Jotun is a game that mixes eye-popping environments, superb combat, and moments of tranquil reflection to make a game that’s short, sweet, and memorable.
The Humble Québec Indies Bundle just launched today. It features games like Jotun: Valhalla Edition, Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation, Castle Story, and more.
Jotun: Valhalla Edition is this week’s free game at Epic Games Store. It is free until December 12. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
There are numerous examples of games that are influenced by or allude to great works of literature, but there are few studios quite as devoted to adapting famous tales of old as Thunder Lotus. Both of their titles to date, Jotun and Sundered, are directly inspired by some of their teams’ favorite stories: ancient Norse myths and H.P. Lovecraft’s terrifying fiction. Parallax Media was fortunate enough to get their level designer, Ian Lafontaine, on the line to discuss why they choose to model their game designs on famous works of fiction and how they go about doing so.
