Hungry Horrors Deckbuilder Demo Hits Steam, Mobile Soon

Hungry Horrors is an upcoming unconventional roguelite deckbuilder developed by UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio. With a refreshing twist, you don't battle monsters - instead, you cook meals to satisfy their ravenous appetites. The studio has recently launched its first playable demo on Steam.

Following its PC debut, Hungry Horrors will expand to mobile and console platforms. While an official release date remains unannounced, players can currently experience the demo on Steam, Itch.io and GOG. The developers have actively participated in community events, including showcasing the game at London Game Festival 2025.

The Steam demo offers a substantial preview of Hungry Horrors' gameplay, featuring two meticulously designed biomes, six hungry creatures to feed, two challenging boss encounters and four interactive NPCs. The game also includes peaceful hubs like the Nook and the Trove where players can reorganize their culinary strategies.

Gameplay Premise

Players assume the role of a princess who must prepare traditional British and Irish dishes to appease dangerous folklore creatures. This unique fusion of deckbuilding mechanics and cooking simulation delivers an unexpectedly brilliant experience.

The game's retro pixel art aesthetic combines with dark gothic themes, while its standout feature remains the clever humor. Players will craft regional specialties like Bara Brith and Cranachan, carefully catering to each monster's particular palate.

Legendary Creatures & Mechanics

The game features terrifying figures from folklore including Jenny Greenteeth, the bloodthirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, the child-snatching hag with iron claws. Failure to satisfy their culinary demands might make you their next meal!

Gameplay involves deciphering each creature's food preferences. You'll encounter legendary beings like Grendel and Redcap, each with bizarre tastes - some adore sweets while others detest seafood.

The deckbuilding system innovatively combines ingredients with cooking tools like spices and herbs to enhance dishes. Strategic planning is crucial as players must carefully balance flavor profiles when preparing meals.

Progression unlocks additional recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts and rescued familiars. Visit the Steam page for more details about this culinary adventure.
