A fate Norse than death



<span class="bold">Jotun</span>, the emotional action/adventure of a dishonored Viking warrior charging towards the venerable halls of Valhalla, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with a 10% launch discount.

Thora has suffered the worst fate imaginable for a proud warrior of her tribe: an inglorious death. But to a true Viking, dying doesn't mean their fighting days are over. The only thing that changes are the battlefields in which they seek glory eternal. And Thora is determined to claim it, even if she'll have to fight giant elemental spirits in order to impress her demanding gods.

Drowning at sea instead of falling in battle left her disgraced but the solemn-faced shield maiden has been granted a second chance. The towering Jotun are the only things standing in her way towards the golden halls of Valhalla but they are formidable foes indeed. Thora will need to channel every last inch of her combat prowess, exercise great cunning when taking advantage of her surroundings, and use expert timing in summoning the amazing powers the gods have blessed her with. The lavishly drawn visuals and the appropriately steely narration will bring Thora's tragic backstory to life in this challenging journey that will see her skills and determination tested against impossible odds.



Impress the gods by bringing the mighty <span class="bold">Jotun</span> to their knees, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 10% launch discount will last until April 13, 1:59 PM UTC.


In the press :
"Jotun is a wondrous trek through Norse mythology" - IGN
"It's a wonderfully wild, vibrant bedtime story told with fire and verve" - Gamespot
"It's a magical ride that I'm sure I'll revisit from time to time in the future." - Destructoid
Wait, wasn't this game included in the Insomnia Sale? How is that it is realased only today?
Lol, screw that 10% discount.

I didn't see it in the sale. Of course, I sleep every once in a while so it may very well have been visible one of those times.

The funny thing is that everybody was already able to buy it since the Insomnia sale. You just had to use the right URL for the gamecard. Same goes for Subterrain and J.U.L.I.A..

But nice to see that they are officially realeased now.
Seems like Jotun is the only game of the new three (Julia and Subterran) that doesn´t have the Insomnia sale discount.
No it wasn't available during the Insomnia; you all had hallucinations due to sleep deprivation. :P

J.U.L.I.A. was 60% off during the Insomnia sale IIRC, so it doesn't have the same discount either. Jotun's discount was something like 30-33% off, so the difference is bigger for that one.

EDIT
Here's the Insomnia log: http://birdiesoft.dk/insomniaspring2016.php
I remembered it right about J.U.L.I.A., as it was indeed 60% off, but I fell short for Jotun (it was actually 40% off).
Subterrain is the only one that keeps the Insomnia discount (33% off).

Since the version number for the game seems to be the same as during the Insomnia sale, does that mean it does not include the patch that was released on Steam on the 23rd March, which was during the Insomnia sale.

Other than that the game seems lovely. I have only played a little of it so far, but I really enjoy the art style and the setting. It is not the most complex of games, but still quite enjoyable so far.

Most important change seems to be that movement is faster outside of boss battles.

Oh I know, it was not a major patch (although it did address a bug that could crash the game), I was just wondering if it was part of the release or not. I don't mind if it is just the usual case of delayed patches on GOG, just as long as it is not another game where the developer seemingly just releases the game and then neglects it here.
The game looks awesome, and I love that the narration is in Icelandic, which is the closest you'll get to old Norse in a modern language.

I'll have to wait for a steeper discount though.
