Hungry Horrors, the innovative roguelite deckbuilder from UK's Clumsy Bear Studio, introduces a delightful twist to the genre. Instead of battling monsters, players find themselves cooking traditional British and Irish dishes to appease a variety of folklore creatures. The game has recently launched its first playable demo on Steam, with plans to expand to mobile and console platforms. While an official release date remains under wraps, eager fans can dive into the demo available on Steam, Itch, and GOG. The developers have actively engaged with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.

The Steam demo offers a robust preview of Hungry Horrors, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs for interaction. Players can also explore non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, perfect for regrouping and refining their culinary strategy.

More About Hungry Horrors

In Hungry Horrors, players assume the role of a princess tasked with cooking to satisfy the appetites of legendary creatures from folklore. The game uniquely blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, all wrapped in a retro pixel art style with gothic undertones. Humor plays a significant role, with players cooking dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan to cater to the finicky tastes of monsters such as Jenny Greenteeth, a swamp witch with a taste for blood, and Black Annis, a hag known for snatching children with her iron claws. Failing to meet their culinary expectations could lead to dire consequences.

Players must decipher the preferences and aversions of each creature, from Grendel to Redcap, tailoring their dishes to satisfy their unique cravings. The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer, where players combine ingredients and use utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance their meals, carefully balancing flavors and planning their culinary creations.

As players advance, they unlock new recipes and ingredients, alongside legendary artifacts and rescued familiars, enriching their gameplay experience. For those intrigued by Hungry Horrors, a visit to its Steam page is highly recommended.
