Windup Games released a free demo for the open-world adventure game Hela: The Little Mouse and the Magic Forest during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase. Players control a mouse familiar serving a witch who has fallen ill, exploring a world based on Swedish nature, gathering materials and helping animals. The game supports co-op for up to four players and launches December 1 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with Shochiku Games publishing in Japan.
Windup Games showed the demo during the Triple-i Initiative Showcase, and it covers a slice of the world plus the basic play loop. The mouse carries a magic frog backpack and can swing like a rope or glide through the air while collecting materials for the witch's medicine.
Co-op supports up to four players. Playing solo, a magic clone stands in for a second character to solve puzzles and get past traps. The full game is set for December 1 on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Shochiku Games handles publishing in Japan.
