Get ready for a deliciously different gaming experience with Hungry Horrors, a unique roguelite deckbuilder from the UK's Clumsy Bear Studio. Unlike traditional roguelites where you battle monsters, in Hungry Horrors, you'll be cooking up a storm to satiate the hunger of quirky folklore creatures. The game has just launched its first playable demo on Steam, and it's already making waves with gamers eager to dive into this culinary adventure.
Following its PC debut, Clumsy Bear Studio plans to bring Hungry Horrors to mobile and consoles, though an official release date remains under wraps. For now, you can explore the demo not only on Steam but also on Itch and GOG. The studio has been actively engaging with the gaming community, showcasing the game at events like the London Game Festival 2025.
The Steam demo offers a tantalizing taste of what's to come, featuring 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 menu strategies.
