Step into the shoes of either the cunning Carnival Monster or the desperate Bunnies yearning for freedom. In this thrilling experience, players can choose to embody the formidable Carnival Monster, relentless in its pursuit of souls, or join forces as wind-up wooden dolls, known as Bunnies, who seek to escape the clutches of darkness.

Time is of the essence as you race against the clock to charge your wooden bodies before the Carnival Monster discovers your hiding place. Survival hinges on your ability to evade the relentless pursuit of the monstrous fiend and find a path to freedom.

Carnival Hunt offers an enticing and dynamic experience from both sides of the game. As a Carnival Monster, your initial goal is to prevent Bunnies from reaching the final level of the circus by catching them and dropping them to lower levels.
You may also snatch away their keys, hindering their progress.
Be mindful that, while you are unable to directly eliminate the Bunnies, once they reach the final stage of the game, things take a sinister turn. At this final stage, the Carnival Monster will gain the ability to rid the Bunnies for good. The health of the Carnival Monster will begin to deplete and can only be recharged by consuming the souls of Bunnies.
With these raised stakes, the Carnival Monster must strategically balance its own survival with the need to hunt.
On the other hand, the Bunnies' main objective is to escape from the confines of the cursed circus. Trapped souls inhabit these doll-like Bunnies and their survival depends on evading relentless pursuit by the Carnival Monster.
The circus itself is comprised of multiple levels, each presenting unique objectives that must be completed by the Bunnies.
Once a player finishes their objective, they can assist others in advancing by opening shortcuts to the next level. In the face of danger, if a Bunny gets caught, there is still hope for salvation. A friend can be saved by either locating a new key to wind up the Bunny or by sacrificing your own key. This ultimate act of sacrifice does come at the cost of losing a portion of your own life energy.
The gameplay in Carnival Hunt is a tense battle of wits and action; both sides are constantly driven by the need to outsmart their opponents and achieve their respective objectives.
