About Back to Hearth
Back to Hearth is a short game set in a Ukrainian village in Eastern Europe, devastated by the Calamity. You play as someone restoring its five houses, cleaning them and relighting their hearths so the villagers feel safe enough to return. The game takes about an hour to play.
Restore the houses
You repair each home with tools such as a hammer, broom or screwdriver. Some repairs also require you to draw special gestures. Once a house is clean and its stove is lit, you wait for its residents to return and can listen to their stories.
Discover village life
Each home contains memories, belongings, amulets and other details that reveal the villagers’ lives. Interacting with some items adds them to Collections, which you can view from the main menu. You can also eat apples, grapes and raspberries, and chase chickens.
Atmosphere and style
Back to Hearth has a melancholic autumn atmosphere, casual meditative gameplay and graphic styling like games of the 2000s.
