Players selected for the previous test will retain access. Others can request a spot through the game’s Steam page, and GOOD FUN CORPORATION will also bring in content creators during the beta.

The studio describes this as an expanded version of its earlier tests. It plans to use the larger group to check whether its servers can handle traffic from around the world. An unrestricted open beta for everyone has been delayed until the team makes further adjustments.

HUNGER sends players into plague-ravaged Napoleonic Europe, where a mysterious bacterium and monstrous enemies threaten each expedition. Its mix of horror, RPG progression, and melee and ranged combat gives the extraction shooter a distinct setting and combat approach to test during the beta.
