A hamster companion that sits on your desktop

Hamster Talk is an idle game that stays open alongside whatever else you're doing. Your hamsters wander across the screen on their own, playing with items and going about their day while you game, study, or work. Nothing demands your attention — leaving the game running is enough for the day with the hamsters to keep going. Tapping a hamster gives an instant reaction, and petting, feeding, and cleaning their space brings out happy moments and affectionate behaviors over time.

Farming and resource gathering

Popo Farm is where you put your hamsters to work. They move around the farm while producing resources: growing crops like carrots and blueberries, and spinning their running wheels to gather materials for you. It runs on its own, so the farm keeps producing while you're focused elsewhere, and you come back to collect what's built up.

Visiting other players' towns

Hamster Talk includes online co-op with a social side. You can visit other players' hamster towns and leave a heart on the ones you like, and the Plaza lets you chat with users from around the world. Your hamster comes along to these visits, so meeting people happens through the town you've built rather than through menus.

Building a town in your own style

Decorations are the main way to shape your town. Placing different decorations changes how the space looks, and play decorations specifically affect behavior — your hamsters interact with them and move around in their own ways. Arranging things freely lets you bring specific hamster movements to life on screen, so the town ends up reflecting your taste rather than a preset layout.

Before you start

This is a casual, singleplayer-friendly idler with online features layered on top, so it works fine as a quiet background game if you'd rather not engage with the social side right away. Expect a slow, steady pace: resources accumulate, affection builds over time spent together, and progress comes from leaving things running rather than from constant input. It's a 2D game built around being a desktop companion, so the natural way to play is to keep it open in a corner and check in whenever you feel like it.
