NEARstudios is proud (and yes, a little terrified) to announce the launch of the Hawthorn Kickstarter campaign!

Hawthorn is our passion project set in a realm where humble woodland fairytale creatures chase adventure. Where ancient myths seemingly stir just beneath the moss and roots, and where stories and rumors grow like ivy.

Hawthorn is part epic adventure, part cozy day-in-the-life told through the lens of classic fairytale storybooks and fantasy adventure books.

This Kickstarter is more than a funding push; it’s a rallying cry. A stand for creative freedom. For the artists fighting to hold onto their visions in a risk-averse industry. And for anyone who’s ever dreamed of stepping into a world shaped by heart, courage, and imagination.

We’ve been quietly putting in countless hours of planning and preparation for this moment, but we’re thrilled to bring our community along for the journey!

Bring Hawthorn to life with us:

http://www.PlayHawthorn.com/Crowdfunding

Check out our campaign page to learn more about the exclusive in-game items, early bird backer discounts, exciting stretch goals that our supporters can unlock and access to Hawthorn’s Pre-Production Concept Demo!

As a small, self-funded team that’s poured everything into this passion project, today is a huge milestone for us — and we need your help to keep going!

The first day of the campaign is crucial. Early pledges and shares help boost Hawthorn’s visibility on Kickstarter, giving us an edge in the algorithm and making it more likely that we’ll get funded! Making any pledge during the first 24 hours, no matter the amount, will make a huge impact, so please support us today!

Other ways you can help:

• 🐭 Sharing the link on social media
• 🦉 Sharing it in your favorite online communities
• 🦦 Sending it to friends and family who you want to play with!

If Hawthorn made you feel something—a flicker of wonder, a spark of adventure—consider backing or sharing our Kickstarter.

Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey, we truly could not do it without you! Spread the word about the campaign and let’s bring Hawthorn to life!
