About this gameFull description from Steam
WELCOME TO THE HUNT Carnival Hunt is a 5v1 first-person asymmetrical horror game set within a twisted carnival world created by the Puppetmaster. Five players become fragile wind-up Bunnies who must work together, complete objectives, and find a way to escape. One player becomes the Carnival Monster, hunting them before they can complete their performance. Both sides depend on their wind-up charge to survive. Bunnies must manage limited keys and keep one another moving, while the Monster must capture Bunnies and consume their keys to remain active. Every key makes noise. Every mistake can reveal your position. Every second brings the performance closer to its end. SURVIVE AS THE BUNNIES Work together as a team of five wind-up Bunnies. Complete objectives, explore the map, share resources, and coordinate your escape before the Carnival Monster finds you. The Bunnies are not powerful fighters. Survival depends on teamwork, careful movement, resource management, and knowing when to hide. A separated Bunny is an easy target. KEEP EACH OTHER WOUND UP Your wind-up charge gradually runs down throughout the match. Use keys to keep yourself moving, wind up your teammates, and activate important mechanisms. Keys are limited, and using them creates noise that can reveal your location to the Monster. Spend them carelessly, and your team may not have enough charge to escape. Bunnies must keep one another moving. Trust is a resource. PLAY DEAD Groups of fallen Bunnies can be found throughout the carnival. Hide among them and pretend to be one of the lifeless puppets when the Monster approaches. The Monster can inspect the bodies one by one, but every search costs precious time and charge. Remain still, stay convincing, and hope the Monster chooses incorrectly. BECOME THE CARNIVAL MONSTER Take control of the Carnival Monster and stop the Bunnies before they escape. Track their movements, disrupt their objectives, separate the group, and consume their wind-up keys to extend your own charge. Each Monster has unique abilities designed around hunting, deception, pressure, and control. Predict where the Bunnies will go. Punish their mistakes. Break their coordination. EVERY SOUND MATTERS Every player experiences the hunt from a first-person perspective, limiting situational awareness and keeping danger just outside their field of view. Use positional voice chat to communicate with your teammates, but be careful. The Monster may be listening. Winding keys, activating mechanisms, moving through the environment, and communicating at the wrong moment can expose your position. Sometimes silence is the safest strategy. A WORLD OF DEADLY PERFORMANCES Explore procedurally arranged map layouts built from 32 modular rooms across several carnival themes. Routes, room connections, and the spaces you encounter can change from one match to the next. Each hunt challenges the Bunnies to understand their surroundings, complete their objectives, and adapt before the Monster brings the performance to an end. The Monster performs. The Bunnies perform. Even death has a role to play. DRESS FOR THE OCCASION Customize your character and enter the carnival dressed to impress, intimidate, or deceive. After all, every performer needs the right costume. Wind your friends. Protect your keys. Listen carefully. The carnival is waiting.
