About the Game

Story

In a world devastated by hunger, where even the wealthiest have nothing to eat, humanity has resorted to cannibalism to survive. The first victims were the elderly and those who were not skilled enough to defend themselves. Next, in the list of the weak, comes the turn of the children. They are easy prey for adults: slow, trusting, and lacking the strength and malice their hunters possess. The adults, accustomed to previous killings, have lost any trace of humanity and are desperately hunting them down.

In this context, Hansel and Gretel are abandoned by their father to avoid temptation. Gretel, the elder and responsible sibling, must find a way to survive and a safe path back home.

Gameplay

  • Survival: Resources are limited and must be managed wisely. Collect apples, stones, and other weapons to face enemies and survive.

  • Fight or Flee: Even if you’re at a disadvantage, you’re not defenseless. Use any weapons at hand or run when there’s no other choice.

  • Stealth: Hide behind bushes and structures to avoid detection, distract enemies, and infiltrate to collect loot.
