What Actually Happens in Fear & Hunger? - Story Analysis & Review

Love how the Outlander basically became Doom Guy divine incarnate and protecting humanity from the shadow with his doggo companion.

Enki is the type of guy to see his best friend transform into an evil flesh monster and his response would simply be to sigh and pull out his spell book

Enki's whole reason for being there is because he saw Griffith from berserk ascending to Godhood and uniting the world and his first thought was "wtf that should be me"

"many people just turn off the game. This is a valid approach". Compelling and hilarious.

Fear and Hunger seems to be having a weird renaissance on YouTube and I'm all here for it

Undoubtably my favorite ending is Ragnvaldr's where he kills all of the bosses on the island and basically becomes the medieval version of the Doomslayer. He wakes up every morning and unfailingly chooses violence.

"The God of Fear and Hunger acknowledges your suffering. And the weight of that acknowledgement crushes you instantly." Chills. Literally chills. Take my sub.

Cahara and the girl have such a tragic journey- yes according to the lore he is the most likely to have sacrificed for the girl to ascend and honestly i'm so sad for them both... He never got to leave the dungeons to be with his wife and child but at least he experienced fatherhood for a short while taking care of the girl and the girl knew kindness for the first time even if for a short period :,)

Fear and Hunger is about living in a world where good outcomes just don't happen very often, if at all. Yes, you can absolutely win the coin toss and not get killed this time around, but that coin is going to keep flipping. Sooner or later, you make the wrong call. Good planning and preparation, solid strategy and manipulation, all of that can be undone just because of a single flip of the coin, and then everything quickly falls apart. This applies not just to the gameplay, but to the world of F&H in general.

I love how Sylvians love for humans is like a perverted reimagining of the tale of an artist who falls in love with their art

The small percentage who managed to kill the dogs in early game are menace to the socity

I heard Le'garde's name as "The guard" this entire time, and wondered why he didn't get any kind of fancy name, and got so confused about how big of a role he had for simply being called "The guard"

Probably the only analysis on Fear and Hunger brave enough to show the spoilers and explain it in a timeline. Awesome video.

Fun fact: you can use necromancy on All-Mer's corpse. But instead of raising an Ascended God as your minion, you only "raise" his pp.

I like to think that Cahara managed to get out of the dungeon like in the S ending, maybe the God of Fear and Hunger gave him one last favor as repayment for all the kindness and safety it had received from him back when she was still the Girl. Cahara never truly left the dungeon.. despite all the riches he had gathered in that place, the horrors and trauma he endured never left him till the end even if he's in the same bed with his wife.

I love it when games turn their fanbase into archeologist, historians, and philosophers

I feel so bad for Cahara, I like to believe that all characters S endings are canon and he got to go back to his wife and child 😔

Mad respect for the creator to invent such a macabre and horrifying world. Even the imagery is so damn haunting and disgusting but to put that together I have to give credit.

I feel like cahara is the only one who continues to truly suffer the aftermath of the dungeon in his s ending, so being ¨killed¨ by the girl is an act of mercy. I understood that she convinces you to stop fighting, to suffer, and in my opinion, the character is convinced to stop breathing, so it's not a violent death.

I really love how Fear and Hunger takes clear inspiration from certain things but still manages to have a fresh take on familiar tropes. Like yes while there is no shortage of dark berserk inspired fantasy worlds, Fear and Hunger feels like it does such a good job at integrating it into the story and ESPECIALLY with the gameplay.
