About this game

Hampstead is an adventure game centered on the pursuit of social status rather than treasure. You begin as a nobody aiming to become a somebody, with success depending on problem-solving more than quick reactions.

Progress involves more than accumulating money. You must cultivate admiration and respect, appear knowledgeable about art, choose suitable clothes, visit the right places, live in the right house, find the right partner, and use the correct transport. The challenges become harder as the game continues.
