Dread Hunger

In each expedition, six Explorers work together to guide their ship through the Arctic, while two hidden traitors secretly undermine the crew. Explorers must identify whom to trust as the traitors use sabotage and dark powers to disrupt the voyage.

Explorers gather food and materials, build fires to stay warm, hunt animals, and fend off predators. The crew also prepares meals and manages supplies; different roles, such as captain, engineer, cook, and doctor, have distinct responsibilities.

Players steer a 19th-century warship around icebergs and gather coal to fuel its boiler. A day-and-night cycle, whiteouts, and a looming blizzard add pressure as the crew tries to keep the expedition moving.

Players who praise Dread Hunger often highlight the tension of balancing cooperation with suspicion, and the conversations and unpredictable outcomes that come from hidden traitors. Several fondly recall playing with friends and the challenge of coordinating survival tasks and managing scarce resources. The reviews are mixed overall, with many also lamenting the end of official server support and the difficulty of finding a group.
