Hearth and Hamlet

Completed

Hearth and Hamlet is a unique experience where incremental idle gameplay meets citybuilder satisfaction and policy management. Gather enough food to keep your expanding population healthy, and accumulate materials to construct new buildings and grow your settlement - All the while, unlocking shops, magic, policies, and new technologies! Assign workers to maximise your production, trade with strange new lands, and set your new kingdom on the path to greatness!

FEATURES

• Beautiful pixel art environment! Lakes and rivers, magical swamps, ships and far-flung lands.

• Relaxing idle gameplay: assign your workers to their tasks, and then sit back and enjoy as the resources build up. Earn food and wood as well as magic, and grow your camp into a bustling, castle-filled city! 

• Construct improvements to your settlement for the ability to stockpile more resources and employ more workers. Recruit soldiers, decide on new policies, and trade with foreign lands.

• Research to unlock more advanced buildings and technologies as your settlement progresses! Churches, defensive fortifications, alchemy, academies of magic, and new settlement policies!

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, TO A MAGICAL KINGDOM!

Starting with nothing more than a simple campfire and a tent, build your way up to a small village, then a larger town, and a great, bustling city with towering buildings, magical academies, and thriving neighborhoods! The frontier is always calling! Construct roads to make travel and trade faster and cleaner. Open a tavern for food and fun. Mine for gold and other precious resources. Build colorful marketplaces and luxurious villas. Soon enough, that simple campfire will be just a long-ago story: a legend for the residents of your kingdom to tell their children.  

BUILDING IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP

Once your community begins to take shape, it will become important to manage it. Set laws and policies, build lavish residences for your leaders, establish rules of taxation to earn more income and resources, and draft city guards to protect your settlement from monsters and raiders. Manage the residents’ happiness to earn bonuses which boost resource production, and stockpile as much food as possible to drive greater and greater population growth! Every upgrade unlocks new research options to give permanent perks.
