Helheim Hassle

About

Helheim Hassle casts you as Bjørn a Viking who avoids violence by any means. His solution to obstacles involves detaching limbs reattaching them to form tools or bridges and using this odd ability to navigate levels packed with traps and Norse mythology. You’ll interact with gods goblins and skeletons while sidestepping combat to complete objectives. The gameplay loops around physics-based puzzles where timing and creative use of body parts matter more than strength. The game leans into dark humor and absurdity with a tone similar to its predecessor Manual Samuel. Community stats show 41 achievements with the hardest "COMP1337IONIST" at 2.5% clearance. It runs on Switch and PC with cross-platform availability letting players tackle its macabre charm anywhere. The blend of quirky storytelling and precise puzzle design keeps it engaging for fans of offbeat indie adventures.

Storyline

From the same universe (and set on the same Tuesday in fact) as previous hit Manual Samuel, comes this macabre adventure where you play as Bjørn, a pacifist Viking who hates the idea of dying and going to Valhalla… who then ends up dying and getting taken to Valhalla. When Bjørn is resurrected to assist with a task for the mysterious Pesto, he sees a way to negotiate his way out. Using Bjørn’s undying corpse with its ability to detach and combine limbs at will, players must solve challenging puzzles and navigate tricky levels in order to retrieve a certain magical item... In return, Pesto will try to grant Bjørn a permanent residence in Helheim - what a hassle!
