Our take on Fimbul
The timeline tree is a notable part of the pitch, but the description gives no detail on how many decision points or alternate routes it contains. The emphasis is on revisiting choices, while the amount of story variation remains unclear.
What is Fimbul?
Fimbul is a single-player action adventure set during the final winter before Ragnarök.
It follows an aging berserker travelling to Jötunheim to pursue an ancient artifact that may save Midgard. Combat uses weapons against Vikings, trolls, and Jotuns, and fellow Vikings can be gathered to assist against larger foes. The story is presented through in-game comics, with a timeline tree that lets players revisit decision points and take a different route through the narrative. Items from the distant past are used in battles with the giant Jotuns. The game combines Norse-mythology themes, combat, and branching story choices in a frozen setting.
