Happy's Humble Burger Cult Launches with Co-op Horror for Up to Four

Happy's Humble Burger Cult, published by tinyBuild, is now available on Steam following an announcement on July 16, 2026. A launch discount of 20% is in effect until July 23rd.

What's in the game

The source describes it as co-op cooking horror — framed as a spiritual relative of Overcooked, set in what the announcement calls "dystopian hell." Key features listed:

  • Co-op play for up to four players
  • A risk/reward system: staying longer in the restaurant yields more money, but increases danger from an unnamed threat described as "a big, bad something"
  • Earned cash spent on unlockable maps and cosmetics
  • Microphone integration — certain phrases spoken aloud trigger in-game effects
  • Expanded lore connected to the Happy's Humble universe

The tone of the announcement is deliberately irreverent, which appears to match the game's aesthetic. Players are directed to a Bug Reports subforum for issues and a separate forum for feedback, suggesting active post-launch support is intended.

For those willing to lean into the chaos of a horror-adjacent kitchen sim, the launch window discount makes this the lowest entry price the announcement references.
