The Sun of Helheim

Description

After Ragnarök, fallen warriors and gods found themselves imprisoned in the depths of Helheim, where the land was flooded with serpent venom and its inhabitants were forced to spend eternity on islands isolated from one another. No one dared venture beyond their shores.

Until a handful of brave souls reinvented a long-forgotten technology once used by the mortals of Midgard: the sun compass.

Now, you and your longship crew are ready to brave the deadly seas of Helheim and seize your chance to return to the world of the living.

How to play

Map

Your destination is marked on the map. Your current position is not shown — use landmarks on the islands to figure out where you are.

You can plan your route or track your journey by placing markers.

Markers also help you estimate how far you can sail in a given amount of time.

Sun Compass

Turn around to align the tip of the shadow with the curved line. Once they match, the compass points north.

The sun and moon symbols on the compass indicate the time of day.

Use different curves to find north during the day and at night.

Heading

Press [A] and [D] to turn the ship.

Check your compass to determine your heading.

Sail!
Choose how long you want to sail in the selected direction.

You can check the relationship between sailing time and distance on the map.
