Idle & hearth games
4 free idle & hearth games, straight in the browser. Slow fires: raise a homestead with your own two hands, fish by the true moon, feed a parish engine that pays by adjacency, and tend a small shining tide. Come back tomorrow; they keep.

Every idle & hearth game in the cabinet
Each opens in its own leaf; nothing to install and nothing to sign.

Tend a small, shining tide.
A pocket idler, and a first taste of Tideward.

No. XLVII
Freehold
Raise the whole place with your own two hands.
A homestead-automation idler priced from the real world: buy the right tools, raise a timber-frame house yourself, wire the solar, write the firmware, hire the crew, buy the next field, and sink the dream vault beneath it all. Honest dollars the whole way; only the Frontier shelf leans forward.

No. LI
Weir
Night fishing by the almanac.
The lantern-lit fishery: cast, hook the dip, and play the fish on one button. What bites tonight follows the true moon and the night’s weather, and the folio’s rumors tell you when to come back for the rest. Thirty-two entries, four of them fabled, none of them in a hurry.

No. LII
Tithe
Feed the box, or the box feeds on you.
The parish engine-builder: every week the box spins your little congregation of geese, bees, monks and stranger things, and adjacency pays. Draft one symbol of three, build the engine, and outlast the collector, whose figure only ever rises. Runs end; the compendium is forever.

The idlers keep working while the tab is closed, and the almanac games follow the real moon over your head. From the studio whose flagship, Tideward, is an idle almanac entire.
