Ragnarok Remastered! A game I made with a friend in a week, which even made it into the Indie Game Jam Indiepocalypse (issue 11)!!! It's got some really fun dialogue (written mostly by my partner HAQ, who also did all the coding) and is chock full of fun Norse Mythology facts (even some of the lesser known stuff! Unfortunately, no, we couldn't fit Audumbla in, sorry all you celestial bovine stans. I have some previews here, but if any of this peaks even just the slightest bit of interest, please check it out (it's only a buck)!
So, you may have noticed the phrase 'Hating Sim.' What the hell does that mean? Well, it's your average dating sim where you seduce a number of wacky characters, except... The goal isn't bed them, but to slay them instead!
You play as the lovable himbo Thor, hero of Asgard, wielder of Comically Undersized Hammers!
One day, though, your papa Odin comes in to warn you... Of the Apocalypse!
See, your no-good brother Loki has just had Baldr (the most beloved of all the gods) killed, and thus started Ragnarok, the downfall of all. So it's up to you to stop it!
But wait! While brute force may have worked for you before, things are different now. You'll need to be clever about this. Maybe use some charm, some of your masculine wiles... And that's' where these 3 come in. Vedrfolnir, Ratatoskr, and Nidhogg! They act as your dating advisors, helping you get ready to seduce and subsequently maim the instigators of the endtimes, a wacky cast of characters including...
Hel, queen of the underworld! She's not super aware of what's going on, and is really just here cuz her dad wants her to be there...
Fenris, the hellhound! Now, how could such a good boy ever do anything horrible? Yeah, I'm sure he's completely harmless...
Jormungandr, the world serpent! Kind of an old fogey, and a bit loquacious, but whatever. Doesn't seem like he can do much harm with his tail in his mouth like that...
And finally, the duo of Loki and Surtr! Your (really just wretched) sibling has managed to convince this fire giant to end the world, so you'll have to lead him away from Loki's influence in the sexiest seduction of all... A debate! I know, hot, right?
Now, if you play your cards right, you can take these clowns down one by one!
If not, though...
Let's just say...
It won't go well for you.
So again, if any of this seems cool to you, check the game out! It would mean the world to the 2 of us who worked really hard on it! In fact, this was the first time I'd ever shared any of my artwork, so if it weren't for this game, this website probably wouldn't even exist!
