That’s Dread Hunger, in early access now

Here’s a great idea for a game: eight seamen set out on an Arctic expedition, but they need to keep stopping their ship to scavenge for fuel and supplies, and also two of the seamen are unholy traitors out to sabotage the crew. That’s the idea behindDread Hunger, a first-person mix of survival and hidden role games which launched into early access last week. It looks pretty neat! And The Terror made the concept seem such fun.

Sounds a bit likeProject Winter, but in first-person and you get to drive a boat. I do like that you actually get to steer the ship, it’s not just a premise. And I like that lovely blue ice.

Dread Hunger is availablein Steam Early Accessfor £19.49/€20.99/$24.99. The devs expect the early access period will last 6-8 months while they add new maps, characters, weapons, and more. Early access plans can always slip, though who even waits for multiplayer games to leave early access before playing anymore?
