Hungry Horrors, an exciting new roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, has just released its first playable demo on Steam, and it's capturing attention with its unique twist. Instead of battling monsters, you'll be cooking for them to satisfy their monstrous appetites. The game is slated to expand to mobile and console platforms after its PC debut, though an official release date has yet to be announced. You can experience the demo not only on Steam but also on Itch and GOG. Clumsy Bear Studio has been actively engaging with the gaming community, showcasing Hungry Horrors at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo offers a comprehensive preview of what's to come, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Additionally, there are non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, where players can regroup and refine their culinary strategies.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you take on the role 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 combines deckbuilding mechanics with culinary arts, resulting in a uniquely engaging experience.
The game's retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere are complemented by its humorous tone. You'll be cooking dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, carefully tailoring them to the specific tastes of each monster. From Jenny Greenteeth, the blood-thirsty swamp witch, to Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws, you'll need to ensure your culinary creations meet their high standards or risk becoming their next course.
Understanding the preferences and aversions of each creature is key. You'll encounter legendary figures like Grendel and Redcap, each with their own peculiar cravings. One might crave sweet treats, while another might detest fish.
The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer to the game. You'll combine ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes, carefully balancing flavors and planning your culinary creations.
As you advance, you'll unlock new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For a deeper dive into the game, be sure to visit the Hungry Horrors Steam page.
