Build your cheese empire in the Swiss Alps. Heidi is waiting on her mountain pasture. Buy your first cows, lead them to graze and turn their milk into cheese that ages in your cellar. Every wheel gains value over time — you decide when to sell. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Grow your herd and upgrade your alpine pastures • Craft gruyère, raclette and mountain specialities • Age your wheels in the cellar: the older they get, the more they're worth • Fill market orders before they expire • Adapt to seasons and weather, which change everything up on the mountain • Take on quests and unlock trophies • Live through seasonal events: cattle descent, village markets, fairs A GAME THAT KEEPS GOING WITHOUT YOU Your cows keep producing when the app is closed.
