As someone that played through Fear & Hunger I'm very glad you aren't going to try it. it's really Disgusting at times in a "I know what you are, developer" sort of way and it takes so much energy to ignore the BAD that its just best to appreciate it from far far away and go "Oooooh cool art style". I do wish people brought that aspect up more at times. HOWEVER the art style & designs really do kick ass

haven't heard of any I Know What You Are allegations or rumors about the developer of f&h but frankly since i'm not touching the games i mostly didn't go look + not sure if i'm interested in knowing [but also i play + deeply enjoy + create fanart of pathologic & lead developer and writer of that has Freak allegations up to his neck, which i knew well before i got into the game(s) and i'm still playin & enjoying, and my critiques/criticisms of the female characters and their treatment is Explicitly informed by my knowledge of his Freak allegations] but i know from talking to like 5 different people at this point that the sexual/sexualized violence is not approached in a way I would find/those people I trust already find meaningful/well-handled. anyone and everyone is welcome to have their own opinions on it and think that this violence informs/fits within the content and the context of the brutal nature of the narrative, but from what i've heard and been able to discuss, even within the context of absolutely brutal ruthless narratives, it's just Not Handled In A Way That Is Well-/Meaningfully Written/offered the care it needs (yes even in a tragic cruel disgusting yucky evil narrative), whether objectively or subjectively, so i'm not touching that (also frankly i don't really care about turn-based rpgs. is just not my jam. i enjoyed whichever FF it was i had on DS but like. yawn a lil)

[this is no dig at people who play & enjoy any of the fungers btw many of my friends do play & like it + we're all able to enjoy like. horror. games. and movies and whatnot with yucky disgusting themes (that's what horror is. that's what the point of horror is) in the narrative & i greatly enjoy the art that comes of it but like. there's a reason even people who have played it tons + enjoy it thoroughly focus drawing the dynamics and interpersonal relationships between the characters and the found family aspect with The Girl and the web of bonds and not the ~allegedly~ Very Poorly Handled Graphic Omnipresent Sexual Violence]
