Publisher Indieformer and developer Moravian Games will release Feed the Scorchpot on Steam on August 21 in Japan, with a global launch on August 20. The dice-rolling deck-building roguelike blends resource management inspired by Catan with Balatro-style scoring combos. A demo is available, currently in English and Czech only.
Feed the Scorchpot, the debut game from Melbourne-based Moravian Games, puts players on a medieval fantasy island where they trade 20 years of cooking for dragon protection. Each year the dragon grows hungrier and pickier, and failure means becoming the meal.
The island is laid out on a hexagonal grid inspired by Catan, with seven resource types distributed randomly across tiles. Players place farms and temples at intersections to gather resources based on dice rolls. Cooking turns shift into Balatro-like scoring, where total score multiplies fodder, flavor, and essence, with recipes and buildings bought from a shop.
The full release adds eight dragons with distinct traits, plus new dice and recipes unlocked through repeated play. The demo currently supports only English and Czech, though the full game is expected to display Japanese.
