Hearthlight 1.0 — the demo. A cozy pixel-art life in Marigold Cove, and a big adventure beyond it: make your character, pick your hero, then follow the lights out of the valley — two continents, ten chapters of story, dungeons and bosses, alone or with up to eight friends. Every sprite, model and sound is made in code.

This is a demo: playable from start to end, but so far played through by test bots rather than crowds. Expect rough edges and the odd bug — please tell us in the issues.

Play

  • In your browser, nothing to install: https://hearthlight.github.io
  • The desktop app (below): the same game in its own window, and Party Mode works offline — phones join over your Wi-Fi.
System File
Mac (Apple silicon & Intel) Hearthlight-1.0.0-universal.dmg
Windows Hearthlight-Setup-1.0.0.exe
Linux Hearthlight-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

The apps aren't signed, so the first time:

  • Mac: right-click Hearthlight in Applications → Open → Open (recent macOS: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).
  • Windows: SmartScreen « Windows protected your PC » → More info → Run anyway.
  • Linux: chmod +x Hearthlight-*.AppImage, then run it.

Checksums are in the SHA256SUMS-*.txt files.

What's inside

  • The story: ten chapters against the Duchess and the Murk, cutscenes, dungeons with their own puzzles, bosses and six world bosses; levels to 40, side quests, rares with treasure hats.
  • Eight heroes: Knight, Mage, Ranger, Bard, Lamplighter, Gardener, Cook and Tinkerer — each with their own moves, three talent trees, an ultimate and weapons.
  • Party Mode, 1–8 players: one link (or its QR code) for everyone — each friend picks At the big screen (their phone becomes the controller) or On my own screen (from home: the game streams to them with their own camera). Gamepads and the keyboard join on the big screen, which splits when you wander apart; arrows point to the friends out of view. Send the link from the menu (Esc or Start → Invite) or any phone's envelope.
  • A cozy life too: fishing, farming, a house to decorate, villagers, a day/night cycle, campfires (with marshmallows).
  • Five languages: English, Français, Español, Deutsch, Italiano.
  • Saves: automatic, plus export/import and an optional online backup (Settings → Saves & backups).
