About the Game

A Deliciously Twisted Adventure Awaits!

Step into a world where every bite has consequences—and every battle brings you closer to redemption.

Beastly Bites follows a starving young woman cursed by the Food God and transformed into a supernatural food-human hybrid.  

To reclaim her humanity, she must battle food-themed monsters across magical realms, ranging from colorful festival streets to the grand temple. Her journey of redemption and confrontation is driven by fast-paced combat with an oversized chopstick!

Gameplay Features

Dynamic Chopstick Combat: Players wield an oversized chopstick to execute fast-paced, rhythmic combos, counters, and dodges, rewarding skill and timing.

Transformation Progression: The protagonist gradually restores her human form as she defeats food-based foes, providing both narrative and gameplay progression.

Unique Food Foes: Battle against imaginative enemies inspired by cursed food dishes, each with unique mechanics and designs.

Immersive Environmental Storytelling: Explore a surreal, magical realm filled with visually rich and narratively engaging locations such as abandoned festival grounds, mystical lantern-lit gardens, and the Food God’s grand temple.
