Originally planned for March 5th till that day turned into a clustercluck | Available now on Steam Early Access for less than what you’d pay for two dozen eggs
March 3rd, 2026 | Warsaw Poland – Untold Tales, Sneaky Box and Kautki Cave have announced that Chickenauts – the indie roguelite shooter – is out now on Steam Early Access.
Originally, the game was planned to launch on March 5th, but then a whole bunch of massive games decided they wanted to do the same, so we collectively said “Yeah, cluck that.” chickened out and moved it to March 3rd.
Chickenauts is a companion-based, action roguelike where you will blast your way through a massive, randomized alien mothership with an assortment of lethal, mutated chicken companions at your side.
The game is available for 5.99 USD / 5.99 EUR / 5.49 GBP / 24.99 PLN along with an additional 20% off for the first 14 days.
Bringing A Mother Clucking A-Bomb to a Knife Fight
While teaching alien scum a lesson or two, you’ll free, arm, and mutate various chicken companions, equally hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Each chicken companion is inspired by pop-cultural icons and brings very different traits and abilities.
With multiple, stacking mutations to pick from along the way, you will create overpowered, game-breaking chickens of mass destruction on each run.
Egg-citingly and Unpredictable Runs
Every run brings something different. Fast and varied runs deliver short but intense sessions made up of compact, randomized rooms that take under a minute to clear.
You’ll face multiple chicken abomination enemy types and bosses, ensuring no encounter is the same. Rooms, enemy spawns, plus all mutations, upgrades, and loot drops are all randomized, so each run is unpredictable and encourages experimentation.
But failure doesn’t mean total defeat. Collected eggs, weapons, and unlocked companions all carry over when you go again.
