Description
"The Frostrune is everything a classic point-and-click puzzler should be, and there's really not much else to be said. It's an utter joy to play through, and a genuine must-have for lovers of the genre."
- 9/10, Pocket Gamer
Unravel a mystery inspired by Viking myth and legend in The Frostrune, a classic point-and-click adventure based on ancient Norse culture and environments.
Find yourself shipwrecked on an island after a summer storm. Nearby, a recently abandoned settlement shows signs that its inhabitants left in a panic. Surrounding the village is a dark, dense forest filled with ancient rune stones and burial mounds. Among them are hidden relics and other well-kept secrets that will bring you closer to solving the mysteries of the island.
" The Frostrune speaks for itself and stands out amongst its competitors as a crowning achievement in the point & click genre. For those who enjoy playing Point-and-Clicks or those interested in Vikings or Norse lore, this is an experience well worth getting." - Matthew White, Opnoobs. 9/10

Ratings and Reviews
Missed Opportunity
Interesting setting with haunting music (particularly the singing) and sound effects, but the puzzles are very basic and require no real brain power or thought, just a lot of running around finding clues/instructions. The trailer compares this to "The Room", but it doesn't come close.
Misses the mark
Despite some nice touches (the voiceovers, graphics, setting) this is not great. Easy basic puzzles (obtain object, revisit all scenes and use object everywhere, turn on your seer vision and repeat) and very short. More like one of those hidden objects adventures than a point-n-click, and nowhere near The Room. Not worth the high price.
Yawn
Tedious. Pointless. Bewildering. I deleted it.
