Hungry Horrors, the upcoming quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is set to redefine the genre with a unique twist: instead of fighting monsters, you'll be cooking for them to satiate their hunger. The game has just launched its first playable demo on Steam, offering gamers a tantalizing taste of what's to come.
Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to expand Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. Although no official release date has been announced, you can experience the demo on Steam, Itch, or GOG. The developers have been actively engaging with the community, notably showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo provides a comprehensive preview, 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 play as 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 with culinary arts, delivering a delightfully quirky experience.
With its retro pixel art and gothic atmosphere, the game's humor stands out, as you concoct dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan to satisfy the finicky tastes of various monsters. These creatures, steeped in legend, include the likes of Jenny Greenteeth, a swamp witch with a penchant for blood, and Black Annis, a child-snatching hag with iron claws. Fail to meet their culinary expectations, and you might end up on their menu.
Your journey involves discerning the preferences of each monster, from Grendel to Redcap, catering to their unique cravings, which might range from sweet treats to an aversion to fish. The deckbuilding aspect adds a layer of strategy, where you blend ingredients and use utensils like spices and herbs to enhance your meals, carefully balancing flavor profiles and planning your dishes.
As you advance, you'll unlock a variety of new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. For a deeper dive into Hungry Horrors, visit their Steam page.
