Step into the world of Hela

Hela is an open-world, cozy co-op adventure where you play as... a mouse. But not just any mouse! You’re a brave little witch’s familiar with a magical froggy backpack and a whole world to explore.

It’s all about good vibes, creativity, and having fun with the world around you. Travel through a beautiful Scandinavian-inspired countryside filled with lush forests, wild critters, and nature’s soft magic.

Whether you’re playing solo, teaming up in 2-player local split-screen, or going online with up to 4 players, there’s always something to discover. And yes—split-screen and online co-op can be mixed together!

You’re stepping in for an ancient, kind-hearted witch who’s fallen ill. While searching for a cure, you’ll help out the local villagers—like Holger, an old violin maker hoping to hold onto a special summer memory with his granddaughter.

Every corner of the world is full of touching moments, hidden secrets, and places worth poking your nose into.

You can climb almost anything, swing, glide through the air, and splash through rivers. Your froggy backpack is more than just cute—it’s your best tool for solving physics-based puzzles and getting around.

Bounce off mushrooms, slide down slopes, or launch yourself with catapults—it’s all about experimenting and finding creative solutions.



And while Hela shines in co-op, you can absolutely play solo. With the Shade system, you can clone yourself to solve puzzles that would usually require teamwork. (We love clever mice.)

At its core, Hela is about slowing down, having fun, and reconnecting with the magic of nature. We want it to feel like a warm forest hug, whether you're climbing trees with friends or watching the sunset alone on a rooftop.
