Blocks the road
Waykeeper
Blocks two travellers and charges when struck.
Agoro Games presents
Agoro Road
Walk gently. Build together.
A cosy tower defense about pressing carved stamps onto a trade road, holding it through the night, and walking it with someone who is never online when you are.
In development for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac, in English and German. The first region is complete and free to play in your browser today.
One stop on the road
Build at dusk, in silence. Hold the road through the night. Walk on at dawn, with everything you placed still standing.
You start the wave. Nobody else does.
Building has no threat in it and defending has no building in it. Drag a stamp from your satchel to a roadside ring, aim its facing, and only when you say so does the road begin to move.
Nothing you place is ever lost.
Return a stamp to the satchel for free. There is no score, no stars, no timer and no leaderboard. If the caravan's goods run out, the road you walked remains, and you walk on.
Walk together, apart.
One road, two travellers. At every fork you must split, and each of you walks a different branch whenever you have time. Once a journey you can go back for the other road: in co-op, that is a gift to your partner. Neither of you is ever asked to be online at the same time, and shared roads are included, free, in the free region.
Every defense is a few hundred bytes.
A run is a seed and a list of what you pressed, so a friend can replay your night exactly, on any device, and it comes out the same.
The Hearthland Road. Seven stops, two forks, one ending. The whole map is visible from the first step, so every choice is an informed one.
Four stamps in the first satchel
They are stamps, not cards. Each one is carved, pressed onto the road, and lifted again whenever you like. Every stamp charges an ability in its own way.
Long reach
Lamplight
Long-range light; charges when acting.
Steady pulse
Echo Drum
Steady pulse; charges over time.
Affordable shelter
Road Garden
Affordable shelter; charges over time.
Who walks the road
Nobody on this road is a monster. They are travellers who want what the caravan carries, and your job is to make them think better of it.
Patient
Road walker
Steady, unhurried, and there are many.
Fast
Swift traveller
Past your Waykeeper before it turns around.
Heavy
Heavy carrier
Slow, strong, and worth every stamp you spend.
What you protect
The caravan
Its goods are the only thing you can lose, and even then the road remains.
Hearthland is playable today
The first region is not a demo. It is a complete road with its own ending, and it is free, in your browser, right now.
- Two distinct defenses, four stamps, and stops that change the rest of your journey.
- Shared roads: create one, send the code, and your partner walks their branch when they can.
- Saves on your device, two-second rewind on return, English and German.
- Whatever ships free stays free. The full road is one unlock, later, and never a subscription.
Sculpted to be held
Every traveller and every stamp on the road is modelled as a real object first, then drawn into the game. Turn them around: these are the traveller sculpts the first figurine run is printed from, in full colour at 10 cm on a clay base. The first test prints came off our own printer on 14 September — the build log has the photographs, scars included.
The same road on a table
Because a defense is only a seed and a list of stamps, it fits on cards. A stamp deck and a sculpted Hearthland board are in design, for the nights when you would rather press a card than a screen.
