If you love cozy management sims with charm to spare, The Hawkers is one to keep on your radar.

In The Hawkers, your goal isn’t just to thrive. Your goal is to help keep your hometown from being swallowed up by the nefarious Mr. Bunny. The powerful businessman is buying up everything around you. You’ll need to not only turn a forgotten farm into a thriving agricultural empire while also building your own business and discovering who you are. Your family’s legacy is shrouded in a mystery that you’ll need to solve, too. 

The Hawkers is a cozy farm sim where you grow crops, raise animals, and craft goods to sell. But the game is way more than that. Your choices and how you build your life in the town of Greenleaf matter. The effort you put into building your farm and business affects your story. Build your shop and design the shelves, choose the stock, manage profits, and expand as your clientele grows. Even upgrade tools to help out on the farm. Grow your connections with neighbors by listening to their stories and attending town events. They’re important pieces to your story, too.

What really makes The Hawkers shine is its adorable, handcrafted art style. Every character, item, and environment has been lovingly drawn by hand, giving the game a warm, personal feel that’s hard to resist. All work on this game is done by the solo developer, you can follow them on X here. From the gameplay systems to the visuals, everything has been created by one person, and you can feel that passion in every detail.

Release Date

If you’re into relaxing gameplay, charming worlds, and supporting indie creators, this is definitely one to watch.

The Hawkers has no current release date as it is still in development. There will be a Kickstarter launching soon, though! Add it to your Steam Wishlist now, and look forward to possible Nintendo Switch and PlayStation releases after launch. I am also hosting a giveaway over on my X/Twitter!
