It's set in ancient times on a Nordic island, and its story is drenched in Norse mythology. As soon as you launch the game, it's clear The Frostrune is a basic production. You'll find an option to change the game's resolution and language, and that's it. The latter option is crucial, though. Since the entire game's narrative is in Old Norse speech, you'll rely on subtitles to understand what's actually being said. Subtitles are available in English, Italian, Castilian Spanish, Arabic, Norwegian, Russian, French and German. The devs state: "We have taken extra care to make The Frostrune as authentic and historically accurate as possible." It's clear that they have. And for the most part, it works very well. Although it's impossible to understand the words being spoken, I think the voice acting was commendable. The narrative even contains a song in Old Norse speech. The game's whole soundtrack oozes Nordic folklore, as well. All of this makes The Frostrune sound authentic to a fault.The Frostrune's graphics are hand-drawn, which definitely adds even more authenticity and personality to this production. But although the graphics look very artistic, I wouldn't personally call them beautiful, although such an opinion is entirely subjective, of course.The story of The Frostrune is pretty thin. I don't mean to sound contradictory: the game does contain a decent amount of lore and folklore, but the actual story of the game, i.e. the story of the young girl you play as and what she ends up doing on the island by solving puzzle after puzzle, is very thin and can easily be summarized in one concise sentence.The main part of The Frostrune's gameplay is solving puzzles while enjoying the authentic folkloristic background. The puzzles aren't easy. Often, you perform an action or you solve a puzzle and you know that means 'something changed somewhere', but it's not always clear what or where. So you'll find yourself walking back and forth on the island a lot, looking for something that's different or for a new area that has become accessible. There is a 'Hint' option in the game, but using it even once forfaits one of the Steam Achievements, so I didn't use that function. I do have to admit I resorted to consulting a guide a few times and almost every time I did, I found the next step wasn't necessarily illogical but pretty darned hard to have to come up with myself.Speaking of Steam Achievements, there are 20 to unlock. Thirteen of those are story-related and unmissable. Six more are awarded for performing some optional tasks, most of which are near impossible to figure out yourself (especially since the names of the achievements are in Old Norse speech and their descriptions are extremely cryptic), so completionists will want to use a guide and check the game's discussion forum. The 20th and final achievement is unlocked by performing a speedrun. You're required to finish the game in 30 minutes or less. That's extremely close! Even when I made a step-by-step guide for myself and knew exactly what to do, only losing a few seconds from time to time while I checked my instructions, I failed on my first try. I immediately tried again, knowing I'd have to check my instructions less that time, and I just barely made it. I like a challenge and I'm fine with speedrun challenges in game genres like platformers, shooters or other action games (e.g. clear a level or mission within a time limit), but I don't think a speedrun achievement has any place in a point-and-click adventure game. The fact that you can't skip any dialogue (and yes, the clock keeps ticking during dialogue) only adds to the frustration of trying to unlock that last, unnecessarily difficult achievement, which is a pain the developers should have left out.The Frostrune does not have any Steam Trading Cards.
