The name is a serious dose of pretentious cringe that only a Scandinavian-inclined mind could come up with.

I really like the distortion wave. Great smoke animation as well!

There's actually a dystopian novel where the Nordic Gods rule a society in decline. It was a long time since I read it but I wonder if this game, that combines post-apoc with Nordic mythology, is inspired by it?
