Dread Hunger Review (The Holy Peanut)
Dread Hunger is a very unique game in the social deception genre, based around the dreaded Franklin Expedition, this game creates a fun and deceptive atmosphere, when sometimes the atmosphere of the Arctic seems to be more scary than the threat of betrayal from those close to you. The community around this game is very kind and accepting, and I have met some lovely people on this game, and have had a lot of fun in my nearly 500 hours of playtime. However, with the game disappearing from the Steam shop, and servers being closed, I do believe the developers are making a huge mistake, as this game has a lot of potential , if the developers were to make the game Free to Play, it would bring some much needed attention to the player numbers, and the game wouldn't be without income as the paid DLCs would still exist. The game also had the potential for many new customisation areas, and more additions to the current stock of accessories, along with new mechanics and map overhauls. Overall, Dread Hunger was fun while it lasted, and I have made some pleasant memories with the game and the people within it, and It will be sad to watch the community slowly phase out.
I rate this game an overall 7.5/10, nice idea, nice people, just a shame about the game being abandoned now.
