tinyBuild and Scythe Dev Team have announced Happy’s Humble BURGATORY — the direct sequel to 2021’s viral first-person cooking horror Happy’s Humble Burger Farm — launching on Steam on July 16, 2026. The game is a 1–4 player co-op experience that blends the chaotic cooking management of Overcooked with the nightmare escalation of Five Nights at Freddy’s, wrapped in the interconnected Scythe Studios universe. And to mark the announcement, the original Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is free to keep on Steam for one week starting today.
The premise: you and up to three others are hired by the Paragon Corporation to run a standard fast-food shift — grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, hit your quota, keep customers happy. But the kitchen always wins eventually. When the simulation collapses, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. You get one chance to escape with your earnings. The microphone mechanic is the standout design detail: the game literally listens to what you say. Speak the wrong word and Asset Joy hears you. Speak the right incantation and the kitchen warps. Your voice is both a survival tool and a liability.
Key Features
Happy’s Humble BURGATORY — What to Expect
◆
Cook, Serve, Hit Your Quota
A standard fast-food shift for the Paragon Corporation — grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, work the register. Six restaurants with varied menus. Keep the customers happy before the simulation collapses.
◆
Escape the Nightmare — Asset Joy Is Back
Once the kitchen inevitably falls apart, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. You get one chance to escape. The iconic mascot is back for blood.
◆
The Walls Are Listening
The game reacts to your microphone in real time. Say the wrong word and Asset Joy hears you. Say the right incantation and the kitchen warps. Your voice is a mechanic — use it wisely, and know what to never say aloud.
◆
35+ Run Modifiers
Rush Hour floods the kitchen with customers for bigger profits and bigger chaos. Profanity Policy punishes the whole team every time anyone swears on mic. Back Burner changes all recipes mid-run. No two shifts play the same.
◆
Extract Your Cash and Progress
Escape alive and your earnings survive with you. Spend on boosters, sacrifice to the ascension ritual to advance the story, or gamble on harder contracts for bigger payouts.
◆
The Scythe Universe Continues
A direct successor to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm and the next chapter in the Scythe Studios Universe — peeling back another layer of the Paragon Corporation’s reality-warping simulation program.
The Original Is Free Right Now
If you haven’t played Happy’s Humble Burger Farm — or want to gift it to someone ahead of BURGATORY — it’s free to keep on Steam for one week starting today.
