Bad Cheese: A Creepy Disney-Inspired Cuphead-Style Horror Game with a Demo Available

If you’ve ever played Cuphead, you know how it pushes players to their limits. But it also does something else—it reminds us just how downright eerie early animation can be. Those stretchy limbs and exaggerated features? Nightmare fuel, right? Well, brace yourself, because Bad Cheese taps into that very concept, taking a page from the Disney tales of yesterday and twisting it into a harrowing horror story. And guess what? There’s a demo you can dive into right now.

In Bad Cheese, you find yourself in quite the pickle: navigating a weekend with an unpredictable father. This first-person horror experience has you tip-toeing around your home, unraveling all sorts of bizarre, goosebump-inducing secrets.

Every corner of the house whispers with creepiness, from grotesque remains to artwork that just doesn’t sit right. At its core, it’s a puzzle game. Tasks like dusting and tidying aren’t just busywork—they’re your ticket to keeping dad calm while you unlock hidden areas. And just when you think you’ve got a handle on things, your brother and parents come into play, each harboring their own disturbing mysteries.

The mastermind behind this unsettling journey, Simon Lukasik, skillfully uses the innocent charm of early cartoons but cranks up the unsettling factor. He employs a clever 16mm-style filter that gives the game an old-school broadcast feel, complete with crackles and all.

Remember Courage the Cowardly Dog? If your mind drifted there, you’re not alone. Just like Courage, you’re dealing with a wild, unpredictable world, although Courage thankfully didn’t have a family that upped the creep factor.

Bad Cheese steps away from Cuphead by venturing into first-person gameplay on PC. Studio MDHR’s Cuphead set a high bar for using vintage animation styles in gaming, especially if you’re aiming for a spooky twist. But make no mistake—Bad Cheese stands on its own as a compact and chilling ride, perfect for those who might find Pluto a bit too tame or have a spider phobia.

While there’s no full release date yet, you can snag the demo on Steam today. If you’re a fan of spine-tingling experiences, check out our handpicked lists of the best zombie games and vampire adventures that promise more thrills and chills.
