Hela - Official Nature Deep Dive Trailer

Welcome to Hela, an open-world adventure game inspired by Northern Sweden, where you play as a small agile mouse exploring diverse landscapes like forests, meadows, and misty marshes. You can embark on this journey alone or with others, discovering the joy in small moments. Nature is a central theme in Hela, not just a setting. It's a character in itself, emphasized through music and sound design. The game promotes values like respect for nature, harmony with the land, and the importance of slowing down. The story revolves around harmony and balance, as a kind witch who protected the land has fallen ill, causing her spells to fade. It's now up to you to help the creatures of this world. Hela's world is inspired by real places in Northern Sweden, featuring landscapes like forests, meadows, rocky coastlines, and misty marshes. These are places the development team knows intimately, having captured details to bring the world to life. Nature is a place for exploration, experimentation, and play, where small discoveries bring joy and you can leave daily worries behind. Forest creatures may even become your guides. The music in Hela, composed by Freda Yuansson and Henrik Oya, known for their work on the Unravel series, tells its own story. It responds to the world around you without overwhelming it. Each area has a unique theme, with melodies and instruments reflecting the characters found there. The music is fuller near homes and settlements, and more ambient in the forest, allowing for silence and natural sounds. Hela blends exploration, cooperation, and a deep love for the natural world, inviting players to slow down and reconnect with what truly matters.
