Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of The Rings™ Game – A Cozy Slice of Middle-earth

Life as a Hobbit – No Rings, Just Relaxation

Middle-earth is known for epic journeys, fearsome battles, and a certain troublesome ring. But Tales of the Shire takes a very different approach. This time, you’re not saving the world—you’re living in it. Wētā Workshop’s cozy life-sim lets you step into furry feet and embrace the slow, heartwarming life of a Hobbit in the Shire. Expect warm meals, lush gardens, and lazy afternoons by the water’s edge. Adventure is out there, but only if you feel like it.

Build, Cook, Fish – The Simple Joys of the Shire

In Tales of the Shire, you create your very own Hobbit, settle into a snug little hole, and get to work (in the most relaxing sense of the word). Cook rustic meals, decorate your home with that unmistakable Hobbit charm, go fishing in calm rivers, and trade with friendly neighbors. The game focuses on small but meaningful interactions, making every task—from planting carrots to perfecting a pie—feel like part of a larger, cozy story.

A World Full of Charm (and Familiar Faces)

Fans of The Lord of the Rings™ will love how lovingly this game treats Tolkien’s world. You’ll explore iconic corners of the Shire, meet familiar names, and soak in the sights and sounds that make Middle-earth feel like home. The art style leans into warmth and whimsy, making every sunrise in Bywater worth pausing for. And while there’s no dark lord looming over your head, there’s a sense of quiet adventure as you help your little village flourish.

Perfect for Fans of Cozy Games and Tolkien Lore

Tales of the Shire is a love letter to those who always dreamed of living like a Hobbit. If you enjoy games that let you slow down, decorate, cook, and connect with NPCs rather than fight your way through danger, this one’s for you. It may not have epic quests or intense battles, but it’s packed with heart, nostalgia, and that unmistakable Hobbit spirit. Sometimes, the best adventures are the quiet ones.
