About This Game

Harness the elements. Forge them into everything.

Noro is a side-scrolling sandbox adventure where you discover spells and use them as tools for battle, exploration, and building. Mix elements, bind magic into your gear and structures, and dig your way through a world you can change.

You're a student of a magic academy that now lies in ruins. Your teachers are scattered, the constellations have vanished, and the great dragons have been corrupted. Head out, reclaim the lost magic, and rebuild your home.

Shape the Elements

Combine elements to create new spells. Mix Fire with Air to turn a flame into a fireball. Play with the balance between elements to find unexpected effects. Unlock new elements, learn from the academy's teachers, and track down hidden spellbooks.

Cast It. Wear It. Build With It.

Focus on spellcasting, spell-enhanced melee combat, or a mix of both. Store a spell in a gem and bind it to your gear or into buildings. Cast Gust to knock enemies back. Imbue it into your boots for an extra jump, or into a block to create an updraft anyone can ride. Turn your discoveries into enchanted equipment, traps, and new routes through the world.

Carve Your Own Path

Ride the winds to the floating islands. Explore an underwater palace. Dig beneath a cathedral built into a volcano. Pick which regions to take on first, fight the corrupted dragons, and restore the constellations one by one. Gather materials and craft gear as you go, and if something's in your way, tunnel through it, redirect the water, or build your own route.

Raise an Academy From the Ruins

Rescue your teachers, restore their classrooms, and learn new ways to use magic. Recover scattered furnishings and rebuild the academy in your own style.

Make Magic Together

Play solo, in two-player local split-screen, or online with friends. Build together, share what you discover, and take on the world as a team.

Built for Modders

Add your own spells, elements, equipment, enemies, biomes, and quests using the same content systems Noro is built on. Make a small tweak or overhaul the whole game. Mod tools and documentation are planned to be released at launch.
