About This Game

Live through the last winter on the Europe.

Shore of Jord is a story-driven open world cRPG set in an alternative world where sagas and Norse paganism blend with the realism of Scandinavian noir. Players navigate a post-apocalyptic landscape influenced by Scandinavian and Eastern European cultures, 1451 years after the Ragnarok.

You are Orm Junger, a retired military officer haunted by your alter-ego, Shadow. Together, you’ll unravel webs of political upheaval, dark crimes, and veiled conspiracies as you strive to piece yourself back together after a mysterious night call.

FEATURES of the Shore.

Comprehensive Character System: The game features an intricate character system with 22 distinct traits, each possessing its own nuances, contradictions, and complexities. These traits play a central role in shaping the player's journey and interactions within the game world.

Immersive and Distinctive Setting: Set in a meticulously crafted world, the game offers a unique blend of historical realism, mythical elements, and fantastical storytelling. Players will explore a richly detailed environment filled with lore, secrets, and unexpected discoveries.

Narrative-Driven Role-Playing: Experience a story-rich adventure that harkens back to the golden age of CRPGs. With a focus on deep storytelling, branching paths, and meaningful choices, players will navigate a richly layered narrative that unfolds based on their decisions and actions.

Dynamic Time Management: The game features a dynamic time management system that adds depth and consequence to player choices. As time progresses, events unfold, and the world evolves, creating a sense of urgency and agency. The world continues to live and breathe, adapting to the player’s decisions while maintaining its own independent rhythm.

Why Shore?

Choices matter: more than ever. You can get so screwed over that you'll never reach the ending you hoped for. You can ignore the "main quest" entirely and still reach real endings (not just Easter eggs), lose all your companions, or even find yourself unable to finish the game at all. The Shore of Jord is not just about successful or failed checks; it’s a game of social interactions that sometimes can’t be fixed.

The world is hard to figure out—blending the in-game Europa with real historical figures, events, technology, and everything else, shaken and rearranged to the point where players question what's really happening.

Here’s how it’s done on the Shore: you can strengthen friendships or break them, find your love, become an Ugly Bones world champion, expose or join the Organization, uncover the dark secret of your past, and understand why Shadow calls you a flesheater. The world is your oyster.
