Northern Journey

A strange first-person adventure through folk-beasts, twisted witches, and many dangerous fjord paths. Very memorable for the way it delivers unexpected challenges and goofy horrors. Has the look and feel of King's Field on PS1 combined with a fascination with Nordic folklore. For those who want their games to be weird, unexpected, and to earn their way across chasms of phantasmagoric creepers.

Magnificent enviroments, huge map, rpg feature, combat is fun, Explorig is fun. Many secrets. Great story. PSX graphics are also very well awakening nostalgia. Not finished yet but for me its gem already.

A bit of a janky experience, but one which gets so much so right in terms of music, art direction, mystery, and simple entertainment value that I couldn't help but love my time in this world. An easy, easy recommend for me.

Most atmospheric and deeply impressionable game i ever played. even tho I haven't played for a while because my life has gotten busy. I still think about this game because it was so unique.. really incredible. Feels like a core memory but it happened when i was 20...SUPPORT THIS GUY!!

This is arguably the best adventure/story type game Ive ever played. The area building is unique and genuenly jaw-dropping, and the fact the developer used (as far as I know) pictures he himself took to create the textures is insane. I dont think ill ever experience the same feeling from a game ever again. Its a masterpiece.

Probably one of the coolest indie games I've ever played. My appreciation for the game was heightened by learning how the developer made this game (look into it!). Combat is difficult but that's probably because it's unique (throwing weapons). Really atmospheric. Incredible soundtrack. IT NEEDS A VR UPGRADE. Holy cow this would be unbelievably amazing in VR.

This game cured my fear of spiders & insects in general by sheer exposure therapy 10/10 would cure again

it really is a journey in the north. game was fantastic except for the last two levels

An extremely atmospheric jaunt through a norwegian folk-inspired adventure!

Falls off around 75% through the game and the boss fights aren't that good, but other than that I highly recommend. The aiming mechanic is cool and really helps set the game apart from other shooters. The atmosphere and tone of the game is really unique and is elevated fantastically by the music. Level design features a lot of verticality and sets a nice sense of scale. Using the pulley to rappel across levels and taking in the vistas, realising how far you've traversed and how much you've experienced, it's jaw dropping at points especially considering the low-fi graphics. It's simply incredible for a solo-dev project. I cannot begin to imagine the time and effort that was sunk into the development of this game, and I'm very happy to say it paid off.
