Description

One-liner

Feed the Scorchpot is a tabletop roguelike about feeding a very opinionated dragon for twenty years. You manage a medieval farm, rolling dice to harvest and cook. Every roll matters, and one bad dish can undo a run.

Short

You struck a deal with a dragon: twenty years of protection in exchange for twenty years of dinner service. You manage your farm board, rolling dice to harvest and cook and keep a very opinionated dragon fed. The Scorchpot is the pot you keep full or end up in.

Long

Feed the Scorchpot plays like a roguelike with the guts of a board game. You build out your farm board so the pieces feed each other and discover recipes that turn a handful of tiles into board-breaking numbers, then watch the odds tighten as the dragon gets pickier and hungrier each year. Every run plays out differently, and one bad dish can undo the whole thing. And yes, you can pet the dragon.

The Story

A 20-year deal with a dragon.

You struck a deal: twenty years of protection in exchange for twenty years of dinner service. The island thrives under the beast's watchful eye, as long as the meals keep coming. Every year it wakes up hungrier and harder to please. Get the meal right and you prosper. Get it wrong and you're smoke.

Feed the Scorchpot is the first game from Moravian Games, the Czech married duo Jakub (code) and Daniela (design and art), and the first Indieformer has published. It sits comfortably alongside Balatro and Slay the Spire, a fresh spin on the roguelike where dice rolls fuel both the smart plays and the disasters.

Quotes

"This game is sick."

— Olexa

"It doesn't feel like an adaptation of a board game, but rather it's a game that has some tabletop heritage and uses that to good effect."

— Rogueliker

"Nutrition advisors are everywhere these days, and dragons are no exception. They cannot live on princesses and knights alone. They demand a balanced diet and require proper nutrition. If you don't want to become part of their diet yourself, it's up to you to ensure a sufficient supply of food."

— Level Magazine

"The dragons have their moods, and every decision matters. Yes, it is highly addictive. You have been warned."

— Score Magazine
