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.
Hey everyone!\n
October was a packed month for us on Heidis Legacy, and were excited to share everything weve been working on behind the scenes. This update touches UI, gameplay, worldbuilding, and core systems. Lots of invisible but important progress!
The Quest Wheel - small interface, BIG work
One of the biggest features we tackled this month is something we internally call the Quest Wheel.\nIts a clean, simple interface that gathers all quests from all NPCs in one place, making it easier to track your progress.

From there, you can choose to watch a quest: this pins a small blue ribbon to the top-right corner of your HUD, helping you remember the task without overwhelming the screen.\n

It may look like a modest little interface but behind it lies a huge amount of work: quest structuring, tracking logic, UI integration, and making everything react to players choices.
We\'re really proud of how it turned out!
Peter Helps With Goat Herding!
Big news for goat lovers: Peter can now shepherd your goats for you!
If you craft him a sweet treat like Birgit\'s berry cake and drop it in his new little basket, he will happily take over the morning goat herding duties.

Youll find him sitting on his small wooden stool, watching the herd with his usual laid-back charm.
\n
A Bench to Control Time
Weve added a peaceful-looking bench that does more than offer a nice place to sit: it gives you control over the flow of time!

By interacting with it, you can now skip ahead to the next time segment (e.g., morning afternoon).\nThis is especially handy since certain activities, like using Birgits stove, only happen at specific times of day.
No more waiting around, the pace is truly in your hands.
\n
A New Save System
This month we also implemented a robust save system!
The game now features:
4 independent save slots
[/*]Auto-saving every time time passes (morning afternoon evening)
[/*]The ability to save manually in any other slot
[/*]

This means you can keep a bookmark before important narrative choices. It makes it easier to experiment with different paths or outcomes in the story.
\n
Expanding the Village New Area + New NPC House
On the worldbuilding side, we worked on the southern section of the village.\nWe refined the terrain in Blender, adjusting elevation, paths, and overall composition to better match the storys progression.

We also added a new WIP house: this will become the home of a brand-new NPC arriving in Act 3 (well introduce them properly when the time comes!)
Its still early, but the village is really starting to come together piece by piece.
\n
Paris Games Week!
Last but not least, we showcased the game for 4 days at Paris Games Week!
Hundreds of players got to try the demo, share feedback and chat with us about cozy games, goats and Alpine life. It was our first time showing this demo in France (our home country!) and the reception was incredibly warm, a lot of players played all until the end
