Jotun is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Norse warrior who has died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death that denied her a place in Valhalla, awakens in the Norse void of Ginnungagap. To prove her worth to the gods and earn her way into the afterlife of heroes, she is charged with journeying across the realms to challenge and defeat the Jotun, colossal elemental giants of nature and chaos. As she battles these towering foes and explores the beautiful, hand-drawn worlds between them, Thora reflects on the life and death that brought her to this final trial.
