“Hearth and Hamlet invites players to build their very own kingdom, starting from single campfire and growing their settlement through incremental gameplay and citybuilding mechanics. Players assign a growing population of workers to gather resources before constructing buildings that can range from market stalls and town halls to barracks, banks, and magic academies.”

Players can manage policy, trade with other kingdoms, build armies, and more to grow their dominion and keep their citizens happy. Other key features include:

• “Heartwarming Pixel Graphics. Set in a landscape of woods, streams and mountains, complete with deer and rabbits grazing, Hearth and Hamlet is lovingly rendered in a cozy, pixel art style.
• Satisfying Incremental Growth. Enjoy the quiet tranquility of humble beginnings, all the way up to the busy bustle of the castle, the city, and the kingdom. Players can assign workers, maximize happiness, and set societal policies to create their perfect civilization.
• Unfolding Scope. Players can research new technologies and policies to open new doors at every turn. Form civil defense infrastructure and educational and religious institutions. House the nobility in luxurious mansions. Unlock the secrets of alchemy to turn the entire economy on its head.
