I'm suddenly seeing a lot of Fear & Hunger content in my youtube recs, and...

You know I am a big fan of horror, I am a big fan of dark worlds and engrossing atmosphere - but even a cursory look shows this game is far, far worse than anything I've enjoyed or would ever think to try

I'm honestly a bit torn. I know that no one can say with certainty whether I would like it or not...
