Next Fest is Live! Hawthorn villagers are waiting!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Next Fest is live and this week only the public will get the chance to see where the development for Hawthorn started several years back. Download and play Hawthorn's Proof-of-Concept Demo to see the prototype version that the developers sent to publishers to receive funding offers and to greenlight the project.

This is not a build that is a nearly finished product nearing launch, this is the opposite. This is the earliest playable build of Hawthorn, the very build that received funding offers from publishers. The build that gave the developers the confidence to turn those offers down to stay independent for as long as possible. Join our movement to keep creativity, passion, and heart at the core of video games, to keep game development transparent and collaborative, and to help build something a little bit different and ambitious over the long haul.

Help shape where Hawthorn goes in the future by joining the community making it happen! Play the demo this week, Wishlist on Steam, and share with the folks you want to play Hawthorn with the most!
