About Saga of the North Wind
The gods have chosen you to lead your tribe on a deadly pilgrimage to the Valley of the North Wind! When future generations recite your saga, will they sing of your glory or your downfall?
Saga of the North Wind is a 300,000-word interactive fantasy novel by Tom Knights, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Your people roam the Great Steppe, chased and challenged by the fearsome Tribe of the Black Wolf. Their leader, the shaman Zhan-Ukhel, calls forth savage magic from Chernobog, the god who rules their tribe. Your tribe must have a leader who can call down protection from the gods. That leader is you, and this is your saga.
Rule your tribe as an iron-fisted chieftain or as a benevolent guardian. Will your allies support you on the field of battle? Will the gods come when you need them most? Do you even need the gods to smite your enemies, or will you seize divine power for yourself?
An eerie glow dances across the stars tonight, stars that bear your name. Listen, now, to the Saga of the North Wind!

This little story is guud. Simple and wrap everything.
After a fairly promising beginning, the 2nd encounter you have, despite having any number of possible paths to choose from, inevitably and invariably (I tried *every* permutation of choices) results in your being captured by enemies.Once I was sure that was the case, I closed the game, never to restart it. A healthy "♥♥♥♥ you" to the author for that. If you want to start things off with the main character getting captured, don't give us a bunch of different options and the illusion that we might be able to get away if we make the right decisions. Have the decency to just tell us "I have contempt for you, and am placing you in an unwinnable situation right now because I want to start this story off by having the bad guy swagger around and gloat, so as to motivate you or whatever, because I don't give enough of a ♥♥♥♥ to just write a better start to the story."If you really were so desperate to start us off being captured, then that's Page One, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Don't be seduced by the Viking theme. A terrible mish mash of events ripped from various fantasy franchises, cobbled together in a pathetic attempt to trick to the player into thinking that this uninventive and uninspired game is an original work. An extremely lacklustre, tedious and disappointing story. I definitely don't recommend this game.

The story reminded me of Conan by Robert E. Howard, a bit. It's not a bad story at all and there are many decisions to take that can branch you out into many paths. So, there is some replay value. I found some parts of the story kind of dull especially the parts with the gods. But the journey was a good read. I would play one of these games again if it's well written. If you're considering trying one of these games out than do so. Try this one out.
This is one of the best games I've played! I love how the story plays out and the choices you have in the game. If anyone likes text-based games where your decisions matter, I'd strongly suggest getting this game.
