  Such a wonderful game with intriguing puzzles that don't ask much of your little grey cells. I completely fell in love with this piece of art. Buy this game if you like norse mythology and/or point& click.

  Just came back from the launch in Oslo and started playing. An hour of gameplay later and I have to physically force myself away from it in order to get to swordpractice on time (I'm the trainer, for heavens sake!) I haven't played a point and click adventure in almost two decades, but this really got me engaged. The atmosphere created by the artwork and music is superb. The puzzles are logical, but challenging. Huge plus that every single object is historically accurate. Well worth the coin.

  Been waiting for this game for a while now, and now it's finally here! I had to take several screenshots while playing just because the artwork is so atmospheric and beautifully done, and as an artistic and creative person I could really feel the inspiration flowing right away. The music is also great, and the puzzles were actually just challeging enough for me, it wasn't too difficult, but not too easy either. You didn't get bored and you didn't get stuck in one place for too long, which is just the way it should be (in my opinion). All in all, I really enjoyed this game (and the fact that it's made by Norwegians is also a bonus ;)) So if you, like me, love point and click games and Norse mythology, you should definitely buy The Frostrune.

  As a big fan of point & click adventure games, I've already played some very decent ones the past couple of months and It's safe to say that The Frostrune is competent enough to make my "golden collection" list of the genre. It's one of those games that I know what to expect and have faith that it won't let me down after seeing the screenshots and description (well, it's just a hunch basically). The Frostrune has a beautiful artstyle and it kinda reminds me of Tormentum - Dark Sorrow, which is an amazingly well-crafted game (visually in particular). Apparently, the devs had worked hard to constrcut the environment and build up the atmosphere, laying the foundation for an immersive gaming experience. The majestic soundtrack and voice acting fit in perfectly with the cultural settings of the game as well. As it is pointed out in the description, the story of TF is inspired by Viking myth and is based on historically accurate Norse culture and environments, which reminds me of Year Walk, a similar game based on Swedish mythological lores. However, when it comes to the depth of the story, TF kinda falls short in my opinion. Although it does deliver a Norse epic vibe, I feel that it could have been done better. I'm not saying that the story of the game is dull or lack of effort, what I mean is that I would be happier to see a more dramatic and elaborated one considering that it's completely linear. The puzzles in TF are quite straightforward as they all have their own clues either written or depicted elsewhere, not to mention that there's a hint system in the game at your disposal. I believe you can beat the game without many obstacles by your own wit and be rewarded a specific achievement for your heroic undertaking. Well, I'm not a hero because I usually get lazy and undetermined when there's a walkthrough within reach. To be honest, I was a little hesitant about whether to buy this game or not upon seeing the playtime of a couple of reviewers even it was 10% off at the time. A 2~3 hour experience for almost 10 bucks maybe a little steep if you ask me (considering that Year Walk is about the same length but about half the price), and if you're not a fan of the genre, you'll probably think that it asks for a little too much either. However, after finishing the game, I'm not regret my choice because the effort put in by the devs lives up to the price and I truly had a great time playing it. Overall, The Frostrune is beautiful, intriguing, and enjoyable, highly recommended to those who have an appetite for point & click adventure games.

  I enjoyed this game very much. The scenes were like stepping into paintings. The soundtrack was beautiful as well. I don't have a lot of Norse mythology and cultural knowledge so I found the story fascinating and kept my interest. The challenge level was pretty good. I found myself reaching for my notebook so I could make note of clues rather than backtrack. I do hope this game does well and we get that sequel that was teased at the end. I thought this was a lovely game and well worth my time and the price.

  Beautiful game with great atmosphere. Detailed historical research, artworks, sounds, story, voice actors – everything fits together just fine. Greetings from a fellow indie game dev, had a good time with your piece of art!

  This is an awesome point & click-game prefectly in my taste. About the Viking myth with awesome soundtracks and voices! It's short, but it doesn't matter. When it's done it feels like there's no more to add. Not any "forced" extra hours to the game. Pros: - Soundtrack - Voices - Puzzles are fun - Art and the enviroment Con: - A bit short (but it's still okey) Would absolutly recommend to any point & click-fans or fans to viking myth

  The storm hit your longship close to the island. The winds were too forceful to withstand, even for the battle hardened Vikings. Slowly the ship sinks in the cold, dark sea, taking every soul with it, except yours. You are spared. The only living survivor, stranded on the northern shores of an island, that seems to be abandoned by it's inhabitants. What happened? The Frostrune is a point-and-click adventure with an interesting twist. During the course of the adventure you find a magic staff, allowing you to dive into the world of ghosts. The mixture between the real world and the sphere of ghosts offers an interesting experience. The story of 'The Frostrune' is mediocre. It' OK and the game is enjoyable but the main reason you should play this game is the atmosphere. If you like Nordic mythology, Vikings and ghosts, this game is for you. If you don't, you can skip this one. Personally, I enjoyed this very much. Pros: - beautiful graphics, hand-painted - extremely good voice acting, gives you shivers every time a ghost speaks. The language is old Norse. Sounds wonderful to me. - great sound effects - nice music - very strong atmosphere - mysterious - inspired by Viking myth - magical - all objects recreated from archaeological sources, according to the developers - balanced puzzle difficulty Neutral: - short, finished the game in four hours, but it felt longer Cons: - a few very stupid achievements. I played this game without caring for achievements. After finishing the game I discovered that you get an achievement for a speed run in 30 minutes. This kind of achievement is completely unnecessary, especially for a quiet game like this.
