Welcome to Hearth Cat

Hi! Welcome to the page for Hearth Cat, our cozy in-development RPG/sim-style game. Become the village hedgewitch for the woodland residents of Here & There, a tiny community in the corner of the Vast. Go big and quest through the main story, exploring the continent, delving into mysteries, and bringing the larger world back home...or let yourself get distracted: craft charms to sell at the local farmer's market, take custom orders from villagers, or make equippable charms that grant new abilities! Create spells in a customizable magic system using components found throughout the Vast. Gather materials from the nearby moody forest, build terrariums for your greenhouse, or stop by the Moonlight Grotto to enjoy a show (or even help out as a stagehand). 

Help build back up a village that has seen better days while developing relationships with the individual villagers. Witness the butterfly effect of small acts of kindness ripple through the entire village or watch an incredibly grumpy villager ruin the mood of all around...the choice is yours!

Features:

• A robust main story to experience at your pace
• An entire village full of optional mini-games and opportunities to customize or upgrade.
• Robust villager AI and relationship system showcasing dynamic moods and decision-making based not just on personality but on interactions with the player, other villagers, and their current environment.
• Explore the continent and find ways to grow your small village and connect it to the larger world
• Design and craft charms for profit or personal use
• Build terrariums for your greenhouse to grow magical plants for rare materials or new cozy new tea varieties for the village tea house
• Spell crafting system with on-the-fly mods that can alter spells during casting 
• Changing weather and star patterns that affect the power of spells
• And more!
