It was announced by Snowcannon Games, that the classic point-and click-adventure game, The Frostrune, based on Viking myth and legend is out now on PC/Mac and mobile/tablet after four years in production!
Check out the trailer of The Frostrune, featuring some gameplay footage:
“For four years the Norwegian game developers that make up Grimnir, have been working on creating a point-and-click adventure game set in Viking history and environment. The team is both inspired by classic point-and-click adventure games such as Myst and the history and lore of the Viking era. Through gorgeous handpainted art and masterful storytelling the team takes us on a journey of old Nordic myth and legend.
“It’s important to us to be as authentic to the era as possible,” said Executive Producer, Audun Refsahl. “The Vikings had such a love for good storytelling and they had such a rich world of myths and legends, how could we NOT make a point-and-click adventure game with all that rich content available?”
Grimnir met at a Viking reenactment camp, and through their enthusiasm for Viking history and stories, they started creating the point-and-click adventure game, The Frostrune. Through development, they have been passionate in creating a game that both Viking enthusiasts and adventure gamers would enjoy playing.
“We know that many Viking enthusiasts are more interested in playing a game on their phone or tablet, whilst the point-and-click adventure gamers enjoy playing games on their PC,” said Refsahl. “That’s why we wanted to launch on both mobile/tablet and PC/Mac—to make sure all that would enjoy the game the most would be able to access it.”
