Dread Hunger advances the social deception genre by immersing players in an 1840s Arctic exploration voyage where eight player-controlled Explorers depend on each other for survival—but two of them are Thralls determined to sabotage the mission.
The game mixes survival gameplay in an icy Unreal Engine world with roleplaying and social deception over voice chat, a concept constructed by creative director Alex Quick, previously known for Man eater, Killing Floor, and Depth, and his team. This unique combination continues to attract game content creators and players alike, with millions of video views and an 86% positive user review score during its successful Early Access campaign.
It’s up to each player in Dread Hunger to bring life to their chosen character through voice chat while completing objectives. The six Explorers must work together to gather resources to power the steam-powered sailing ship towards its destination while contending with the harsh climate.
Meanwhile, Thralls plot to poison food, massacre crew members, blow holes in the ship, and invoke dark magic to undermine the mission—all while pretending to be loyal Explorers. Starvation, wolves, cannibal attacks, and other gruesome fates abound, and any misplaced trust can quickly lead to a knife in the back. When food is sparse, fellow crew mates appear more and more appetising.
