    Kari is a game created as a student project at Breda University of Applied Sciences over the course of one year, from September 2019 to June 2020. It is a non-combat Indie adventure inspired by Nordic-Viking mythology. You play as a young Viking girl named Kari. She is stuck on the shores of Vanaheim. Will find his way back home?

    In the Short Introductory Video, we learn that a young girl gets stuck in a magic storm and drowns. Thanks to force majeure, he wakes up on the coast of an unknown island that does not belong to our world. After waking up, the first person she meets is Havran Muninn and she is given an explanation of where she is and that she must ask the shrine of the god Njorn to remain on the island. These shrines you visit very often give you the energy you need to survive on the island in addition to functioning as a place to save the progress of the game. However, if your energy runs out, you will die.

    Muninn will show you the basics of a game that suits you how to craft or survive and will send you to find a nearby village in which we meet the son of God Bjorn Fisher Ove Hjalmar and other characters who give you various tasks of picking cones, making a beam or planting a seed. By collecting various things after Vanaheim for crafting, you create various bridges and items needed for the further progress of the game.

    When we finally meet the god Njorn himself, he will offer you help if you help him as well. Will it finally help our heroine get home? We will only find out if we finish the game.

    Although the world of Vanaheim is large and contains many graphically nicely crafted locations, each has its own musical subtext. Unfortunately, the game suffers from too little content and repetitiveness, but I have to keep in mind that it is still a school project and it worked for me.

    What to write more? Perhaps it's just that the game is completely free and if you like Norse mythology, I can recommend it to you.
