Hungry Horrors, the latest quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, introduces a unique twist on the genre: instead of battling monsters, you'll be cooking for them. The game has just released its first playable demo on Steam, offering an exciting preview of what's to come.
Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to bring Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. Although an official release date hasn't been announced, you can dive into the demo on Steam, Itch, or GOG. The developers have been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo provides a robust introduction to the game, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Additionally, non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove offer spaces to regroup and refine your 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 keep them from turning you into their next meal. This game ingeniously blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, creating a uniquely engaging experience.
The game's retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere are complemented by its humorous take on cooking up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan to satisfy the fickle tastes of legendary monsters. From Jenny Greenteeth, the swamp witch with a penchant for blood, to Black Annis, the child-snatching hag, each creature has distinct preferences that you must cater to, or risk becoming their next course.
Your challenge lies in deciphering what each monster loves and loathes. Whether it's Grendel craving sweet treats or Redcap recoiling at the sight of fish, you'll need to strategize your culinary creations carefully. The deckbuilding aspect adds depth, requiring you to combine ingredients and use utensils like spices and herbs to enhance your dishes. Balancing flavor profiles and planning your meals is key to success.
As you progress, you'll unlock new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For a deeper dive into the game, visit its Steam page.
