Hello, enjoyers of Happy Hobgoblin's labor fruits!
To save you some time in you busy schedule, the summary of this post is that Happy Hobgoblin is going to dissolve and all its games, including this one, will be taken off Steam Store. If you already own it, nothing will change.
Now, the reason for this is that due to the difficulty of game development (actually, game sales) and the pandemic, the people at Happy Hobgoblin have decided slowly to move on to other industries or other projects. It was nothing dramatic, just a natural growth. Nobody also wanted the responsibility of all the administrative bureaucracy, taxes and other legally mandated things, so we decided to dissolve the company and distribute the IP's to the people who in our minds should own them.
Thus, this decision. While in principle it is sad, for a lot of us it's a relief, as now we can focus our lives fully on the next parts, so don't feel sad. Hopefully this was informative and educational, and again, thank you for playing our games!
Respectfully,
Samuli Raninen
A lethal pandemic swept through the globe, mutating vermin into an aggressive menace and threatening to snuff out the light of humanity. Now my children, the survivors of the disease are rising back up, unwilling to let me become a hollow shell on the coast." - The city of Nyheim
Nyheim is a game of risk management and rolling dice. In Nyheim you will gather a group of survivors, each contributing one or more eight-sided dice to the party. When you rest or explore in a location, you roll the dice and attempt to get the results that cards in the location require. Food, items and skills will grant you rerolls and ways to manipulate the dice, while injuries, threats and hardships will reroll them when you don't want to or remove them altogether!
Your ultimate goal is to survive through the winter, gather enough population, or rebuild Nyheim's hydroelectric dam. Crises, threats and ever-looming threat of starvation will make the road to victory harsh and unforgiving.
