What Jotun: Valhalla Edition is

Jotun: Valhalla Edition is an adventure game developed by Thunder Lotus and released in 2016. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity 5.

The premise, in the publisher's words

After quitting his job in January 2014, Will Dubé and friends brought Jotun to Kickstarter in July of the same year. Raising over $64,000 from 2,299 backers, Jotun was also Greenlit in under a week. The success of the Kickstarter campaign consolidated the team and the vision and allowed us to get additionnal funding from the Canadian Media Fund and the Montreal Inc Foundation. Jotun released on Steam (Windows, Mac and Linux) on September 29th, 2015. Jotun: Valhalla Edition is coming to PS4, XBOX ONE and Wii U this summer. Valhalla Edition contains Valhalla Mode, a boss rush mode with even fiercer versions of the already challenging jotun. Impress the Gods!
