2024-11-18 | BEAUTIFUL game, I'm so happy I came across it. I'm a nerd for norse mythology so I love it even more, but fantastic art and storyline. There seems to be an issue with the hints, it's really hard to scroll through them so they're hard to use, but other than that I'm happy with everything! No ads or payments needed which is great but I honestly would pay even if there were. Absolutely recommend. | ||
2022-12-03 | I cannot sing this game's praises enough. It's simply beautiful, the story is compelling but smooth, the music is incredible, and the references to viking myth would make any folklorist swoon with delight. It's definitely easier if you know a few Norse myths, but the hints are plentiful and ACTUALLY FREE. There is not one whiff of commercialism-- it's just a work of art that they want to share with you. I really appreciate that. Its simply the best click adventure game I've finished in years. | ||
2020-08-17 | I would really like to play this as it looks beautifully made & intriguing, but it keeps crashing on me every other minute. Makes it utterly unplayable. Edit: Dev replied to my email saying they've had occasional probs with my make of phone. I downloaded to my tablet (by another manufacturer) and the game played without a hitch. Stars based on that experience. Lovely game, wonderful art & voice acting. | ||
2020-03-22 | Beautiful graphics, well laid out and cool story line. Took a little bit to familiarize myself with what to look for. Surprised there wasn't a map so that was a little tedious. Also, you can't fast forward through the dialogue which drags it out. Grateful for the hints ( all free ). I don't know if I could have made it through without them. Sad this was their only game, I was looking forward to playing more from them. A great distraction from the craziness of the Coronavirus! THANK YOU!! | ||
2020-01-09 | I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Sometimes the puzzles were a bit confusing, but overall I loved the artwork, music, attention to detail and simplicity. Really does a good job with the Norse culture and mythology. Hints available are really nice so I didn't need to constantly look up how to complete the more complicated tasks. Great game! | ||
2020-01-07 | Very pretty graphics, ok story but too much running around, a bit nonsensical puzzles and multiple locations that look similar to each other (two waterfalls, two ice craters etc). Didn't get a sense of how the world was laid out led to even more running back and forth. Uninstalled 2/3rds of the way through. But very pretty | ||
2019-12-03 | Very well done game. The level of challenge was perfect. I was able to solve the game without needing hints, but it took a lot of thinking over a few days. The Lore was immersive and the art was beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. The only issue I noticed was that sometimes the sound dropped out and I had to restart. | ||
2019-10-05 | This is the best mobile game I have ever played, the riddles and puzzles made sense but were still tricky to solve, the artwork and music is stunning, I LOVE the Nordic narration, there's no ads-- yeah, there's nothing not to love about this game. Made me want to go check out books on Norse mythology and listen to old Icelandic songs. This felt like a good Nancy Drew game, actually. Definitely shorter, I finished in about 2 1/2 hours while using hints, but the gameplay was excellent. | ||
2019-09-19 | Beautiful game, spooky ambiance, very immersive. No problems on my Note 8 whatsoever. Just wish they'd have an option to skip the speaking, the language was beautiful but painstakingly slow. The singing though blew me away... I stood there messing with it, not finishing the puzzle just to listen to their dreamlike voices. Pretty cool overall. | ||
2019-09-06 | Beautiful and interesting game! The graphics and music are captivating. The story is intriguing and the puzzles to find clues are not hard to solve at all. I never once found that I was stuck without any idea how to continue like some other games I've played. There are hints built into the game but I found I didnt need to use them. This game was a very enjoyable few hours. I just wish there had been more! Kinda sad its over now. |
