Hearthsoil
A downloadable game
A tender survival RPG about rebuilding, remembering, and the choices that define who we become.
When the Rot swept across the mainland, you fled — desperate, unarmed, and alone. You crash on a forgotten island, where the bones of an old town sleep beneath the weeds. Guided by Matri Rita, the last survivor of the old world, you must rekindle life from ruin — one act of grace, one hard choice at a time.
Rebuild Hearthsoil. Grow, craft, and nurture community. But every kindness or cruelty ripples outward — shaping morale, trust, and the island’s fate. Choose with care: your decisions can heal… or unravel everything you’ve restored.
