Set a reminder and join us for an exclusive glimpse into what’s next for 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.

🌲 Explore, relax, and play your way[/h3]

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.



[h3]🧪 Playful mechanics & puzzly fun[/h3]

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.)

💚 A cozy space to explore, unwind, and smile[/h3]

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.
