In Fear and Hunger, The literary figure of the king in yellow has almost become a trope in survival horror, being prominent themes in both Signalis and Fear and Hunger recently, and arguably in Dark Souls too. But I’ve been fascinated with this figure since hearing about it. A mysterious play about a king that drives anyone insane that reads it. The mystery of the king is almost as allure as actually knowing him, the lack of lore and information about him only deepens his mysterious allure.

In game the King in Yellow will only appear if the player leads Legard to his ultimate vain and selfish goal of ascending to godhood. Encountered as the final boss leading to ending C “The Yellow King”, assuming the player rejected the kings offer to kneel and submit to him.
