Gameplay
Carnival Hunt puts players inside a hostile carnival where every match becomes a tense contest between cooperation and pursuit. Most players take the role of puppet Bunnies, who must work together, manage their wind-up charge, share resources, stay quiet, and complete objectives while trying to ascend toward escape.
The Carnival Monster plays a very different game. As the hunter, the Monster must track the Bunnies, break their coordination, use unique abilities, and punish careless movement or noise. The first-person view keeps both sides vulnerable, making sound, positioning, and timing just as important as raw speed.
Story
The game begins inside an elaborate mechanical carnival created by the mysterious Puppetmaster. The Bunnies awaken as clockwork puppets trapped in a dark performance they do not understand, with only one clear goal: ascend through the carnival and escape.
On the other side of this nightmare, the Carnival Monster awakens with a need to hunt and perform. The carnival itself feels alive, unstable, and cruel, turning every chase into part of a twisted show where survival always comes at a cost.
Graphics
Carnival Hunt uses a gloomy horror style built around a mechanical circus filled with puppets, clockwork details, dark rooms, theatrical props, and unsettling carnival imagery. Its atmosphere combines gothic fantasy, melancholy stage design, and survival horror tension to create a world that feels strange, dangerous, and hauntingly beautiful.
