Storyline

Gunnhildr is a narrative shooter set in a Norse-inspired sci-fi world. Defy the gods and give Niflheim new life through fast paced first person combat in an ever-changing world full of powers and stories to uncover. Raw Halite, essential for life on Niflheim, is running out, leading to pollution and a dying world. The leadership bicker amongst themselves in a deadlock of conflicting solutions, until finally, they decide to call on Asgard for aid. Gunnhildr, the the only member of the Warrior class to become an Ancient, is sent to beg before the Gods, but they reject her. Unable to accept refusal, Gunnhildr challenges the Gods themselves in an effort to win their respect. She is defeated.

The Three Primes declare Gunnhildr to be "The Damnation of Niflheim," and sentence her to an eternity in Niflhel. Her escape is where our story begins…
