Hungry Horrors

Hungry Horrors is a pixel art card game about a spoilt princess who prefers leisure, rest and sleep to manual labour. When a ravenous curse turns creatures from British and Irish folklore into Hungry Horrors, no prince comes to save her, so she sets out to break the curse by feeding them one meal at a time.

You cook traditional dishes, build a culinary deck and learn what each Horror craves. Along the way, you explore a kingdom rooted in old legends, meet folkloric characters and uncover its secrets.

Build your deck

Craft a deck of British and Irish recipes, including Cranachan, Yorkshire Pudding, Jellied Eels and Toad in the Hole. Collect ingredients as you travel to cook new dishes and expand your deck. Season cards to change their flavour and unlock abilities, and equip cookware that bends the rules of encounters. Shape your deck around the flavour chains you want to make.

Feed the Horrors

You encounter Jenny Greenteeth, Marool, Dullahan, Y Fad Felen and other Horrors from English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh legends. Each has its own appetite, preferences and hatreds; learn their origins and folklore to discover what to serve. A well-matched meal leaves a Horror satisfied, while a mistake can make the princess its next course.

Each dish has one of five flavours: salty, sour, savoury, bitter or sweet. Match a Horror’s cravings and chain flavours in the right order to build up hunger. Every Horror has favourite flavours and ones it despises, which you can use to plan the meal.

Explore the kingdom

Travel through dark woods, gloomy meadows, spooky bogs and a misty loch. Meet legendary characters and complete their quests, trade with merchants, and search the kingdom for artefacts and cookware. Unlock fishing to catch ingredients and loot, and find a familiar to accompany you and sniff out potions.

Choose your mode

The main campaign offers persistent progression: recipes, abilities and seasonings you unlock carry between runs. Play in Vanilla for the standard experience or choose Spicy mode. You can also combine modifiers such as Culinary and Gourmet to change each run.
