Hungry Horrors, the innovative roguelite deckbuilder from UK's Clumsy Bear Studio, is set to redefine the genre with a unique twist: instead of battling monsters, you'll be cooking for them. The game has just released its first playable demo on Steam, offering gamers a tantalizing glimpse into its world. As you await its full release, you can also explore the demo on Itch and GOG.
Following its debut on PC, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to expand Hungry Horrors to mobile and console platforms. Although an official release date remains under wraps, the studio's active participation in community events, such as the London Game Festival 2025, keeps the excitement brewing.
The Steam demo of Hungry Horrors offers a comprehensive preview, featuring two handcrafted biomes, six hungry monsters to cater to, two thrilling boss fights, and interactions with four unique NPCs. Additionally, there are non-combat zones like the Nook and the Trove, where you can strategize and refine your culinary creations.

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 prevent them from turning you into their next meal. This game masterfully blends deckbuilding with culinary arts, creating a uniquely engaging experience.
Set against a backdrop of retro pixel art and gothic aesthetics, the game's humor shines through as you whip up dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, tailored to the finicky 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 perfect your recipes to avoid becoming their next course.
Your journey involves deciphering the likes and dislikes of legendary creatures such as Grendel and Redcap, each with their peculiar cravings. One might crave sweet treats, while another recoils at the mere sight of fish.
The deckbuilding aspect adds a strategic layer, where you combine ingredients and utilize utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance your dishes. Balancing flavor profiles and planning your culinary strategy is key to success.
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 the game, visit the Hungry Horrors Steam page.
