About the Game

Your choices matter

Brageskålen is a Norwegian visual novel where the player's choices drive the story. You play as a young skald on Veøya in the year 986. An important part of the game is performing kvad, a nordic form of poetry which will influence how people view you, from romantic poems to heroic tales. The game's backdrop and story are based on historical sources.

A big battle is brewing, and Veøya's warriors are sending ships to fight the Jomsvikings. A mystical curse flips everything on its head as the able-bodied men of Veøya all get sick. You and your friends are the only ones who can figure out who is behind the curse. Can you solve the mystery?
