== Gameplay ==
The Hilda games are graphic adventures played from a first-person view. The player can examine and interact with objects, which enables puzzle solving in the form of fetch quests and making changes to the environment. The player can explore locations and communicate with non-playable characters. Dialogue exchanges feature branching options in conversation. In some instances, choices in dialogue will alter and affect the story through short or long-term consequences. For each one of the choices, something good in the short term could turn out worse later.
== Main Games ==
The video game universe will be a seperate canon to the graphic novels and the Netflix series. Unlike the graphic novel and the Netflix series, the Hilda games will recieve "Teen" ratings from the ESRB. The decision of having T rated Hilda games was made so that developers can get out of their comfort zones and think about deeper topics. As of Hilda and the Watercolors, the series will occasionally get "Mature" ratings from the ESRB.
The Hilda video game franchise will have similarities to the Life is Strange franchise.
