Eight souls land on a strange shore. None of them will be the same when spring comes — if it comes.

NORTHBOUND is a Viking settlement saga. Build a village. Name your kin. Send out scouts. Found new halls across the strait. Weather raids. Write a chronicle that lasts.

Features

  1. 160×160 procedural world with three map types: Viking Origin, Pangea, Archipelago
  2. Multi-village economy — each outpost has its own working population, stockpile, and workplaces
  3. Drakkar warships — combat-rated longships that can intercept raiders before they touch shore
  4. Real seasons, real winters — kin freeze, animals migrate, the long night comes
  5. The Winter Solstice scene — every year, on midwinter, the world holds its breath
  6. A growing saga — every important moment is chronicled in your settlement's permanent record
  7. Founders remembered — the eight kin who first walked your shore are named in the saga across decades
  8. Lives that matter — when a notable kin dies, the world pauses to honor them

A game of slow Viking time

This is not a fast game. It is a game about kin you remember, winters you survive, and a saga you keep. Play one in-game year, or twenty.
