Hex Town - A Cozy Collaborative Tile-Placing Game

What is Hex Town?

It's a quirky game where you solve puzzles, collect rewards, and grow little towns along the way. It feels like piecing together a living jigsaw puzzle with procedural beauty in a serene atmosphere.

You can play solo or co-op with up to three friends. While playing solo, it's a quiet and contemplative puzzle. With friends, it's a way to flex your puzzle-solving skills and be creative together.

Hex Town takes the meditative city-builder foundations of games like Townscaper, Tiny Glade, and Dorfromantik, and naturally extends them with online co-op and a progression loop.
