Clumsy Bear Studio is releasing Hungry Horrors into Steam Early Access in a little over a week, on 19 January 2026.
Hungry Horrors is a card-based adventure inspired by British and Irish folklore, where players must keep terrifying creatures fed using traditional regional dishes. There is no combat. Every card played is a meal served, and each turn is about keeping a Horror fed before it reaches you.
After a strong demo reception and months of iteration driven by community feedback, the Early Access release marks the next major step for the project, expanding its systems, content, and progression while continuing to involve players directly in development.
Hungry Horrors launches in Early Access on Steam on 19 January 2026. Available for PC (Windows, Mac, Linux) and Steam Deck. Other platforms will be considered after the PC release.

At launch, the Early Access version of Hungry Horrors will feature:
Five playable biomes: Caves, Woods, Bogs, Meadows, and the Town, plus the Dungeon and the Kitchen
