🏮 HearthlightPlay
Hearthlight is a cosy pixel-art adventure drawn entirely in code: it ships no image or sound files at all, and everything is painted and synthesised in the browser. It begins as quiet life in a seaside village — meeting neighbours, growing a garden, fishing, small errands and a house that comes together little by little.
Then the story starts. A duchess with a flying stage puts out the world's lights, and a gloom spreads across the lands. Carrying Nana June's lantern you walk ten chapters: two continents, ten dungeons each with a mechanic of its own, bosses that no single button will beat, and a gloom that gives way to light. Eight heroes with three talent trees each, four kinds of weapon and gear that grow with you.
Play alone or with up to eight people on one screen with gamepads: the picture splits when you wander apart, and the difficulty scales with the party. Russian and English, with progress kept in your portal profile.

PlayHow to play
- Make a hero. Pick a look, a name and a pet, then a class: knight, mage, ranger or bard — each with its own moves and three talent trees.
- Settle into the village. Meet the neighbours, grow crops, fish and run errands: that is how you earn coins, gear and your first levels.
- Follow the story. Nana June's lantern leads from chapter to chapter. Gloom camps, dungeons with a mechanic of their own and bosses stand in the way.
- Grow stronger. Spend talent points across three trees, swap weapons and gear, and unlock your ultimate once a tree's capstone is learned.
- Play together. Party Mode opens from the menu: up to eight players on one screen with gamepads and the keyboard, splitting when you wander apart.

FAQ
Do I need to install anything or sign up?
The game opens in your browser on the portal page. An account is optional, but it keeps your progress points, achievements and record in your Levbee profile.
Does it work on a phone?
It is made for a computer: the controls are the keyboard and a gamepad, and the phone controllers of the original release are switched off in this build.
Can two people play on one screen?
Yes: Party Mode takes up to eight players on one screen with gamepads and the keyboard. The picture splits when the heroes wander apart, and the difficulty grows with the party.
How much story is there?
Ten chapters across two continents, ten dungeons each with its own mechanic, a boss in every chapter, side quests in every land and five mini-games you can play on their own.
What counts as progress points?
Points come from your hero's level, chapters finished, quests done, waystones found and dungeons cleared. The portal server works them out from the game's events.
