HearthMoon

A village that talks back HearthMoon is a single-player dark-fantasy survival RPG set in a living medieval village. Everyone here has a name, a home, a trade and a past, and you can talk to any of them. Build a life worth protecting, then hold on to it when the blood moon rises.Talk to anyone. They remember. Speak aloud or simply type. Villagers turn when they hear their name, answer in their own voices, and remember what you told them, what you did and what they saw you do. Each knows different things about the village, so who you ask matters. Earn their trust and they open up. Break it, and they will not forget.A market that keeps its hours Twelve market stalls, each with its own merchant: butcher, baker, fishmonger and more. They open in the morning, talk you through their wares, then pack up and walk home at dusk. At the tavern, order a hot meal, listen to the regulars or sit down at the poker table to play for in-game gold.Make a life between the nights Buy a lot in the village or claim open land beyond it, and raise a house piece by piece, from foundations to roof. Fish the rivers, the lake and the sea: cast, wait for the bite and fight every catch against the line. Grow crops, gather, mine, cook and craft, and keep hunger and thirst at bay.A dragon of your own Win over a wild baby dragon with patience and raw meat. It grows stronger at your side, wears a collar engraved with the name you choose, sleeps in the bed you build for it, and answers your voice: follow, stay, attack, fetch, even words you teach it. It replies with actions, not words.Find your way to fight Grow as a Warrior, Ranger or Mage, learning battle arts and spells from village trainers and tomes found in the dark. The village keeps its own justice: harm someone, and every witness remembers. Beneath the village, three floors of catacombs lead to the Dragon Knight's hall. He remembers you.When the moon bleeds At dusk the dead claw their way out of their graves and guard the cemetery until morning. On blood-moon nights a giant werewolf comes down from the mountains, tears through the streets and sets the rooftops ablaze. At dawn the fallen rise in the cemetery and walk home, and the village begins to rebuild. Every village has its secrets The beast comes from the mountains every blood moon… or does it? Someone in the village is hiding a secret, and only by earning the trust of its people will you uncover the truth.
