13 OCTOBER 2026 – Clumsy Bear Studio's culinary adventure Hungry Horrors is out today in its full 1.0 version on Steam! After two and a half years of development and a 98% Very Positive rating from players, it's time to serve up the complete game.
Hungry Horrors is a card-based deckbuilding adventure inspired by British & Irish folklore, where players face down terrifying creatures not to defeat them, but to feed them. Every card played is a meal served, and each encounter is a race to keep a Horror fed before it reaches you and feeds on you instead.

In Hungry Horrors, you play as a spoilt princess forced into action when a ravenous curse spreads across her kingdom and a dragon awakens at its heart. To save the realm, she must perfect her cooking and feed the Horrors drawn from British and Irish legend, under the watchful supervision of a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cat who never misses a chance to comment.

Each encounter is about feeding Horrors rather than fighting them, balancing hunger, flavour cravings, and taste chains while upgrading dishes with seasonings. Cookware, spices and artefacts collected along the way reshape each run, as you discover events and legendary characters throughout the journey.
Every Horror, NPC, and artefact is rooted in regional folklore, from well-known figures to obscure local tales. Every dish is based on an authentic recipe, many of which can still be found in pubs today.

The game blends turn-based strategy with a strong sense of place, wrapped in colourful 90s-inspired pixel art and accompanied by an original, whimsical score composed by Henry Taylor.
