Backed by 98% Very Positive reviews, the card-based deckbuilding adventure leaves Steam Early Access after 2.5 years in development.

22 SEPTEMBER 2026 – ​ Clumsy Bear Studio has rung the dinner bell to announce that Hungry Horrors will launch its full 1.0 version on Steam on 13 October 2026.

Hungry Horrors is a card-based deckbuilding adventure inspired by British & Irish folklore, where players face down terrifying creatures not to defeat them, but to feed them. Every card played is a meal served, and each encounter is a race to keep a Horror fed before it reaches you and feeds on you instead.

Since entering Early Access in January 2026, Hungry Horrors has held a 98% Very Positive rating across 250+ Steam reviews, the result of two and a half years of development by Clumsy Bear Studio‘s two developers.

A look at the menu – What’s included in 1.0?

At launch, Hungry Horrors will feature:

• 8 playable biomes from across the British Isles, from green meadows to moody highlands
• 34 folklore Horrors, including Dullahan, Jenny Greenteeth, and Queen Mab
• 62 playable dishes based on real traditional recipes from Britain and Ireland
• 13 legendary characters, such as Herne the Hunter and the Wulver
• Seasonings, cookware, potions, and artefacts that alter how you play
• The Book of Taliesin meta progression system
• Two modes: Campaign, a roguelite story mode (Vanilla or Spicy difficulty), and Banquet, a shorter, harder roguelike with its own difficulty levels
• 33 unique death animations for when a Horror gets to you
• Original music composed by Henry Taylor
• Steam Deck Verified, with full controller, mouse-only, or keyboard-only support

About the Game

In Hungry Horrors, you play as a spoilt princess forced into action when a ravenous curse spreads across her kingdom and a dragon awakens at its heart. To save the realm, she must perfect her cooking and feed the Horrors drawn from British and Irish legend, under the watchful supervision of a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cat who never misses a chance to comment.

Each encounter is about feeding Horrors rather than fighting them, balancing hunger, flavour cravings, and taste chains while upgrading dishes with seasonings. Cookware, spices and artefacts collected along the way reshape each run, as you discover events and legendary characters throughout the journey.

Every Horror, NPC, and artefact is rooted in regional folklore, from well-known figures to obscure local tales. Every dish is based on an authentic recipe, many of which can still be found in pubs today.

The game blends turn-based strategy with a strong sense of place, wrapped in colourful 90s-inspired pixel art and accompanied by an original, whimsical score composed by Henry Taylor.

Key Features

• You don’t fight monsters, you feed them
• Two modes: a story-driven Campaign and the punishing Banquet roguelike
• Every card is a traditional recipe from Britain and Ireland
• Every monster, NPC and artefact comes from the tales, legends and folklore of this region
• 33 unique death animations, colourful 90s pixel art and whimsical bespoke music
• Blends turn-based strategy, cozy pixel art indie charm, and dark folkloric horror.

About the Studio

Clumsy Bear Studio is a self-funded indie studio based in the UK, made up of two developers Scott Fitzsimmons & Jerzy Pilch. Hungry Horrors has been in development for two and a half years and is being built entirely in Godot and Aseprite.

After a year in Early Access and accumulating 300,000 wishlists on Steam, Free Lives and Devolver Digital’s chaotic physics brawler Stick it to the Stickman has hit 1.0 and is ready to ascend to new corporate heights.

In this physics-based fighting game you will dramatically pummel heaps of red stickmen to become the boss. Choose from hundreds of unique moves to construct the perfect combat machine and fight your way to the top of the corporate ladder.

Punch, kick, slice, dice, burn, blast, staple-gun, fireball, jackhammer, and chainsaw your way up to the top, solo or with a ‘friend’, in a truly hostile work environment. And remember: every red stickman you defeat is one dead red stickman closer to a promotion!

Version 1.0 of Stick it to the Stickman features two all-new game modes. In Billionaire Bunker, fight your way from the top to the very bottom using new passives and special moves, and face a slightly ridiculous final boss. In Neurolink, choose from 9 archetypes and use mind powers to survive. 1.0 also includes new characters, bosses, level segments, and more.

Stick it to the Stickman is available now on PC. Standard price is $16.99, but the game will be 50% off for a week after launch.

Mad Metal, the vehicle combat shooter where you slow time and take enemy cars apart one component at a time, is out now on Steam.

TORONTO, ON – September 21, 2026. What happens if you take the worlds of Mad Max, Twisted Metal and Interstate ’76, drop a player into them and ask who they become out there? Indie developer Hakim Elayday started there and kept going. Two and a half years later, Mad Metal is out now on Steam, a vehicle combat shooter that gives players one hell of an explosive joyride. 

