Hearth and Hamlet

Hearth and Hamlet is an incremental citybuilder set in a magic-filled medieval pixel art world. You gather resources, assign workers and construct buildings, growing a frontier camp into a kingdom. As your settlement expands, you manage its resources and people, set laws and policies, research technologies and explore the wider world.

Build your settlement

Develop your settlement from simple tents to taverns, castles, magical academies and defensive fortifications. Assign your population to gather food, wood, stone and gold, and make decisions about how the kingdom operates. Taxation rules can boost income, worker policies can support morale, city guard drafts can protect the population, and civic decisions shape the kingdom’s character.

Research and magic

Upgrades feed into a research tree that permanently unlocks technologies, including advanced buildings, new policies and stronger magic to experiment with. As the city advances, you can unlock magic and build alchemical labs and magical academies, adding new possibilities to how your kingdom operates.

Explore and trade

The pixel art world includes lakes and rivers, magical swamps and faraway lands. Establish trade routes with neighbouring kingdoms to gain resources beyond what the local terrain provides and grow the economy. As your realm expands, recruit soldiers to protect what you have built.
