About A Hat in Time

✦ AI summary

Play as Hat Kid, a tiny space traveler who stitches magical hats with unique powers to recover her stolen Time Pieces across vibrant worlds. Every mission is wildly different—from solving a murder mystery on a train to sneaking through a movie studio—making this 3D platformer feel fresh and surprising at every turn.


A Hat in Time is a cute-as-heck 3D platformer featuring a little girl who stitches hats for wicked powers.

A little girl and her spaceship


In A Hat in Time you play as a tiny space-travelling girl with a big tophat. Her adventure is halted when all her fuel, the Time Pieces, is lost and scattered across a nearby planet. Hat Kid must now jump, fight and stitch new hats to make her way into every nook and cranny of this new world in order to restore her fuel and resume her journey. On her way, she'll bump into the menacing Mafia of Cooks, the goofy birds of Dead Bird Studio, the spooky shadows of Subcon Forest, and more!

Murder on a train! Parades! Trespassing in a movie studio?


Every mission in A Hat in Time is unique! At one moment you'll be solving the Murder on the Owl Express by finding clues and interrogating the locals, the next moment you'll be the band marshal in The Big Parade, or sneaking through the bird-run Dead Bird Studio!

Small child, giant worlds


Jump freely around in 5 massive worlds with new adventures to discover around every corner! Just like any child, Hat Kid loves to climb and explore, no mountain is too big for her sense of adventure. She can do multiple jump moves, as well as climb walls, and swing over gaps!

Cute hats, magical yarn and snappy badges


By finding and collecting rare magical yarn, Hat Kid can stitch new cute hats with a variety of abilities, including a witch hat that allows her to cook explosive concoctions, and a wooden ghost mask that allows her to peek into other dimensions. Hats can become even more powerful, by attaching badges that are found, sold and traded by the locals!

Community-funded, community-focused


A Hat in Time was successfully funded on Kickstarter, reaching nearly 10 times its goal! In order to celebrate our community, A Hat in Time is releasing with full modding and Steam Workshop support, an in-game screenshot mode, and more!

S'alright, decent platformer with a good artstyle and sense of humor. The Seal the Deal DLC kinda sucks, but Nyakuza Metro was pretty fun. One thing that kinda irks me, and this is a personal problem I know, is that there's a good few achievements that require interacting with the Steam workshop and pretty lackluster online play. Other than that it's a solid 6/10 if you can get it at a good price.

Was finally able to play this game, and it was such a needed good-ol' collectathon platformer experience! I have to admit that the movement felt wonky and unresponsibe a few times, I was not a huge fan of the camera, the hitboxes in certain areas seemed highly out of place, and I did witness one or two crashes. But, A Hat in Time does so many things greatly that I can't feel anything but adoration for this game. The world is extremely vivid and charming, full of collectionables at seemingly any corner, funny and light-hearted character interactions, and each act unique and well-thought. It reminded me a lot to Super Mario 64 on that aspect! I also have to admire the effort put into the voice acting. From The Conductor to The Snatcher to even Hat Kid, each and every single voice actor has a lot of talent and very good delivery on each dialogue. But my absolute favorite thing of A Hat in Time are the collectables. Not only are they a lot of fun to search and obtain, the game actually rewards the player with cosmetics for going out of their way for them, and if that wasn't enough, a huge chunk of them are even required for mandatory progress with hat upgrades! I couldn't help but …

Very fun game. It was very nostalgic to someone who watched a lot of it when it came out. It can certainly be challenging at time, but fun.
