About our Game

HeartwoodVillageLogo_02.png

Heartwood Village is a snackable narrative adventure built for two! Relax, explore and be silly together in the tiny open-world of Heartwood Village.

Play as Panda and Cat who start as strangers and leave as friends as you take on the very important task of helping the villagers prepare for the annual Heart-of-the-Tree festival.

Relationships will flourish as you laugh together, play together, and learn to work as a team.
