About the Game

Once, our planet lived in peace and harmony.

Then came Z’eeth the Terrible — a ravenous cosmic being who feeds on worlds themselves. Faced with total destruction, the galaxy discovered one unlikely weakness: the humble cheeseburger.

In The Hunger of Z’eeth, your mission is simple — and dangerous.

You must feed Z’eeth burgers again and again, lulling him into a distracted, overstuffed stupor. Only when he’s tired and unfocused can you strike back. Attack too early, and Z’eeth will realize your plan… and retaliate.

Gameplay features include:

  • A timing-based action loop: feed burgers, track progress, and attack strategically

  • A visible burger counter (for example, 0/50) that shows how close Z’eeth is to becoming sluggish

  • Increasing challenge as Z’eeth reacts to your actions

  • Win and fail states with risk-reward gameplay

  • Full mouse/keyboard controls

Additional content, balancing, and polish will be added during Early Access, but the core gameplay loop is already fully playable.
