Released on October 5, 2017, for PC via Steam, the game follows Hat Kid, a small space-traveling girl who stitches hats for special powers, on a mission to recover her lost fuel, the Time Pieces, scattered across a nearby planet after a run-in with the Mafia of Cooks.

Description



A Hat in Time is a cute-as-heck 3D platformer featuring a little girl who stitches hats for wicked powers.

A little girl and her spaceship

In A Hat in Time you play as a tiny space-travelling girl with a big tophat. Her adventure is halted when all her fuel, the Time Pieces, is lost and scattered across a nearby planet. Hat Kid must now jump, fight and stitch new hats to make her way into every nook and cranny of this new world in order to restore her fuel and resume her journey. On her way, she'll bump into the menacing Mafia of Cooks, the goofy birds of Dead Bird Studio, the spooky shadows of Subcon Forest, and more!

Murder on a train! Parades! Trespassing in a movie studio?

Every mission in A Hat in Time is unique! At one moment you'll be solving the Murder on the Owl Express by finding clues and interrogating the locals, the next moment you'll be the band marshal in The Big Parade, or sneaking through the bird-run Dead Bird Studio!

Small child, giant worlds

Jump freely around in 5 massive worlds with new adventures to discover around every corner! Just like any child, Hat Kid loves to climb and explore, no mountain is too big for her sense of adventure. She can do multiple jump moves, as well as climb walls, and swing over gaps!

Cute hats, magical yarn and snappy badges

By finding and collecting rare magical yarn, Hat Kid can stitch new cute hats with a variety of abilities, including a witch hat that allows her to cook explosive concoctions, and a wooden ghost mask that allows her to peek into other dimensions. Hats can become even more powerful, by attaching badges that are found, sold and traded by the locals!

Community-funded, community-focused

A Hat in Time was successfully funded on Kickstarter, reaching nearly 10 times its goal! In order to celebrate our community, A Hat in Time is releasing with full modding and Steam Workshop support, an in-game screenshot mode, and more!

About A Hat in Time

A Hat in Time is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer developed by Gears for Breakfast and published by Humble Bundle, an independent studio spanning four countries that grew from lead developer Jonas Kærlev's solo project starting in August 2012. The game was funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2013, raising $296,360 against an initial goal of $30,000, and released on Steam for Windows and macOS on October 5, 2017, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions following that December through publisher Humble Bundle, and a Nintendo Switch version arriving in October 2019.

Hat Kid's journey home is cut short when a Mafia member intercepts her spaceship, demanding a toll, and the ensuing scuffle sends her ship's fuel, the Time Pieces, scattering across a nearby planet below. To recover them, Hat Kid must jump, fight, and stitch new hats granting different powers to make her way through five massive, varied worlds, each with its own distinct theme and cast of characters, from the menacing Mafia of Cooks to the goofy avian workers of Dead Bird Studio and the spooky shadows of Subcon Forest.

Every mission in the game is designed to feel distinct rather than to reuse the same objective structure repeatedly. One mission might have players solving a murder mystery aboard a moving train by gathering clues and interrogating suspects, while another turns them into a marshal leading a parade, or sneaking through a bird-run film studio without getting caught. Hats grant Hat Kid different abilities as she progresses, opening up new traversal and combat options across the open, freely explorable worlds.

Two paid DLC expansions have been released. Seal the Deal, released in September 2018, adds the Arctic Cruise world and Death Wish, an exceptionally difficult challenge mode, alongside a large collection of cosmetic outfits, flairs, dyes, and camera filters, and introduces free local split-screen co-op for all players. Nyakuza Metro + Online Party, released in May 2019, adds a Japan-inspired underground city where Hat Kid joins a cat-themed street gang, alongside a new baseball bat weapon and an online multiplayer mode supporting up to 50 players in a single shared world.

The PC version supports mods through the Steam Workshop. A Hat in Time holds a Metacritic score of 79 and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam.
