Hungry Horrors Leaves Early Access With 34 Monsters And 62 Dish Cards
A two-person, self-funded English studio built its roguelite around England and Ireland's regional folklore and real pub recipes, which gives the deck-building loop a specific cultural source rather than a generic fantasy one.

Clumsy Bear Studio has released version 1.0 of Hungry Horrors, a cooking and deck-building roguelite for PC via Steam. The player is a selfish princess who feeds legendary monsters instead of fighting them, matching dish cards to each creature's hunger and cravings. The full release includes 34 monsters, 62 dish cards, 13 legendary characters across 8 areas, and Campaign and Banquet modes.
The version 1.0 build adds 8 areas spanning the British Isles, from green meadows to gloomy highlands, and a roster of monsters drawn from English and Irish folklore including the Dullahan, Jenny Greenteeth, and Queen Mab. Dishes are based on real recipes, among them cranachan, Yorkshire pudding, and jellied eels. A sharp-tongued cat narrates the princess's run. The studio says the game was made over two and a half years by two developers and was self-funded, and the release supports Japanese.
