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! \nAnother cozy month has flown by, and we are excited to share what we have been working on for Heidis Legacy!
More life through VFX
\nWe spent quite some time polishing visual effects across the game to make actions feel more satisfying.

You can now see clearer feedback when goats munch on the right flowers, when a production mini game succeeds, and during the mushroom digging mini game. We still need to add more, these small touches are essential to any video game!
A world full of sound
\nSound design also got a huge upgrade this month! Where we once only had music and a few UI sounds, the game is now filled with ambience.
You can hear the village hens come alive, windy atmospheres higher up in the mountains, frogs croaking near the ponds, birds chirping, footsteps for Adle and the goats, goats bleating, and many new UI sounds!
It has completely changed how the world feels.
Cozy Quest highlights
November was extra special because we were part of Cozy Quest ! Were incredibly grateful and excited to have been included

We participated in a panel with the organizers and recorded a fully commented Lets Play with subtitles, which we sometimes use for livestreams directly on the Steam page.
Huge thanks to the Cozy Quest organizer Secret Mode for making this happen
Introducing the Mood mechanic
We added a new gameplay system called Mood, which reflects how Adle is feeling day to day. Working too hard will lower it, while resting, socializing, and doing fulfilling activities will raise it.

Every action now clearly shows whether it will improve or reduce your mood, adding a new layer of choice and balance to daily life in the mountains.
Hello Indie Live Expo
\nAnd finally, we were honored to be part of the Indie Live Expo Steam sales page, a major Japanese festival! For the occasion, we created a brand-new version of our trailer, fully voiced over in Japanese, with subtitles!
As a French duo, were very fond of Japanese culture, so we really enjoyed working on this trailer
