About This Game

Hedenite is a first-person 2D point-and-click/visual novel adventure game.

Join the first playtesters and play the demo right now!

Explore picturesque scenes with interactable objects. You’ll encounter pigeon bugs, metalheads, giant moths, street gawkers — all the usual city stuff.

Don’t be shy, click like there’s no tomorrow!

Engage in conversations with Heden’s quirky residents. Inquire about things or just trade tired jokes and partake in sarcasm competitions.

The more you talk, the more you know. The more you know, the weirder it gets.

Warp space and time to uncover antique objects hidden under the layers of your usual surroundings. You never know what lies just a few inches beneath the surface!

Each object tells a story for you to unravel.

Gather clues, come to fateful conclusions, and reveal an unlikely history no one taught you at school.

You are eM and you just finished school in Heden, or the Lower Town, home to merchants, geographers, and smugglers. You dream of studying in Vaughis, the resplendent Upper City, and today your dream comes true: you are invited to Vaughis University! But there’s a catch: you must pass an exam in history—the only subject you weren’t taught at school.

By exploring the city, talking to locals, and occasionally warping space and time, you’ll turn the streets of Heden into history books to reveal forgotten mysteries that will change everything.
