Our take on Hairy Little Buggers

The pitch presents digging, crafting, construction, survival, needs management, and combat together, but also sets an 8+ hour playtime. That combination points to a broad management framework within a defined-length experience rather than an explicitly open-ended settlement simulator.

What is Hairy Little Buggers?

Manage a settlement of dwarves as they excavate tunnels, make tools, construct workshops and living spaces, cultivate farms, and organize defenses.

The game includes physical and emotional needs for the dwarves, along with warrior training and battles against goblins. Construction progresses from basic stone materials toward steel equipment. Survival takes place across deserts, frozen wastelands, and ash-covered plains. The stated playtime is 8+ hours. Its presentation also includes rude jokes, bad puns, and humor centered on bodily functions. The game combines settlement management, resource production, construction, survival, and combat within a dwarf-focused setting.
