Hungry Horrors, the latest roguelite deckbuilder from the UK's Clumsy Bear Studio, introduces a refreshing twist to the genre: instead of battling monsters, you're tasked with cooking for them. This innovative game has just released its first playable demo, now available on Steam, as well as on Itch and GOG. As the game progresses towards a full release on PC, mobile, and consoles, the studio has yet to announce an official launch date. However, fans can get a sneak peek at the game through its presence at events like the London Game Festival 2025.

The Steam demo offers a comprehensive preview of what players can expect from Hungry Horrors. It features two distinct handcrafted biomes, six unique monsters to feed, two challenging boss fights, and interactions with four NPCs. Additionally, players can explore non-combat areas such as the Nook and the Trove, where they can regroup and refine their culinary strategies.

More About Hungry Horrors

In Hungry Horrors, you play as a princess on a mission to appease folklore creatures with traditional British and Irish cuisine. The game cleverly intertwines deckbuilding mechanics with culinary arts, resulting in a uniquely engaging experience. Set against a backdrop of retro pixel art and gothic aesthetics, the game's humor shines through as you concoct dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan to satisfy the peculiar tastes of creatures like Jenny Greenteeth, a blood-thirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, a child-snatching hag with iron claws. Fail to meet their culinary expectations, and you might find yourself on the menu!

The gameplay involves deciphering the likes and dislikes of legendary figures such as Grendel and Redcap, each with their own bizarre cravings. Some may crave sweets, while others recoil at the mere thought of fish. The deckbuilding aspect adds depth, requiring you to mix ingredients and utilize utensils like spices and herbs to enhance your dishes. Strategic planning is key as you balance flavors and craft your menu.

As you advance, you'll unlock a variety of new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For more details and to try the demo, visit the game's page on Steam.
