Out on a sailing voyage to prove herself, Kari gets caught in a magical storm that casts her far off-course into a world that's not entirely hers. Stranded on unknown shores, Kari must find the inhabitants of this world she doesn't belong in and convince them to help her get back to her own world and home.

Enter an untamed world of otherworldly hazards and challenges, filled by figures from the Norse Mythology and the souls of those who have found their way to Vanaheim before you. Overcome the challenges the Gods present to you in order to acquire the items you need to repair your boat and complete quests for the souls that reside in Vanaheim.

There are a lot of positives and some negatives in this game but for me the positives outweigh the negatives. I completely agree on detailed explanations on negative reviews so I recommend checking them out as I have nothing else to add. Other than that I think since it is free this was worth playing. Good luck in your careers Breda folks, well done! Especially the art I just loved it.

I appreciate the effort put into this.. The art is great! As a student project, A+ for effort, A+ for art design. F for fun factor . (also lack of key rebinding) ALL projects would fail immediately if i was grading, and they didn't have key rebinding :P "game play' didn't have anything that engaged me. (granted i didn't get far into it... but that's kind of the problem.) the crafting mechanic was kind of clunky & uninteresting / fun. (seemed to just need to have the items in inventory VS having to find a recipe or trial/error or put the items into slots to create..) generally I''m okay with a lesser crafting.. if there's other game play I'm more interested in.. interacting with NPC was uninteresting / fun (not sure if they didn't have time.. but the intro art used as NPC cut scenes would have at least enhanced the interaction) I don't think there's combat (?) so... As a student project.. depending on what they were trying to do it it not sure if ti succeeded or failed.

Игра "Kari" – это приятная головоломка с расслабляющей атмосферой и простым, но затягивающим геймплеем. Игрокам предстоит управлять девушкой по имени Кари, скользящей по ледяным плитам, чтобы собрать все кристалы на уровне. Управление максимально лаконично, но требует внимательного планирования каждого шага, ведь остановить Кари можно только о стену. Визуальный стиль игры выполнен в минималистичной манере, с мягкими пастельными тонами и спокойной музыкой, что создает ощущение умиротворения. Уровни становятся всё сложнее по мере продвижения, требуя большей внимательности и стратегического мышления. Иногда приходится действительно поломать голову, чтобы найти оптимальный путь. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра предлагает достаточный вызов для любителей головоломок. Количество уровней вполне достаточно чтобы развлечь на несколько часов, а механика, хоть и не нова, реализована на должном уровне. "Kari" отлично подойдет для тех, кто ищет короткий, но увлекательный способ расслабиться и потренировать свой мозг. Рекомендую!

The graphics are cute, music is good. Gathering materials for crafting is fun. Died a lot during gathering. I am an explorer I absolutely dislike the idea of running back and forth to save points to regain my pathetic one minute health.
