"If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you" - this saying perfectly encapsulates the horrific world of Fear and Hunger. This game, in my opinion, is the epitome of what good Cosmic Horror can be and it is this idea that I will explore in today's video. By analysing the narrative, the gameplay and the general atmosphere, I will conclude on how exactly Fear and Hunger achieves this, and the consequences it has on the gaming medium as a whole.
Welcome back to another video! I do apologise for the wait for this one, but considering the length, I hope it can be excused. Doing this while attending university is quite demanding but I am still really enjoying it, so I don't plan on stopping! Once again, if you did enjoy/do enjoy the video at any point please consider liking and subscribing to support me doing more of these videos. You can also follow my Twitter for updates on both me and my videos and my Twitch if you want to watch me Live - speaking of, let me know down below if streaming consistently is something you'd want to see! Anyway, thank you so much for watching, and I will see you in the next one.
