Hungry Horrors

Description

You are a spoilt princess whose favourite hobbies are leisure, rest, and sleep, and who thinks manual labour is an activity for servants. Unfortunately, your kingdom has fallen under a ravenous curse, and every creature of British and Irish folklore has turned into a “Hungry Horrors”. With no prince showing up to save you, you reluctantly take matters into your own hands and set out to break the curse, feeding strange creatures one meal at a time. You are, predictably, not happy about it.

Cook traditional dishes, master five tastes, satisfy legendary Horrors, and unlock the secrets of a cursed kingdom. Season your cards, equip cookware, find powerful potions, rescue familiars, fish in mysterious waters, meet folkloric characters, and carve your own path through a kingdom built on old legends.

BUILD YOUR CULINARY DECK

Craft a deck of authentic British and Irish recipes, from Cranachan and Yorkshire Pudding to Jellied Eels and Toad in the Hole. Collect ingredients on your travels to cook new dishes and grow your deck. Season your cards to change their flavour and unlock powerful abilities. Equip cookware that bends the rules of every encounter, and shape your deck around the flavour chains you want to pull off.

FACE MYTHICAL MONSTERS

Encounter Jenny Greenteeth, Marool, Dullahan, Y Fad Felen, and other Horrors drawn from English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh legends. Each one has its own appetite, preferences, and hatreds. Learn about their origins and the folklore behind them. Read them right and they leave full. Read them wrong and the princess becomes the next course.

MASTER FLAVOURS AND CRAVING SYNERGIES

Every dish carries one of five flavours: salty, sour, savoury, bitter, or sweet. Match each Horror's cravings, chain the right flavours in the right order, and watch hunger snowball. Every Horror has favourites and things they despise. Learn them, exploit them, and serve the perfect meal.

EXPLORE THE BRITISH ISLES

Travel through dark woods, gloomy meadows, spooky bogs, and the misty loch. Meet legendary characters with quests to complete, trade with merchants, and uncover artefacts and cookware hidden across the kingdom. Unlock fishing to reel in new ingredients and loot. Find a familiar to follow you on your journey and sniff out potions along the way.

CHOOSE YOUR WAY TO PLAY

Take the long road in the main campaign with persistent progression, where unlocked recipes, abilities, and seasonings carry between runs. Play Vanilla for the standard experience or crank it up with Spicy mode. Stack modifiers like Culinary and Gourmet to twist each run further.

Hungry Horrors is a pixel art card game where food and fear collide. Made by two people, shaped by the community, served with a generous helping of folklore.
