Play as Adèle, a young woman who escapes harsh city life to find peace in the mountains. Taken in by a grumpy but kind old man, you're entrusted with caring for his goats and gradually become part of a small alpine village, where life moves gently but meaningfully.
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.
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? Stay cozy within the village or open up to what lies beyond?
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.
Hi everyone!
August has been an incredible month for Heidis Legacy from new features in the demo to our very first public showing at Gamescom! Lets dive in.
A Brand-New Recipe Mini-Game
Weve been working hard to implement a new recipe system for the demo, just in time for Gamescom!\nIn this mini-game, youll combine 2, 3, or 4 ingredients by aligning them in the correct order to craft handmade goods. Bonus lines even give you extra items - so planning your moves carefully really pays off.

Its a fun way to bring crafting to life, and were excited for you to try it in the demo.
A Peek at Birgits House
Next up: more progress on our 3D-but-2D pipeline with Blender.

Soon, Adele will be able to go talk to Birgit and help her with various cooking quests!
Chickens, Goats and More!
Gamescom was fast approaching, and before we left, we shared a few more sneak peeks of our 3D models: a chicken coop and a picnic table.

The chickens will be roaming in Birgits garden, while the picnic table will be used by Grandpa and others to gather and discuss at the end of the day.
Adeles First Time at Gamescom
And then came the big event! We showcased Heidis Legacy for the very first time at Gamescom 2025 as part of the Indie Arena Booth - and what an experience it was!
Hundreds of players stopped by to try the demo, giving us incredible feedback (and plenty of goat love ).
[/*]We met with many potential partners, opening new doors for the games future.
[/*]And of course, we caught up with lots of fellow dev friends the Indie Arena Booth community always makes this event so special!
