A story-rich action-adventure game about childhood escapism, The Wild at Heart invites players to take command of a magical swarm of curious creatures to battle precarious wildlife and supernatural foes, construct and craft new pathways, and discover the secrets of a forgotten world.

In The Wild at Heart, players will embark on a journey with 12-year-old Wake and his best friend, Kirby, as they unwittingly stumble into another world filled with magical creatures, an eccentric society devoted to the forest’s protection, and an ancient conflict at the tipping point of chaos. Together, Wake and Kirby must restore this ancient society of the Greenshields before the all-consuming Never is unleashed upon the world.

A mysterious hidden realm. Two precocious kids fleeing hardship. Magical creatures and an oddball order of guardians who have lost their way. A stygian evil imprisoned. Welcome to the Deep Woods.

Collect and deploy a swarm of quirky Spritelings; small magical creatures for you to command. Break stuff, collect loot, fight enemies, build new paths, and more!
