Hungry Horrors, the latest quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, introduces a refreshing twist to the genre: instead of battling monsters, you cook for them. The game's first playable demo has recently been released on Steam, with plans to expand to mobile and console platforms. Although no official release date has been announced, you 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 offers a comprehensive preview of what's to come, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs for interaction. Additionally, non-combat zones like the Nook and the Trove provide spaces to regroup and refine your culinary strategy.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you play as a princess tasked with preparing traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures and prevent them from turning against you. This unique blend of deckbuilding and culinary arts is both innovative and engaging. The game's retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere are complemented by its humorous approach to cooking, featuring dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, tailored to the specific tastes of each monster.
You'll encounter legendary creatures like Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws. Mastering the art of satisfying these creatures' peculiar preferences is crucial, as failing to do so might land you on their menu. From Grendel to Redcap, each monster has unique cravings that you must learn and cater to.
The deckbuilding aspect adds strategic depth, allowing you to combine ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes. As you progress, you'll unlock new recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts, and even rescued familiars. For a closer look at the game, visit their Steam page.
