The fun is undeniable: 33 players call it out first. Yet a stubborn 39 mentions warn about bugs, overshadowing every other flaw.

What it's about: Carnival Hunt est un jeu d'horreur asymétrique à la première personne en 5 contre 1. Cinq Lapins mécaniques doivent coopérer, gérer leurs clés bruyantes et fuir un carnaval en perpétuel changement, tandis qu'un joueur les traque en tant que Monstre du Carnaval.
