Get ready for a unique twist on the roguelite genre with Hungry Horrors, the latest creation from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio. This quirky deckbuilder flips the script by having you cook for monsters instead of battling them. The first playable demo is now available on Steam, offering an exciting glimpse into the world of Hungry Horrors.
Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to bring Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. While an official release date remains under wraps, eager players can dive into the demo on Steam, Itch, or GOG. The developers have been actively engaging with the community, notably showcasing the game at the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo provides a robust preview of what's to come, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Additionally, players can explore non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, perfect for regrouping and refining your culinary strategies.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you step into the shoes of a princess tasked with cooking traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures. This game ingeniously blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, wrapped in a retro pixel art style with gothic undertones. The humor stands out, as you concoct dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan to satisfy the finicky palates of legendary monsters.
These creatures, such as Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, the child-snatching hag, have been haunting folklore for centuries. Your mission is to decipher each monster's unique tastes and aversions. From Grendel to Redcap, each has peculiar cravings—ranging from sweet treats to an aversion to fish.
The deckbuilding aspect adds strategic depth, as you mix ingredients and use utensils like spices and herbs to enhance your meals. Balancing flavors and planning dishes is key to success. As you progress, you'll unlock a variety of new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. Visit the Hungry Horrors Steam page to explore more.
