Start your workouts, stock up on sunflower seeds, and get ready for a delightfully swole adventure where the muscle is mighty, the cheeks are stuffed, and the vibes are incredibly wholesome.
Hamster & Himbos is a hilariously charming, 40-page standalone solo journaling and stat-boosting roleplaying game. Released in 2024 by Wet Ink Games, this tongue-in-cheek zine casts you as a incredibly buff, well-meaning "Himbo" who has dedicated their life to the care, protection, and absolute spoiling of their tiny, incredibly demanding hamster companion. Utilizing a simple dice-and-journaling system, the game challenges you to navigate everyday neighborhood obstacles, pump iron at the local gym, and complete epic quests to secure the finest bedding and premium treats for your furry roommate.
The game is a heartwarming parody of traditional fantasy grind loops, replacing grim dungeons with cozy slice-of-life adventures. Instead of slaying monsters, your day-to-day tasks involve lifting heavy things, offering sincere compliments to strangers, and making sure your hamster doesn't accidentally escape into the couch cushions. Your character is built around traits like Brawn, Heart, and Grooming. With dozens of prompt tables that simulate everything from intense bench-press sessions to delicate pet-store negotiations, Hamster & Himbos offers a hilarious, stress-free solo experience that celebrates positive masculinity, healthy habits, and the unconditional love of small rodents.
