Hearth and Hamlet is a new pixel art city-building sim set in a medieval world from developer Phorust Studios alongside publishers Runic Forge and Gamersky Games. We first reported on it earlier this year but are pleased to say it’s out now on Steam, where over 100,000 players wishlisted the game after playing the demo. The first major release of indie publisher Runic Forge, Hearth and Hamlet is a cozy incremental citybuilder that takes players from a mere campfire in the woods to a bustling civilization, spanning the land and seas.
Key features of Hearth and Hamlet 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.
