Hunger

Hunger is a gameplay mechanic that is only present in Constant worlds. It is a debuff that appears immediately after world creation. It does not have actual effect at first, but will turn into a debuff that reduce the player's stats, and eventually makes the player continuously lose health if no actions are taken.

If food items are consumed while the debuff is active, it will disappear for the duration of the food buff.

At the beginning of each stage, a corresponding emote will appear.
