So a horror game with Norse mythology? Nice
Not many of those around, the only other one I can think of is Year Walk and that game's more of an adventure/horror game than pure horror. Actually, there aren't that many genuinely good games based off Norse mythology and folklore around. Wonder why? Would like to see something that isn't an indie title with very tangential connections to the source material.

I feel like there's a lot of potential for interesting concepts in both movies and games to revolve around Egyptian and Norse mythology, for example (and not an abortion like that movie Gods of Egypt).

[QUOTE=FezianEmperor;50745332]Well there's God of War 4 which is set in Norse Mythology.[/QUOTE] True, Norse is certainly runner up and will no doubt gain more popularity in the future.

At the same time though, I'd love to see first/third-person games embrace mythology, whether it be a shooter, adventure, horror, or a combination. I feel like there's so much story and conceptual potential with mythology that goes virtually untapped in media.
