Hearth and Hamlet is a cosy incremental citybuilder with a warm pixel art aesthetic. It takes players all the way from a single campfire in the woods to a bustling civilisation. Oversee your massive fantasy kingdom, drafting laws and setting policies to keep everything humming efficiently whilst you lead your society into expansion and prosperity!
In Hearth and Hamlet, players assign workers to gather resources. They then transition into constructing shops, town-halls, barracks, banks, and magic academies. From there, they can discover strange lands across the waters, setting trade and diplomacy policies to acquire rare resources and mystical artefacts. Meanwhile, managing citizens’ happiness unlocks production bonuses. Recruiting soldiers and guardsmen also keeps the civilisation safe from dangerous animals and raiders.
The game’s magical energy and citybuilder charm have seen it surge up the charts in its first month on Steam, with a demo launching alongside Steam Medieval Fest on April 20th.
