We want people to like her for her fighting skills and her courage, not for a big cleavage or “boob plate” armor. We are trying to make the game loyal to Viking culture, so we never considered making Thora a character with sex-appeal. Viking women were also fighters and we really wanted to incorporate this in our game. For Jotun, we took the liberty of adding another layer to the Norse afterlife: Purgatory, a place where a select few have a second chance to reach Valhalla by overcoming impossible trials. Cowardice is one of the biggest sins in Viking culture and cowards go straight to Hel (you guessed right, it is their version of Hell). You only go there if you accomplished valorous deeds in life. This means that you don’t reach Valhalla, their version of Heaven, by being a good person. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Viking warrior who has died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. You may have heard of our game, since we have been featured in some of the biggest gaming outlets in the world. In the summer of 2014, Jotun raised over $64,000 on Kickstarter and was Greenlit in under a week, drawing attention from several important game outlets. Jotun is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. We are Thunder Lotus, a start-up indie studio from Montréal, Canada and our very first project is called Jotun.
