Hey everyone,

It’s time to reveal the truth behind Hotdog Butcher.
What started as a quirky food truck simulator has now evolved into a full psychological horror experience.

During development, we realized that the world, the characters, and the eerie atmosphere of the carnival were too dark to stay inside a simple cooking game. The story demanded something deeper and much more disturbing.

Now, the focus has shifted:
You’re not just serving customers anymore. You’re trying to survive the night inside a haunted carnival, where every noise, every flickering light, and every missing person leads you closer to uncovering what really happened here.

You can still cook and manage your truck, but now your biggest challenge isn’t just burning a hotdog, it’s keeping your sanity intact.

Key changes:

• The game has been completely reimagined as a psychological horror title.

• The day-night system now drives both gameplay and story progression.

• New narrative elements and dialogues have been added.

• A darker soundtrack, new lighting, and visual effects to build tension.

Thank you for supporting Hotdog Butcher through its transformation.
What used to be a cooking game... is now something much more sinister.

Stay sharp.
The night is only beginning. 🌙

The game is now officially feature complete. This means that the full release version will be exactly as the current demo. I just pushed patch 0.6.9 now.

The main difference between the demo and the full release is the amount of content. Also, the demo doesn't have unlocks. At the end of a run you are prompted to wishlist the game instead of unlocking content and going back to the title screen.

Some content is also locked, even though it's available in the game. Not sure if I should unlock it from now or not.

Let's go through all the content.

Right now, the game only allows you to select the "Standard" deck. However, the game already has 6 decks implemented. This means 5 decks can't be used. Honestly, I am not sure if players should be able to unlock them in the demo. The full release will have around 10 decks.

The game only offers one difficulty. However, all the difficulties are implemented (10 levels besides the default one). Same issue as the deck.

The current demo has 50 pet cards. The full release will have more cards, but I am not sure how many, probably something in the 70-100 range.

There are 7 food cards (one per combo) and 5 extra potions that can be used as items, so 12 overall. Therefore, the goal is to add more item like cards for the full release. The final number will be around 20-30 cards.

There are 15 bosses, on top of the 2 default activities. The number might double for the full release. But it depends on how interesting the current activities are because I might rework some of them.

There are 4 charms in the game. I am not planning to add more for now.

Same as charms.

These are supposed limitations set on cards. However, there is only one binding in the game that's present in the last difficulty (level 10). So technically, you will never encounter it in the current demo.

Right now, only 9 are available in the shop. Should be increased to 15-20 effects for the full release.

That's it for now. Obviously, I am not mentioning balancing here because it's a given. I tried to make things clear for the current build so that you know what to expect and you can help with feedback. Finally, the full release is planned for December 1st 2025, one month and half after Next Fest starts.

Feel free to share any suggestions you have on Discord.

Thanks,
