Hungry Horrors, the latest quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is turning heads with its unique gameplay twist. In this game, you won't be battling monsters; instead, you'll be cooking up a storm to appease their voracious appetites. The first playable demo has just been released on Steam, giving players a taste of what's to come.
Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to expand Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. While an official release date hasn't been announced, eager fans can dive into the demo on Steam, Itch, or GOG. The studio has been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo offers a substantial preview of the game, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Players can also explore non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, where they can regroup and refine their culinary strategies.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you take on the role of a princess tasked with preparing traditional British and Irish dishes to satisfy fearsome folklore creatures and keep them from turning you into their next meal. This game masterfully blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, creating a uniquely entertaining experience.
The game's retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere are complemented by its humorous tone. You'll be whipping up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, aiming to meet the specific tastes of each monster. From Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, to Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws, these creatures have haunted folklore for centuries. Fail to satisfy their cravings, and you might find yourself on the menu!
Your challenge is to decipher the culinary preferences of each monster, from Grendel's sweet tooth to Redcap's aversion to fish. The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer, as you combine ingredients and use utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes. Balancing flavor profiles and planning your culinary creations are key to success.
As you advance, you'll unlock a variety of new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For more details, head over to the game's Steam page and immerse yourself in the world of Hungry Horrors.
