10 itemsAbout the Game
Survive. Alone or Together
Face the decaying archipelago as a lone researcher or team up with up to 4 players in online cooperative survival. Share the burden of navigation, resource gathering, and tracking your lost crew.
Modular Building
Construct your shelter on solid ground or build a mobile lifeline on the water. Design, customize, and expand modular structures on both land and sea to adapt to a changing world.
Gathering
Survival requires navigating both land and water. Go ashore to chop timber and mine raw minerals from rocky islands, or utilize specialized gear like rope arrows to catch fish, snare floating debris from the deck of your raft, and secure resources from afar.
Research, Progress, and Automate
Move up the technological ladder by analyzing your findings at the research bench.
Unlock advanced technologies, upgrade your equipment, and automate your way forward.
Farm and raise animals
Raise animals and manage crops.
Plant seeds in the ground or in a planter that can be placed anywhere.
Monitor the IC-47 Threshold
Use your scientific equipment to measure and track local contamination levels. Keep an eye on the spread of IC-47 as it slowly petrifies the groundwater, crops, and wildlife around you.
Find Moments of Humanity
You aren't entirely alone, and the world wasn't always this quiet. Locate neutral trading outposts to barter for advanced tech, or uncover the traces left behind by your crew whether it's hearing an old radio frequency or a lone golf tee on an abandoned rig.
The World
NORD is an open-world survival game set in a flooded Swedish archipelago. Alone or with friends, build and engineer your raft to navigate a strange, petrifying ocean. Explore desolate islands and endure the harsh Scandinavian elements as you manage your resources, health and time.
