Hungry Horrors, the eagerly anticipated quirky roguelite deckbuilder from the UK-based Clumsy Bear Studio, introduces a refreshing twist on the genre. Instead of battling monsters, players take on the role of a princess who must cook traditional British and Irish dishes to appease hungry folklore creatures. The game's first playable demo is now available on Steam, with plans to bring it to mobile and consoles in the future. Although an official release date hasn't been announced, you can explore the demo on Steam, Itch, or GOG. Clumsy Bear Studio has been actively engaging with the 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 unique monsters to serve, two boss fights, and four NPCs to interact with. Players can also explore non-combat zones such as the Nook and the Trove, where they can regroup and refine their culinary strategy.

More About Hungry Horrors
In Hungry Horrors, players embody a princess tasked with concocting meals to satisfy legendary folklore creatures, preventing them from turning her into their next meal. The game seamlessly blends deckbuilding mechanics with culinary arts, offering a unique and humorous experience. With its retro pixel art style and gothic atmosphere, Hungry Horrors stands out for its light-hearted take on the eerie world of folklore monsters.
Players will cook dishes like Bara Brith and Cranachan, tailoring each meal to the specific tastes of creatures like Jenny Greenteeth, a blood-thirsty swamp witch, and Black Annis, a child-snatching hag. The challenge lies in discerning each monster's preferences, from sweet treats to aversion to fish, ensuring that your culinary creations keep you off their menu.
The deckbuilding aspect adds strategic depth, requiring players to combine ingredients and use utensils, spices, and herbs to enhance their dishes. Balancing flavor profiles and planning meals becomes crucial as you progress, unlocking new recipes, ingredients, legendary artifacts, and rescued familiars.
