can delve into the depths of the Puppet Master's story, unveiling the hidden secrets of the carnival and uncovering the true nature of this captivating and unsettling character.
The Puppet Master was fascinated by the art of puppetry. He spent countless hours crafting and manipulating puppets, developing a talent that was unmatched by anyone in his village. However, as he grew older, the Puppet Master's obsession with his craft began to consume him.
In becoming increasingly isolated, the Puppet Master spent all of his time perfecting his puppets, which ultimately, led to experimentation. Although the Puppet Master is the main villain in the game’s story, he is not a playable character in-game.
The Magician himself performed remarkable illusions such as disappearing and teleporting, among others. His most popular act was the classic trick of bringing a rabbit out of an empty hat and making it disappear again. The game portrays the Magician as someone who is willing to do anything, including sacrificing Bunnies and others, to achieve his dream of impressing an audience.
It should be noted that the Magician is not necessarily an autonomous character, but rather one of the creations of the Puppet Master. As such, his actions and behaviors may be heavily influenced and manipulated by his Master, raising questions about who the real monster is.
The Bunnies symbolize the innocent who were abducted by the Magician. In Carnival Hunt, the Bunnies support each other by winding up or charging one another which leads them to find strength and hope in a seemingly impossible situation.
