Little Hats

Little Hats is an open-world survival game with RPG elements in which you play as a gnome. In a handcrafted fairy-tale world inspired by Dutch culture and folklore, you gather, craft, build and explore to discover why the gods sent you to the world. You must find a way to the lowlands while avoiding dangers along the way, or switch on Cozy Mode to disable monsters and scary creatures and focus on exploring and building.

Explore Steynwoud

Visit gnome cities to buy or trade items with other gnomes, and travel through forests with varied terrain and animals. You can encounter fairies, sneak through human towns and villages, and talk with humans, gnomes and other creatures to learn the secrets and history of Steynwoud. Trolls are among the dangers to avoid.

Gather and build

Gather resources and craft what you need yourself, or earn coins and buy a workbench from a gnome shop. Build a house brick by brick or plank by plank, place a whole wall at once, or combine these approaches.

Artistic inspirations

The game draws primarily on Dutch artist Anton Pieck and his nostalgic scenes of the Netherlands, fairy tales and folklore. Other inspirations include Rien Poortvliet, Arthur Rackham and works by other artists, mainly Dutch, as well as folklore.
