A figure approaches, weaving through the bodies of giants, steps slow and methodical—a traveler who has come far and with purpose, as relentless as the sea in his pursuit. “Chieftain’s son,” the stranger says, a Vestmann by his accent, but he says it in smoke-rough Norse. “I’ve been watching you.” In the dreaming between worlds, an old fool delivers a message.

Hi all! I'm very excited about this chapter and happy that it will be the first one released in this new year! I'm having A Day during A Week, so here, have this chapter a week earlier than I'd planned. 😂

Thanks as always to the beta team: @stitchingatthecircuitboard @ichabodjane @zingsthings @eisoj5 and @laurenplayspeople <3

“Is she lost? It wouldn’t be the first time. Last winter, before the tragedy, she journeyed into the wilds of her native land, living off berries, roots and rabbits. It’s not uncommon you see. We call such a person a Geilt. Some, like Druth, become Geilt in search of penance. Others, like Senua, to purge a curse. Those who make it back, are forever changed.”

Little tribute to the two best games I played in 2019.
