Hungry Horrors, the latest quirky roguelite deckbuilder from UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, is turning the gaming world on its head with a unique twist: instead of fighting monsters, you're cooking for them. The game has just released its first playable demo on Steam, and it's already making waves. But that's not all—Clumsy Bear Studio plans to bring Hungry Horrors to mobile and consoles as well, though no official release date has been announced yet. You can experience the demo not only on Steam but also on Itch and GOG. The studio has been actively engaging with the community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come. It features two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Additionally, there are non-combat zones like the Nook and the Trove, where you can regroup and refine your culinary strategy. Check out the game in action below.
More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, you step into the shoes of a princess tasked with cooking traditional British and Irish dishes to appease folklore creatures and prevent them from turning you into their next meal. This game masterfully blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, creating a weirdly brilliant experience.
With its retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere, the game's humor shines through as you whip up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, tailored to the specific tastes of each monster. You'll encounter legendary creatures such as Jenny Greenteeth, a swamp witch with a taste for blood, and Black Annis, a hag notorious for snatching children with her iron claws. If your cooking doesn't meet their standards, you might end up on their menu.
Your challenge is to decipher what each monster likes and dislikes. From Grendel to Redcap, their cravings can range from sweet treats to an aversion to fish. The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer, where you combine ingredients and use utensils like spices and herbs to enhance your meals. Balancing flavor profiles and planning your dishes becomes crucial.
As you progress, you'll unlock new recipes and ingredients, along with legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. To learn more and try the demo, head over to the game's Steam page.
