Hungry Horrors, the latest quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is making waves in the gaming community. Unlike traditional roguelites where you battle monsters, in Hungry Horrors, your mission is to cook for them and satisfy their monstrous appetites. The game's first playable demo has just been released on Steam, giving players a tantalizing taste 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 fans can dive into the demo available on Steam, 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 robust 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 step into the shoes of a princess tasked with preparing traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures and prevent them from turning you into their next meal. The game ingeniously blends deckbuilding mechanics with culinary arts, creating a uniquely engaging experience.
Set against a backdrop of retro pixel art and gothic aesthetics, the game's humor shines through as you whip up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, catering to the finicky tastes of legendary monsters. From Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, to Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws, each creature has distinct preferences that you must satisfy to avoid becoming their next course.
As you navigate the game, you'll need to discern what each monster loves and loathes. Whether it's Grendel craving sweet treats or Redcap recoiling at the sight of fish, understanding their tastes is crucial. The deckbuilding aspect adds depth, requiring you to strategically combine ingredients, spices, and herbs to craft meals that balance flavor profiles and meet the monsters' demands.
Progressing through Hungry Horrors unlocks new recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts, and rescued familiars, enhancing your culinary arsenal. For a deeper dive into the game, visit its Steam page.
