00:00Hi, I'm James. I'm Jess. And I'm Thomas. And together we're the directors at Saltstone Studios.

00:19Some of you might already know us as the makers of The Pale Beyond. Now we've formed a new studio

00:24and we're off on our own adventure. We're delighted to announce we're working on a new

00:28title with the support of our friends at Hello Traveller. An adventure management game set

00:34in the same universe as The Pale Beyond. Step into the role of Kit Purcell, a recent blow-in

00:39to the coastal city of Newport. Take over a run-down restaurant and bring it back to life, building

00:45a new home for you and your neighbours in the hearth and harbour. The town has fallen on

00:51hard times. War is looming over the horizon, work is scarce, money is tight, and people

00:57are worried. You will face some hard decisions. It's not always easy to know what's right

01:02when the stresses of the city are bearing down on you. But there isn't much a good hot meal

01:06can't fix. Your restaurant can and will be a shelter in the oncoming storm. How you decide

01:12to run things will bring in all kinds of people, from the well-paying upper crust to the loyal,

01:17humble townsfolk. However you choose, it's up to you to build a successful business. Keep the rent

01:23collector happy, feed the locals, and create a place for the community to gather and survive.

01:28Like The Pale Beyond, the hearth and harbour is inspired by our own history here in the

01:34north of Ireland. Luthport is a lot like our own home town of Belfast. Over the decades we've

01:39seen food and culture bring people together. When things are difficult, social connections

01:44are what create strength and meaning. Crafting an experience with handmade art and music, building

01:50a narrative where community is the antidote to dehumanisation is very close to our hearts.

01:56In the hearth and harbour, fostering good relationships with people you interact with every day will make

02:02running the restaurant easier. A vendor can cut you a deal, a co-worker can share a perk,

02:07or a friend can help you out with gifts or favours.

02:10But it's not all about work. The city is yours to explore when you're off the clock. Attend local

02:16events, socialise at the bar, and choose who to spend your time with. Maybe you'll even

02:20find someone special. We hope you enjoyed this first look at our new game. We've already fallen

02:26in love with this cast of characters and can't wait for you to do the same. We'll have more

02:31to show you soon. In the meantime, make sure to wishlist on Steam.
