About This Game

A village that lives on your desktop

Townlet is a tiny pixel-art village that lives in a thin strip just above your Windows taskbar. It only shows when your desktop does, never steals focus and never pops up notifications. Seven-pixel villagers chop wood, hammer at the forge, gossip in the square and head home when night falls, while you get on with your day.

Your trash is their treasure

Every time you delete a file, it drops into the village from the sky. The villagers carry it to the square, study it and turn it into knowledge. Pictures inspire artists, documents fill the scribe's shelves, music brings minstrels to town. Discoveries unlock new buildings, decorations and events, so no two villages grow the same way. Townlet never opens, moves or deletes your files. It only notices what kind of file landed in the Recycle Bin and how big it was. Nothing ever leaves your computer.

From campfire to walled town

Start with a single campfire and grow through village, town and city into a walled town with its own castle

Real seasons and a real day-night cycle: blossoms in spring, snow in winter, lantern light at night

Rain, storms, fog and starry skies

Markets, fairs, a town crier with the news, travelling minstrels and many small surprises

Pick up a villager and drop them somewhere else, just to see what they say

Decorate the village your way and design its banner

Keep a village ledger of your discoveries, history and the events you've seen

Take a picture of your village and share it

Calm by design

Nothing ever goes wrong in Townlet. No deaths, no famine, no fires, no lost progress. The village only ever grows. A soft seasonal soundtrack plays while your desktop is in view, and the village quietly fades out the moment you open a full-screen window.
