A Hat in Time

A Hat in Time:Hat Kid and a large man on a wooden walkway
Hat Kid and a large man on a wooden walkway1 / 10

Jump through an adventure to recover your spaceship’s fuel, stitching hats with different powers from yarn.

What makes it fun

  1. Movement worth a detour

    Climb walls, double jump, and dive through the air as you roam wide areas. Even wandering without a destination can be a pleasure.

  2. A new task around the corner

    One mission sends you sneaking through a bird-run film studio. Others have you investigate a case on a train or roam a mountain region freely.

  3. Hats change how you move

    Hats stitched from yarn can let you run faster or turn into a block of ice. Switching hats changes how you make your way forward.