While most auto-combat shooter games ask how hard you can hit, Mad Metal asks what you want gone. Dead Aim slows time mid-chase, and a fight becomes a choice rather than a contest. Take the fuel tank, and the explosion finishes the job for you. Take a wheel, and the car that was hunting you a second ago slides into whatever is closest. The enemy is built the same way you are, so the thing bearing down on you has a tank and a wheel and a driver too, and it is closing while you decide which one you want gone.

You don’t have to do it alone, and there are multiple game modes to experience.  Extraction drops two players into escalating waves that end in a boss fight and an airlift that only arrives if they reach the zone; open-world invasion puts you in a stranger’s game where the only real decision is the one you make on arrival, and deathmatch strips it back to a 1v1 with nothing to work out at all. Ranked and unranked MMR matches players of similar skill, so the fight is as casual or as serious as you want it.

Driving all of it is the campaign: eight voiced and narrated missions that follow Jack through an America where the machines no longer kill people, converting them instead into something built to inherit what is left. His wife is already gone, his daughter is still out there, and the further he goes looking, the harder the story gets on him about what he is turning into.

The soundtrack is paying attention the whole way, shifting as the car takes damage. It was produced with Scarlet Moon’s Jayson Napolitano and features singer/songwriter Stefani Keogh alongside musicians Frank van ‘t Ende and Idem Grey.

KEY FEATURES

• DISMANTLE ENEMY VEHICLES WITH DEAD AIM by slowing time and targeting individual components, taking off a fuel tank, a wheel or a door rather than wearing down the whole car.
• DRIVE THROUGH A NARRATED CAMPAIGN Take the wheel and fight your way through an America where the machines abduct rather than kill, in search of a daughter they have already taken.
• SURVIVE EXTRACTION IN CO-OP against escalating waves that end in a boss fight and an airlift that only arrives if you reach the zone.
• INVADE ANOTHER PLAYER’S OPEN WORLD and decide on arrival whether to turn up as friend or foe.
• FIGHT 1V1 DEATHMATCHES with ranked and unranked MMR matching players of similar skill for casual or competitive play.
• BUILD THE CAR YOU WANT from nine base vehicles and more than eighty attachments, each altering how the vehicle sounds and handles, with a full Create Your Own Car builder and mid-run augments that push a build somewhere unplanned.
• PLAY ON STEAM DECK with full gamepad support.

Mad Metal is for anyone who grew up on car chases and demolition derbies, anyone who likes a shooter that rewards a good decision over a fast trigger, and anyone who just wants a genuinely good time behind the wheel. It is available now on Steam for $14.99, with a 20% launch discount. Players can find all the ways to play on the indie.io store.

MADRID — Sept. 21, 2026 — Xploit Tower Defense, the mixed-reality firewall vs. viruses tower defender from developer Lenya Digital and publisher AAA Game Studios, brings the battle home Meta Quest 3 on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. A new demo is now available for free on the Meta Quest Store.

Defend the world as we know it as thousands of computer viruses break through the firewall, threatening the vital memory cores keeping reality stable. Prepare airtight defenses to protect the core from crawling and airborne enemies, surveilling all sides of the room for flying enemies approaching from every angle. Destroy digitized hordes, quickly adapt to new strategies, and keep the cores untouched before the viruses spread their infection!

Build defensive structures to destroy waves of insect-like Crawlers as they forge paths towards the Neurogate mainframe. Position turrets, factoring in each weapon’s field of vision around furniture and other real-world obstacles. Prepare for flying Malworms and turret-targeting missiles, swatting them down by hand to keep structures intact. 

In the demo, position two turret variants against three of Xploit Tower Defense’s nine enemy types as waves of Basic Crawlers, Chunky Walkers, and Basic Flyers swarm the Neurogate. Survive five-minute onslaughts in Countdown Mode, then outlast their advances across one level with two difficulty modes to unlock Infinite Mode, where the invasion never stops. Fight for the longest survival time, and compare with other defenders on the global leaderboard. 

“The power of mixed reality gives us the opportunity to turn everyday objects into gamified features,” said Antonio Marín, CEO and co-founder of AAA Game Studios. “Now, couches and coffee tables are obstacles and hiding spots, and the dining room can be a personal battlefield! Xploit Tower Defense and this technology allow us to broaden our horizons of what a game can be.”

Xploit Tower Defense prepares for the invasion on November 10, 2026. The new demo is now available on Meta Quest 3 with English language support.
