STEP 04: MIDGARDR EVENTS


Events of Fate ✦ 
Your village will face strange and sudden events. A miraculous harvest: gift from the heavens or ancient curse? Knights in the woods: refugees or revenants? A strange egg: good omen or the spark of calamity? 


Midgardr event cards

You choose how to respond to each event by selecting an answer. Each option affects the resources shown beneath the card, but you won’t know whether the impact is positive or negative until you decide. The result will then appear in a text layer above the card.

Each event demands a decision, but you won’t know the outcome until you choose. What seems like a blessing may hide a curse, and what feels like a threat might bring unexpected fortune. The consequences will affect your resources and may even change the state of your village. You cannot escape fate, but you can choose how to face it.

STEP 05: CHOOSE YOR PATH


Quests and Encounters 
Throughout your reign, six mysterious figures will cross your path. Some will ask for favors, others will plant seeds of doubt, a few may try to guide… or manipulate you. It’s up to you to decide whom to trust and whom to reject. But every choice comes at a cost.

MYSTERIOUS CHARACTERS

This is the main storyline of the game, told through a series of letters. Your replies shape your path and determine your destiny—leading you toward one of several possible endings. 

Letters will be sent by a couple of mysterious characters you’ll get to know throughout each chapter. You’ll choose how to reply -one answer aligns with the sender, the other opposes them. Your choices shape the path toward your ending and unlock an achievement displayed in the menu room.


This is Midgardr
