Keep a light.
Give something back.
“I’m the only person who knows Developer Unknown’s true identity. The universe he left belongs to the friendships we build inside it.”
A story across your screens
Programmer Unknown—known as Developer Unknown in the old logs—hid incubating guardian designs throughout the digital world. Their clues live in different places: Little Hearth on the website, the Android app, and the desktop world. Your connected buddies keep their identity, levels, equipment and memories as they travel.
Eggs unlock guardian models for your existing buddies to inhabit. Your chosen buddy keeps their story, skills and earned growth. The final hidden model is called Cipher.

Rovie Dixon plans a $100 prize, paid through Cash App, for the first verified eligible discoverer of Unknown’s ultra-rare guardian when the cash event officially opens.
The cash event is not accepting entries yet. Its opening date, eligibility, closing conditions, winner verification, tie handling and claim procedure will be published here before it starts. No cash winner has been declared. Discovery records currently belong to the game and do not guarantee cash eligibility.
Playing, linking a device and discovering an egg require no entry fee. Purchases and donations never buy eligibility or improve a player’s place in the discovery review. Cash App is the proposed payment method, not a sponsor or partner.
As the Nest grows
As Nest Buddies grows, available surplus funds may support future cash prizes—carrying on Developer Unknown’s wish to give something back to the people who bring his world to life.
Future prizes depend on available funds. Each funded event will have its own announcement and rules; there is no guaranteed schedule or income from playing.
