Announcing The Hearth & Harbour, a story-focused restaurant management RPG from Saltstone Studios

Take on management of a failing restaurant in a seaside town, set in the same universe and time as The Pale Beyond

Hey regulars, we’ve got something special cooking! Today we’re thrilled to share that Saltstone Studios, the team behind The Pale Beyond, is back with a brand new game for PC, The Hearth & Harbour.

The Hearth & Harbour is an adventure management RPG set in the same world and time as The Pale Beyond. This time, the ice has melted into salt air as you step into the seaside town of Lewthport, ready to begin a new life. Your task? Restore the rundown local restaurant, The Silver Spoon, and decide what kind of manager (and neighbor) you’ll become.

At the heart of The Hearth & Harbour lies more than just recipes and renovations. As an immigrant finding your place in a tight-knit town on the brink of war, the restaurant becomes your link to the community.

The Silver Spoon isn’t just where you’ll serve food, it’s where you’ll shape relationships. The menu you craft depends on the connections you build with Lewthport’s townsfolk and, in turn, the dishes you serve will influence who walks through your door. Each decision, from ingredients to décor to staffing, opens new bonds, storylines, and possibilities.

Do you want The Silver Spoon to become a bustling bistro or a greasy local haunt? Will you invest in cozy décor and fresh produce, or cut corners to keep your books balanced? When service begins, you’ll juggle it all through turn-based tactical gameplay that challenges you to satisfy customers, support staff, and keep the business afloat.

Every choice ripples outward, not just shaping the restaurant, but also the lives of Lewthport’s people and the story of the city itself.

  • Adventure management strategy: balancing décor, staffing, menus, and service

  • Character-driven storytelling: build relationships and unlock branching story arcs

  • Customization: design the restaurant of your dreams, from cozy corners to lively tavern tables

  • A daily cycle: mornings to prepare, afternoons to run the restaurant, and evenings to connect with locals

We can’t wait for you to step into Lewthport and take your seat at our table. Wishlist The Hearth & Harbour now on Steam, and follow Fellow Traveller on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, or jump into our official Fellow Traveller Discord to become a regular at The Silver Spoon from day one.
