From Press Release:
SEATTLE – June 11, 2026 – tinyBuild (Graveyard Keeper, Potion Craft, Kingmakers) and Scythe Studios, the creators of the acclaimed indie horror Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, welcome you back to the grill in Happy’s Humble BURGATORY, the first-person cooking horror for 1-4 players set in the shared Scythe universe, coming to Steam on July 16. To celebrate the announcement of BURGATORY, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm will be free to keep on Steam for a week, starting today.
Grill burgers, serve customers, and hit your quota before the kitchen turns into a nightmare. When Asset Joy begins her hunt, try to escape alive and extract your hard-earned cash to survive another shift.
Key Features
- COOK, SERVE, HIT YOUR QUOTA: You and your crew are hired to participate in an experiment run by the Paragon Corporation. It sounds like a standard fast-food gig: grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, work the register, hit your quota, and keep the customers happy.
- ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE: Every shift is a ticking clock – the kitchen always wins eventually. Once the simulation collapses, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. The iconic mascot is back for blood – and you have only one chance to escape!
- THE WALLS ARE LISTENING: The game reacts to what you say on the mic. Speak the wrong word, and Asset Joy will hear you. Speak the right incantation, and the kitchen warps. Learn how to use your words to your advantage, and what to never say aloud if you don’t want to anger the beast.
- EVERY SHIFT IS UNIQUELY UNHINGED: 35+ modifiers ensure each run goes off the rails in a unique way. Rush Hour brings additional customers for a more profitable yet more chaotic shift. Profanity Policy punishes the team every time someone swears on the mic. Back Burner changes all recipes mid-run. You never know what to expect next.
- EXTRACT YOUR HARD-EARNED CASH: Escape alive, and your earnings come with you. Spend them on boosters, sacrifice them to the ascension ritual to move the story forward, or gamble them on harder contracts for bigger payouts.
- HAPPY’S HUMBLE SAGA CONTINUES: Burgatory is the next chapter in the Scythe Studios Universe, and a direct successor to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm – peeling back another layer of the Paragon Corporation’s reality-warping simulation program. Ready to go down the rabbit hole again?
Happy’s Humble Burgatory will launch on Steam July 16. Follow the developers on X to stay in the loop.
