About

Bookmark Hero is a fantasy, peripheral-idle RPG. Play from a bookmark-sized window on the side of your screen and instruct your hero with queued tasks. Watch as they explore lands, conquer monsters, hone skills, craft gear, and embark on quests. Even as you work, their legend unfolds.













Development Roadmap

August 2026

Melee and Metal Update

This update will complete the melee mechanics by adding the Mining and Smithing skills, allowing you to create a full set of plate armour.

Late September 2026

Ranged and Magic Skills

Melee is only the beginning. This update adds bows and ammunition, staves and spells, giving you multiple combat style options.

Quality of Life Update

A pass on the systems you live in every day.

  • Food and auto-eating. Ability to equip food items and have your hero auto-eat when low on health.
  • Dialogue. Overhaul of internal dialogue systems. This has been long overdue, but this update will enable us to create better dialogue with less effort.
  • Books. Log Book and Map Book reorganised so people, places, and quests are easier to find.
December 2026

New Skills Update

One new survival skill and three new crafting skills will be added:

  • Fishing for catching and cooking.
  • Fletching for arrows and ranged supplies.
  • Scribe for your magical spells.
  • Tailoring for cloth gear alongside existing armour.
Late December 2026 - Late January 2027

Break for Marketing

Feature work pauses so we can refresh the Steam page, trailers, store art, and press kit ahead of the winter festivals.

February 2027

Steam Next Fest

A week-long Steam event for upcoming games. We will put a playable Bookmark Hero build in your hands for free: take an adventurer through the current world, leave feedback, and wishlist ahead of Early Access.

14–18 January 2027

Desktop Companion Fest

Desktop Companion Fest is a Steam-themed event for games that live on your desktop while you do other things — widgets, pets, idle companions, and similar “sit beside your work” titles. During the fest they get a dedicated Steam hub so those games are easier to browse, wishlist, and try.

Early Access Launch

The aim is a version you can buy and keep while the world is still growing. We will open Early Access when combat, production, saves, and a first slice of places and quests are in a state we would stand behind.
