Carnival Hunt is a psychological action-horror game with a first-person view and asymmetrical multiplayer, set in a circus. In Carnival Hunt, players are divided into survivors and a killer pursuing them. The first to act are the clockwork rabbits, while the killer will be one of the carnival monsters with unique skills. The premise of the game is that each character (including the survivors and the killer) uses winding keys to move around. If these keys wear out, the creature will die. The rabbits' task is to collect as many keys as possible and try not to fall into the hands of the carnival monster until its charge runs out. If the rabbit dies, it will still have a chance to recover. To do this, the other player must find the winding key and use it to revive an ally. Survivors will be able to pretend to be dead, as well as cooperate to complete certain tasks.
