Get ready to dive into the deliciously quirky world of Hungry Horrors, a new roguelite deckbuilder from Clumsy Bear Studio, based in the UK. In this unique twist on the genre, you won't be battling monsters; instead, you'll be cooking up a storm to satisfy their voracious appetites. The first playable demo of Hungry Horrors is now available on Steam, giving players a taste of what's to come.
Clumsy Bear Studio plans to expand Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms following its PC debut. While an official release date hasn't been announced, you can explore the demo not only on Steam but also on Itch and GOG. The developers have been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo offers a substantial preview, 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 like the Nook and the Trove, perfect spots to regroup and refine your culinary strategy.
In Hungry Horrors, you take on the role of a princess tasked with preparing traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures and keep them from turning on you. The game masterfully blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, creating a uniquely engaging experience.
With its retro pixel art and gothic atmosphere, the game shines through its humor. You'll be whipping up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, striving to meet the exacting tastes of each monster. From Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, to Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws, you must ensure your culinary creations hit the mark, or you might find yourself on their menu!
As you navigate the game, you'll need to decipher what each monster loves and loathes. Encounter legends like Grendel and Redcap, each with their peculiar cravings—some may adore sweet treats while others recoil at the mere sight of fish.
The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer to the gameplay. You'll combine ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes, carefully balancing flavor profiles and planning your culinary creations.
Progress through the game to unlock more recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For a closer look at Hungry Horrors, visit their Steam page.
