INDIANAPOLIS, USA – 9 October 2024 – Indie developer Mighty Beaver Studio is thrilled to announce Hero of the Hive’s participation in Steam Next Fest: October 2024 Edition. Play as a bee in this casual adventure game’s demo, now available on Steam.
Your Hive’s Only Hope
Hero of the Hive is a casual open-world adventure game. When the hive’s Queen Bee goes missing, it’s up to you–a lone worker bee–to save the struggling hive. Without the Queen to guide the colony, the hive has fallen into disrepair, and the local wildlife needs your help. Begin your journey across Hero of the Hive’s colorful world as you gather resources to rebuild your home, assist other animals along your quest, and brave new ecosystems to uncover the hidden secrets of the Aurora Basin. It’s time to become the hero your hive needs!
Pollination Station
With the Queen missing, you must venture out into the vast Aurora Basin in search of vital resources for your colony. Collect the staples–pollen, nectar, and propolis–to support your bee’s needs. Along the way, you may uncover unique collectibles to diversify your hive even more! Rare flowers yield different upgrades and opportunities to expand the hive, and hidden Nature Notes provide details on the world’s different biomes and snippets of the game’s lore. The Aurora Basin boasts three different biomes, each with its own flora and fauna varieties. Begin your journey in the basin’s vast meadow before venturing beyond into the lush mountains and barren desert. Along the way, help the local wildlife by resolving disputes, finding lost items, and assisting with small projects. There are eight species to help, each with unique characteristics and fun dialogue!
A Place to Call Home
Exploring the Aurora Basin and collecting valuable resources is vital to rebuilding your hive. In the Queen’s absence, the colony is neglected, and many bees have fled the hive. Encouraging their return means repairing their home and reopening businesses to cater to their needs. Ten rooms are scattered throughout the space to rebuild and redesign. Use your collected resources to return these spaces to their former glory, allowing new businesses to thrive and creating places for new bees to call home. Completing missions and repairing the hive also unlocks options to customize your bee in vibrant colors or fun hats. Dress up your bee to stand out as new members pour in. To celebrate a job well done, host a dance party on your improved dance floor and show off your moves
Gameplay Features:
An Open World: Explore the Aurora Basin, a vibrant world with three unique biomes, each with its own regional specialties.
Lend A Helping Hand: Bees hold ecosystems together! With the hive in disrepair, other animals around the basin require your help. Uncover eight different species to interact with and befriend, each with their own witty dialogue.
Learning and Growing: Gather resources vital to bees–including pollen, nectar, and propolis–and see how they impact your ecosystem!
Repair and Rebuild: Repair ten different spaces in the hive, creating small shops and gathering places to encourage new bees to join the colony. Customize them as you’d like, and watch your home grow!
Breaking Down: As you repair different spaces around the hive, save room for a dance floor! Once it’s cleared, host a party with your fellow hivemates and show off your best moves.
Custom Colors: Unlock 18 different hats to customize your bee, and try different color combinations to create your standout look.
Hero of the Hive has a demo available on Steam and will launch later this year. Wishlist the title to receive a notification when the game’s released, and follow the studio on Twitter for the latest news.
