Valkyrie

Picture
This is the current prototype, but there will definitely be changes made during the development process.

Still though, I dig the theme. Valkyrie could choose the Vikings who fought in battle, they could choose who were slain, and they made tapestries out of the bodies of the dead. And that, in this game, is what you do.

I'm very excited about this.
