About Little Hats
Little Hats is an open-world survival game mixed with RPG elements, in which you play as a Gnome! Set in a handcrafted fairy tale world inspired by Dutch culture and folklore. You will have to survive, craft, build, and explore, to discover why the gods sent you down to the world. To do this you will first have to find a way to the lowlands while avoiding all kinds of danger along the way. Or enable Cozy Mode!, which will disable all monsters and scary creatures, making for a relaxing experience where you can focus solely on exploring and building.
Explore a Fairy Tale World
Visit the gnome cities to buy or trade items and objects with your fellow gnomes. Explore a diverse forest with many different types of terrain, and many animals. Become enchanted by the beautiful fairies, and sneak your way through big human towns and villages. Talk to the humans, gnomes, and other creatures to find out the secrets and history of Steynwoud. But most importantly, stay clear of any and all trolls!
Gathering, Crafting, Building
Live fully off the land by gathering resources and crafting everything yourself, or make some coins and buy a workbench in one of the gnome shops, the choice is yours! Build your house brick by brick, or plank by plank, for maximum originality! Or build your house faster and more traditionally by placing an entire wall at once, or do both, it's all up to you!
Inspiration for Little Hats
The game is primarily inspired by Dutch artist Anton Pieck, and his drawings which often depicted old nostalgic scenes from the Netherlands, and also scenes from fairy tales/folklore. On top of that, I have drawn inspiration from various other artists such as Rien Poortvliet, Arthur Rackham, and many other (mainly) Dutch artists and pieces of folklore.

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!7 found this helpful
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, ~Wickie5 found this helpful
