Updates! Announcements! Demos! Events! Ahhh!
Hello everyone!
Exciting news – the Ludonarracon Appetiser Demo for The Hearth and Harbour goes live TODAY! At 10am Pacific / 6pm GMT! Ahh!!!
Here’s a link to the Steam store page if you want to check it out, or Wishlist for later:

We’ve been calling it the Appetiser because it’s short and sweet – it’s a little taste of the start of The Hearth and Harbour. We put together an explainer so players know what to expect:







Having people trying the demo out and give us feedback does us a huge help, and means we can make sure the games as good it can be before launch! We’re encouraging players to join the Discord to share their thoughts and report bugs – if for some reason you’re reading the news letter but aren’t in the Discord and you’d like to hop in, here’s the link! (Planning a fun thing for the community to do alongside the demo if that sounds entertaining to you!)
Ludonarracon runs from the 8th-15th October, and the roster of narrative games featured is absolutely stellar, I recommend checking out the other titles! In addition to Ludonarracon, we have two more events coming up soon:
- Cooking Fest 12th-19th October
- Steam Next Fest 19th-26th October
I’d just like to say we’re so appreciative of all the support so far for The Hearth and Harbour, and Saltstone Studios in general. We have such a passionate community, and we’re eager to get everyone’s first thoughts on this first taste of The Hearth and Harbour.
See you in Lewthport!!
