Feed the Scorchpot, a hand-drawn roguelike combining tabletop-inspired strategy, dice customization and recipe building, is now available on PC through Steam. Developed by Czech independent studio Moravian Games and published by Indieformer, the game challenges players to survive a 20-year agreement with a demanding dragon by preparing increasingly elaborate meals.
The debut title blends resource management and strategic scoring with a push-your-luck structure in which every decision can determine whether the player survives another year—or becomes part of the dragon’s dinner.
Feed the Scorchpot Brings Tabletop Strategy to Steam
At the center of Feed the Scorchpot is an unusual contract: a dragon agrees to protect the player for 20 years, but in exchange, it expects to be served dinner every year.
Failing to satisfy the creature can have serious consequences, creating escalating pressure as each run progresses.
Gameplay draws inspiration from traditional tabletop games as well as modern roguelikes. Players roll dice to collect ingredients, discover recipes and develop a hex-grid island that gradually becomes a complex scoring system.
Dragon Becomes More Demanding Each Year
Surviving the full agreement becomes increasingly difficult because the dragon grows hungrier and more selective as the years pass.
Players can attempt to complete their contract early and pursue higher scores or continue taking risks as the dragon’s requirements become harder to satisfy.
That structure introduces a strategic trade-off between securing progress and pushing a successful run further in search of larger rewards.
Players can also pet the dragon, adding a lighter interaction to an otherwise potentially dangerous relationship.
More Than 50 Buildings Create Complex Combinations
The island-building system includes more than 50 structures, including farms, shrines and harbors. Buildings can interact with one another across the expanding hex-based map to produce increasingly powerful scoring combinations.
Rather than simply collecting resources, players are encouraged to arrange their island strategically and identify combinations capable of meeting the dragon’s growing demands.
The game’s environments, buildings, ingredients and meals use a hand-drawn visual style created specifically for the project.
More Than 80 Recipes Shape Each Run
Cooking is another major part of the game’s strategy. Players can discover more than 80 recipes and combine ingredients to increase attributes including Flavour, Essence and Fodder.
Successful combinations can produce large scoring chains, while poor planning can leave players without enough resources to satisfy the dragon.
The number of available recipes, buildings and dice types is designed to create different strategic possibilities from one run to the next.
Custom Dice Add Another Layer of Strategy
Feed the Scorchpot features more than 20 unique dice types that players can use to customize their dice pool.
Changing the composition of the pool affects the probability of obtaining particular resources and opportunities, allowing players to shape a run around specific strategies.
The system encourages experimentation with unusually powerful combinations. Players can deliberately search for interactions capable of producing increasingly high scores before changing circumstances force them to adapt.
Randomness remains part of the experience, but customizing dice gives players additional control over how they approach each year’s challenge.
Moravian Games Makes Its Debut
Feed the Scorchpot is the first title from Moravian Games, an independent Czech development team consisting of husband-and-wife developers Jakub and Daniela.
Jakub handles programming, while Daniela is responsible for design and artwork. The game is also the first published title in Indieformer’s catalog.
The combination of a small development team and hand-drawn presentation places the title within a growing segment of independently produced PC strategy games built around distinctive mechanics rather than large-scale production.
Steam Release Priced at $14.99
Feed the Scorchpot is available now on Steam for $14.99 in the United States, with a 20% launch discount.
The game is also being offered as part of a bundle with Balatro, pairing two titles built around strategic combinations, scoring systems and replayable runs.
With more than 50 buildings, over 80 recipes and more than 20 customizable dice types, Feed the Scorchpot is structured around experimentation and replayability. Its escalating 20-year dragon contract gives those systems a clear objective: build an efficient culinary engine, satisfy an increasingly difficult customer and avoid ending up on the menu.
