The Pale Beyond News & Patch Notes

Clear the table and set everyone's places, because we've got some exciting news from the Story Rich Showcase! First and foremost, we announced that the game would be arriving in 2026 - that's right - this year!

Watch the dev update for the latest on The Hearth & Harbour as we explore the town of Lewthport and the community within:

You are an immigrant, Kit Purcell, seeking for a new life in Lewthport by starting your own restaurant. Every month you'll have to pay the rent, but with good food and good company, you'll be able to create a restaurant beloved by the community.

Each morning you'll go shopping for ingredients, and meet some of the townsfolk - stock up for the dishes you want to prepare for the day. You might even do a little exploring within the town, while you're at it!

With your trusty chef Cyril by your side, you'll be able to create delicious dishes and cater to your customers' needs when midday rolls around. If your menu's looking a little bare, making friends with the townsfolk will unlock more dishes for you to cook!

You'll also be able to decorate the restaurant to your liking - choose to make it fancy, comforting, or maybe something in-between. The choices you make in your decorations will attract different types of clientele.

If you want to visit the same world as Lewthport before you experience The Hearth & Harbour, why not play The Pale Beyond, which is also set in the same universe?

And be sure to wishlist The Hearth & Harbour if you haven't already so you can keep up-to-date with all the latest news!

The Pale Beyond is at its highest discount to date at 80% off, to celebrate our announcement of Saltstone Studio's all-new title, The Hearth & Harbour. Make sure you wishlist The Hearth & Harbour below so you keep up-to-date on all the upcoming news, we're really excited for this one!

Hey regulars, we’ve got something special cooking! Today we’re thrilled to share that Saltstone Studios, the team behind The Pale Beyond, is back with a brand new game for PC, The Hearth & Harbour.

The Hearth & Harbour is an adventure management RPG set in the same world and time as The Pale Beyond. This time, the ice has melted into salt air as you step into the seaside town of Lewthport, ready to begin a new life. Your task? Restore the rundown local restaurant, The Silver Spoon, and decide what kind of manager (and neighbor) you’ll become.

At the heart of The Hearth & Harbour lies more than just recipes and renovations. As an immigrant finding your place in a tight-knit town on the brink of war, the restaurant becomes your link to the community.

The Silver Spoon isn’t just where you’ll serve food, it’s where you’ll shape relationships. The menu you craft depends on the connections you build with Lewthport’s townsfolk and, in turn, the dishes you serve will influence who walks through your door. Each decision, from ingredients to décor to staffing, opens new bonds, storylines, and possibilities.

Do you want The Silver Spoon to become a bustling bistro or a greasy local haunt? Will you invest in cozy décor and fresh produce, or cut corners to keep your books balanced? When service begins, you’ll juggle it all through turn-based tactical gameplay that challenges you to satisfy customers, support staff, and keep the business afloat.

Every choice ripples outward, not just shaping the restaurant, but also the lives of Lewthport’s people and the story of the city itself.

Adventure management strategy: balancing décor, staffing, menus, and service
Character-driven storytelling: build relationships and unlock branching story arcs
Customization: design the restaurant of your dreams, from cozy corners to lively tavern tables
A daily cycle: mornings to prepare, afternoons to run the restaurant, and evenings to connect with locals

We can’t wait for you to step into Lewthport and take your seat at our table. Wishlist The Hearth & Harbour now on Steam, and follow Fellow Traveller on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, or jump into our official Fellow Traveller Discord to become a regular at The Silver Spoon from day one.
