About

Hearthwild

Features
Read full description

Hearthwild is a systems-rich ecological strategy game about stewardship, memory, and consequence. Shape expeditions across a living watershed where organisms act with visible intent, restoration choices alter future missions, and every command becomes part of the world’s history. BUILD A LIVING WORLD • Plan expeditions from real basin conditions • Guide interacting organisms across tactical hex fields • Restore damaged ecosystems through permanent choices • Watch decisions compound across regions and relationships REPLAY CAUSE, NOT JUST SCORE The Living Chronicle records commands, consequences, civic doctrines, and ecological memory. Trace what changed, why it changed, and how one expedition reshaped the next. SHARE QUESTIONS, NOT POWER Share a fixed, replayable Glassroot Field Challenge with friends. Advanced routes are clearly labeled as field showcases. Shared links never alter either player’s campaign, save, or progression. GLASSROOT REMAINS FREE Finish the complete prologue, then replay Glassroot as often as you want. Your first permanent restoration, Morrow Basin, the Chronicle, and fixed Glassroot Field Challenges remain available without payment. FULL LIVING WORLD A single optional purchase unlocks six authored advanced fields across two campaign branches. Each device-local world permanently chooses Rootwell or Tideglass, then reaches Braid, Parallax, Concordance, and Asterreach—five advanced fields in that campaign. There is no subscription, loot box, paid power, energy timer, virtual currency, or expiring entitlement. Family Sharing is supported. Play at your pace. Keep the whole world.
