Hungry Horrors, an innovative roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is turning heads with its unique premise. Unlike traditional roguelites where you battle monsters, in Hungry Horrors, you're tasked with cooking for them to satisfy their voracious appetites. The game has just released its first playable demo on Steam, offering a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
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 available on Steam, Itch, and GOG. The development team has been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo of Hungry Horrors offers a robust taste of the full experience. It features two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss encounters, and four NPCs to interact with. Additionally, there are non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, where players can regroup and refine their culinary strategies.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you step into the shoes of a princess who must concoct traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures and prevent them from turning on you. The game cleverly integrates deckbuilding with culinary arts, resulting in a delightfully quirky experience.
Set against a backdrop of retro pixel art and gothic aesthetics, the game's charm lies in its humor. You'll be preparing dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, meticulously tailored to the finicky tastes of each monster. Legendary creatures such as Jenny Greenteeth, a bloodthirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, a child-snatching hag with iron claws, await your culinary creations. Fail to please them, and you might just end up on the menu!
Your journey involves deciphering the likes and dislikes of various monsters, from Grendel to Redcap, each with their peculiar cravings. Some may crave sweet treats while others might recoil at the mere mention of fish.
The deckbuilding aspect adds a layer of strategy, requiring you to mix ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes. Balancing flavors and planning your culinary offerings is key to success. As you advance, you'll unlock new recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts, and rescued familiars.
