9 itemsAbout the Game
Play as Heidi, a young woman who escapes the city life by returning to the mountains of her youth. Taken in by your grumpy but kind grandfather, you are entrusted with caring for his goats and gradually become part of a small alpine village, where you take part in shaping its future.
Through branching dialogue and personal choices, you'll support villagers in rebuilding not just their homes but their lives. Will you embrace slow living or push for bolder change?
As Heidi settles into mountain life, bonds deepen and hearts open. Your relationships may grow into friendship or something more romantic: who Heidi chooses to love is yours to decide.
Inspired by the spirit of the Heidi novels, the narrative explores themes of healing through nature, the importance of helping one another, and the different ways to rebuild a community.
Guide your goats through blooming meadows, help them find the best flowers to graze, and keep them happy with toys and attention. In return, they'll provide milk and wool, which are precious resources for the village's revival.
Use what nature provides to create artisanal products like cheese, wool clothing, herbal remedies, and wooden crafts. Trade or share these with villagers to help improve their homes and livelihoods. Every choice helps shape your relationship with the community.
Wander across lush valleys, quiet forests, and high-altitude lakes. Herd goats, forage for herbs and mushrooms, and fish in peaceful alpine waters. As you aid the village, you'll unlock new abilities that make it easier to climb, leap, and uncover parts of your newfound world.
