10 itemsAbout the Game
Hedenite is a first-person 2D point-and-click/visual novel adventure game. It is set in an anachronistic world inspired by the city of Kyiv, its architecture, railway transport, and people.
You are eM and you just finished school in Heden, or the Lower Town, home to merchants, geographers, and smugglers. You dream of studying in Vaughis, the resplendent Upper City, and today your dream comes true: you are invited to Vaughis University! But there’s a catch: you must pass an exam in history—the only subject you weren’t taught at school. With the help of a curious magnet warping space and time, you’ll turn the streets of Heden into history books to reveal forgotten mysteries that will change everything.
