Developer Update: Welcome to Hela

Welcome to Hela, a heartwarming adventure where you will step into the tiny paws of a little mouse and explore the beautiful Scandinavian landscape.

We would like to thank our community for all the warm comments and support we have received so far; it means a lot to us.

Hela tells the story of the helpful mouse familiars of a friendly witch, who aids local folks in overcoming their challenges. As a tiny mouse in this open world filled with magic, you will embark on a friendly and playful experience, whether playing solo or with friends.

With the help of your companion—a magical froggy backpack—you will be able to interact with the rich world around you, collect items, use its tongue as a grappling hook, and more.

September has been an incredibly busy month for us.The team is hard at work creating more of the magical world you will be traveling through in Hela, focusing on implementing the narrative elements of the main quest, finalizing the map of the entire world, and refining the visual elements of individual biomes, from calm meadows to dangerous caves. 

There is a lot of work going forward in crafting all of the experiences waiting to be explored, filling the space with interactive objects, and also working on the models of people and animals that you will encounter on your journey while trying to help the dear old witch get back on her feet.

Check out an interview with Martin Sahlin (Creative Director) and Jakob Marklund (Technical Director) from Windup Games, the developers of Hela:
