Feed the Beasts: Dive Into Hungry Horrors, Arriving January 19, 2026
Get ready to step into the whimsical world of Hungry Horrors, a unique roguelite deck-building game from Clumsy Bear Studio, launching in Steam Early Access on January 19, 2026. This game flips the script on traditional combat mechanics by putting cooking at its heart. Instead of slashing and shooting, you’ll be serving up traditional British and Irish dishes to appease mythical Horrors drawn from folklore. Talk about a tasty twist!
Culinary Gameplay Mechanics
In Hungry Horrors, you play as a spoiled princess grappling with a ravenous curse plaguing her kingdom. The only way to keep these beasts at bay is to whip up 42 real recipes, including classics like Haggis and Stargazy Pie. Players will manage flavors, seasonings, and artifacts to ensure every dish is a hit, all while navigating through a variety of biomes like Caves, Woods, and Bogs. This creative culinary twist promises a fresh take on the deck-building genre, where flavor mastery is key to survival.
Folklore Meets Gameplay
The game is not just about cooking; it’s steeped in rich British and Irish folklore. You’ll encounter 20 different Horrors, including the Dullahan and Jenny Greenteeth, each with unique fatality animations. Alongside these creatures, eight legendary figures like Herne the Hunter will guide you on your journey, adding layers of narrative depth. As you progress through the Book of Taliesin, new cooking mechanics and unique interactions will unlock, keeping the gameplay engaging and dynamic.
Fans of indie games and folklore alike should keep an eye on Hungry Horrors as it serves up a blend of cozy vibes and dark humor, all while challenging you to think creatively about cooking. A demo is available now on Steam for those eager to get a taste of this innovative deck-builder.
