Little Hats

I have been having trouble lately with finding games that I really enjoy and want to keep playing, untill I found this. I absolutley love it, the whole atmosphere, being a little gnome and sneaking around houses and discovering new things, riding on animals and crafting stuff. I really like the Dutch Anton Pieck-esque world and details, as a long time Efteling and Anton Pieck fan, this is really something. The droomvlucht-like opening with the floating castles gave me goosebumps. And that all made by one person. I have just started playing but I'm sure that I will put many hours into this game. And I can't wait what future updates will bring!

Such a beautiful, little game. Very excited to see it all up and running and complete.

I like the graphics, so I am not going to refund. I will wait and see if it gets better. However, currently it is glitching too much while running around. And the game is mostly running around. There are far too few resources to be found, but making anything requires a great many resources and they have to be carried back to your workbench to do so - without any backpack, so you are very limited in what you can carry. While running around, all you can see are the weeds in front of you because you are so small. If you camera out, you lose the navigation tools and the glitches keep throwing the camera all over the place so you have to keep zooming back in to regain your bearings. Too labor intensive at the moment.

Gnomes, Fairies, & Trolls, Oh My! Little Hats has become one of my Fav Indie games! If you enjoy creative, unique games made by independent developers then buy Little Hats. Yes, it's still in Alpha and developed by 1 cool guy from the Netherlands. But that makes it unique and exciting. If you love gnomes and fables about them then you'll want it in your collection. Word vomit time: You're a Gnome! In the Woods! With all sorts of things trying to kill or capture you. Run, Harvest, Craft, Build, Run some more, Chat with friendly humans (there are a few) and steal from the hostile humans, hide, fight, learn the history of your people, run again. Join discord and tellum Wickie sent ya! <:) Cheers, ~Wickie

Charming game made by a very passionate developer. Still Early Access but each update has been great so far. If you love Gnomes of European folklore you may enjoy Little Hats.

i absolutely love the direction this game is going. Cant wait to see the future development of it and possible coop!

So far LittleHats has been a fun unique experience. In a market over saturated with survival games here's something a *little* different. You start the game in a magical looking place until falling from the sky to awaken. A little elf in a big forest. Incredibly huge intimidating world for a little elf. I've enjoyed the bit of exploring I've done, I've had some interesting chats with locals and travellers making me want to know more about the lore and story at large. The crafting is fairly simple so far, not a bad thing like. I'm enjoying it quite a bit, I look forward to seeing the developers improvements and polishing as this is only in early access. I will be updating and adding to my review as I play / it updates.

I know I have only played this for about 2.3 hours, but I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I'm looking forward to seeing where this game goes during development, it's a unique take on the survival/lifesim genre that I would LOVE to see more of.

Loved seeing this game grow, has went along way from where it started and its q good game already! And i see it going further!

Man, I adore this game. This game is in its early stages, but it's already very promising, and the dev is constantly putting out new, significant updates, and with each one the game noticeably improves. In the meantime, the core ethos and atmosphere are already pretty much there. The big hook for me was walking through the woods, navigating by signs along the path, and getting that tingle of adventure down my spine that I associate with being a kid playing Morrowind. The sense of a magical, alien world to explore and discover is already very much intact, and I have no doubt the dev will continue to flesh it out. As far as its limits right now, they're the standard ones that come with it being an Alpha--some janky animations and appearances, some things just feel awkward, missing QoL features, etc. If you want a complete, playable right outta the box kind of game, this isn't it, it's very much actively in development and if you jump in now it's likely your saves will be broken several times before the game's done. That said, if you saw the screenshots and video and were immediately captured by the concept and world, that much is there for you right now, and indications are currently very strong that the dev will continue with consistent updates and improvements. Know that you'd be paying for an Alpha, but also know that, as Alphas go, it's a pretty good bet. Also, I just wanna say, I really like that your gnome is one of the skinny little red-capped variety, looking almost like a toy, as opposed to the stout, bearded garden gnome look. I don't think this game would work for me half as well if I were playing as a garden gnome, but somehow the skinny little guy is just the right balance between shades of cute and of creepy. Anyway, because this is released as an Alpha I've reviewed it as an Alpha. Many features are not yet implemented, but there is a playable core. What's there is not perfect, but it is constantly improving. And finally, if you're really in doubt about it, think about your original reaction to the screenshots or video--were you immediately intrigued by the world and the concept itself, before knowing anything about mechanics? If so, I'd say this is worth a buy. However, if you're after a feature-complete survival game first and foremost, this is not that. It's functional in that aspect, but there's clearly a lot of addition and refinement to be done. Animations and models are somewhat rough right now, but those are being improved from one update to the next. If you like the world and you can spare the twenty bucks, go ahead buy in, see how you like it, but if you're here for the mechanics, wait til it's had a little more time in the oven. Personally, I'm trying to avoid playing too much now, at least for the span of a few major updates, so that when I come back to it, it'll be that much richer and closer to complete. I happen to be interested in seeing it grow, so I don't mind being an early adopter, but again, if you're looking for a finished, polished game, this isn't that. If, however, you're looking for a unique, intriguing, and above all promising Early Access game to put twenty bucks' worth of faith into, then this is that precisely. So glad I found this weird little gem. Every time I see this game has a new update it puts a smile on my face. (I just hope the dev gives us the ability as gnomes to make some serious mischief for the humans...)
