A Hat in Time is a platform action-adventure video game developed by Gears for Breakfast for macOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[2][3][4] The game was developed using Unreal Engine 3 and funded through a Kickstarter campaign, which doubled its fundraising goals within its first two days.[5] It is inspired by earlier 3D platformers in the late 1990s and early 2000s such as Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Psychonauts, and Super Mario Sunshine.[6][7] The game was self-released for Microsoft Windows and macOS in October 2017, and was published by Humble Bundle for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles two months later.[8]
