About Jotunn - Day of Judgement
Start your journey...
Jotunn is a small First-Person-Horror experience. Set in a dark and mysterious norse forest, the player is tasked with activating multiple magic runestones to open the Serpent-Gate and to escape the mystical forest.
- Explore a mysterious dark scandinavian Forest in First-Person both at night and day.
- Hide and flee the Jotunn, a vicious creature, stalking the forest at night. Stay low and evade getting cought while exploring the forest.
- Gather your strength at the small forest hut, the only save place from the Jotunn. Sleep here to change the time of day.
- Search for the ominous Runestones, hidden at different locations across the forest and activate them to gather Odins strength and to find a way to open a gate, leading to safety. But be aware, for the stones can only be activated at night, when the Jotunn haunts the woods.
Words from the developer
Hi everyone! Thanks for your interest in Jotunn - Day of Judgement.
As the developer, I believe that transparency towards the player is the key feature for a good game and a healthy community.
Since I am a solo developer, the content of the game is somewhat limited, the performance not optimal (hence the crazy system requirements) and the balancing still not perfect. Still, I did not want to mark this title as Early Access, since I found this misleading since I'm not really planning for too many Updates.
Apart from that, I would appreciate every piece of feedback. Share your ideas for improvement, better balancing or anything that comes to mind.
As a single person, my capacitites in the fields of balancing and performance testing on multiple devices are somewhat limited. Therefore I am happy about every piece of information I can get.
Since Jotunn is very short and not perfect, everyone should have the opportunity to play this game for free (should be obvious)
I am looking forward to making more, longer and better games in the future and I am exciting for the upcoming journey!

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's beautiful graphics, atmospheric soundtrack, and Norse mythology references, along with its peaceful yet tense exploration gameplay that offers an optional scary mode. The main criticisms focus on poor optimization and GPU performance issues, lack of sensitivity settings, invisible map boundaries, and the overall brevity of the experience with a non-threatening monster presence.
No option for video and mouse sensitivity. Bad optimization and the game tries to max out all your GPU's power consumption and capping FPS doesn't really help much.7 found this helpful
Peaceful (even despite the monster) little game.1 found this helpful
chill thriller game with an option to opt out on scary1 found this helpful
It was really short and the monster didnt really feel all that threatening. I liked it enough though. 7/10
Excellent game!! There is not much story if that's what you're looking for, but it was fun to wander around and escape the notice of the Jotunn, who was thankfully visible from a distance! Beautiful graphics and soundtrack, I was so pleased to see references to Norse folklore everywhere. My only note would be that the borders of the game are an invisible wall and therefore impossible to see until you're suddenly against it with the Jotunn right on your back.
Overall okay game, little bit short in my opinion, but nevertheless i was quite fine with the ending... Bad optimization is a must fix, and maybe adding a bit more stuff, or atleast adding another one or two levels to the game before you finish it. Besides all those things, i think it has the potential to grow into something quite unque...
