This announcement was originally shared back on November 13th but for anyone interested, Dread Hunger is still available on Steam for a few more days before being removed from sale on December 1st.…
It’s a shame, the design of this game is so interesting but ultimately you need eight friends for it to work. I think it’s probably a better board game than online video game.
Having watched some avid streamers of this game, you need a lot more friends.
Otherwise, you learn people’s behaviour and how they lie.
“The meta” also develops fairly early. Where “if X doesn’t do Y, then they are likely a thrall”.
And things like certain classes being able to clear the map of coal before the crew gets close, so there is no chance of moving the boat up.
Or people speedrunning the nitro.
It’s a great premise, well executed, a fun game. Interesting mechanics, atmospheric, the survival aspect can be brutal… But unfortunately it’s timespan was self-limited.

At least they are giving out the tools needed to keep it alive. Much better than most other games, especially those from big publishers.
The right answer! Sorry it didn’t work out better for the studio, but good choice for a bad time.
