Carnival Hunt Launches on Steam Early Access
The early access launch introduces a wind-up mechanic that forces rabbit players to balance movement against noise, adding a strategic layer to the asymmetric horror genre.

Crytivo released the early access version of Carnival Hunt on Steam on July 24, 2026. The 5v1 asymmetric survival horror game is set in a mechanical amusement park, where rabbit dolls escape while a Carnival Monster hunts them. Early access includes two monsters and 32 procedurally generated rooms.
Carnival Hunt is now available on Steam in early access, priced at 1,980 yen with a 10 percent discount until August 7. The game pits five rabbit dolls against one Carnival Monster in a mechanical amusement park. Rabbits are wind-up toys that stop moving when their charge runs out, and rewinding each other's mechanisms makes noise that can reveal their position. Broken dolls scattered around the map let players fake death to slip past the monster.
Early access offers two monster types and a map of 32 rooms assembled through procedural generation. Crytivo plans updates adding new hunters, room types, PvE content, and a multiplayer building area called Bunny Town.
