After a successfully served demo launch, Hungry Horrors is back with more ingredients, more buffs, and more folklore, cooked up through community feedback.
Clumsy Bear Studio has launched a brand-new demo for Hungry Horrors as part of Steam Next Fest (13-20 October). This special update adds much more strategic depth and expands on the systems that made the first demo a hit with players, which currently holds a 96% “Very Positive” rating on Steam.
Hungry Horrors is a culinary roguelite deckbuilder where you strategically cook and serve authentic traditional dishes to legendary monsters. Your deckbuilding skills and culinary decisions determine whether you successfully satisfy your monstrous guests or become their dinner.
Coming first to PC (Steam, Itch, GOG) – release date to be announced later. With plans to bring it to mobile (iOS, Android) and consoles (Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch) also in the works.
