Carnival Hunt

Carnival Hunt is a 5v1 first-person asymmetrical horror game set in a carnival world created by a character known as the Puppetmaster. Five players take on the role of wind-up Bunnies who must work together to complete objectives and escape, while a sixth player controls the Carnival Monster, whose goal is to hunt them down before they finish their performance.

Both sides rely on a wind-up charge system to remain active. Bunnies must manage a limited supply of keys, which are used to keep themselves and teammates moving and to activate mechanisms within the map. Using keys produces noise that can reveal a player’s position to the Monster. The Monster captures Bunnies and consumes their keys to extend its own charge, and is equipped with unique abilities suited to tracking, disruption, and control. Bunnies can also hide among groups of fallen puppets scattered through the carnival, staying still to avoid detection while the Monster searches for them, an action that costs the Monster time and charge.

Matches take place across procedurally arranged maps built from 32 modular rooms spanning several carnival themes, meaning room layouts and connections change between sessions. The game uses first-person perspective for all players and includes positional voice chat, requiring careful communication since sound and movement can expose a player’s location. Character customisation is also available, allowing players to alter the appearance of their Bunny or Monster.
