What is Carnival Hunt?

Carnival Hunt is an Early Access first-person horror game set in a carnival created by the Puppetmaster. In five-against-one matches, wind-up bunnies complete objectives, share limited keys, and hide to escape, while the monster hunts them and consumes their keys. Both sides need charge to stay active, but using keys makes noise that can reveal their position.

  • +you enjoy coordinating escapes and sharing resources with teammates
  • +you like using stealth and deception against human opponents

Not for you if...

  • −you want a single-player horror campaign
  • −you prefer survival without managing a constantly draining resource
