Hamster Talk, the adorable social idler developed and published by Line Games Corp., is launching today on Steam.

After its demo debut in February Steam Next Fest, the fully-realized hamster experience is ready to create its humble abode on your desktop screen. 

While you’re hard at work, the hamsters can’t help but lurk. Not in a creepy way, they just want to be a part of your daily life. In Hamster Talk, collect a variety of different hamster pals who wish to call your monitor their home.

You can choose from a wide variety of decorations, from floating clouds to cannons, to ensure your little guys live in style. Feeling like taking a break? Visit the plaza to chat with other players.

As your little home grows into a hamster haven, grow new types of crops, craft new items, and unlock helpful automations to keep the place running smoothly while you do your own thing.

It’s an idle game that fits naturally into your day, so it’s okay to step away or focus on something else. Your hamsters continue their daily routines on their own, quietly playing and living right on your screen.

You spend time with adorable hamsters. Different hamsters wander across your screen, playing with various items and showing charming reactions to a touch. Pet them, feed them, and keep their space clean to discover their happy moments and affectionate behaviors.

And you can visit the Plaza, a shared space where players from around the world gather to chat freely. Say hello, exchange small talk, and enjoy light social interactions as you meet new people along the way.

You can decorate and arrange your hamster town to reflect your personal taste. When interactive decorations are placed, hamsters interact with them and move around in their own unique ways.

You can tend crops, harvest materials, and produce new resources throughout the day as Popo Farm grows into a lively part of your hamster world. You can hop between adorable hamster towns created by players around the world, visit friends directly or discover random communities full of charm, then leave hearts on your favorite spaces to spread a little hamster happiness.
