About Carnival Hunt

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.
