You play as a young heroine in a Norse-mythology-inspired world threatened by Egther, the last Frost Giant, who intends to freeze the world. Her journey begins in a harsh, wintry wilderness and leads through encounters with mythical creatures and other characters.
Explore locations, talk with characters, gather and use objects, and solve point-and-click puzzles. RPG-style combat lets you face hostile creatures, while cold and hunger can make survival more difficult.
Choose from warrior, sorceress, and rogue approaches, then develop your character with skills. Different classes can overcome many obstacles in different ways, so puzzle solutions and routes through situations can vary between playthroughs.
Reviewers who enjoy the game often praise its classic point-and-click and RPG blend, Norse setting, and the different ways classes can solve puzzles. Its story, characters, retro presentation, and voice acting also receive positive mentions. Some reviewers, however, find the controls confusing, certain puzzles difficult to infer, or the survival demands and pacing frustrating.
