As much a work of love as it is one of complete insanity. The most incredible thing about these games is that they exist. If I told you about it, you wouldn't believe it. If I showed it to you, you still wouldn't believe it. If I explained it to you, you'd think I was crazy.

And then you play through it.

Norse epics, mid-seventies pseudohistory and four thousand year old Sumerian myths reimagined as increasingly elaborate puzzles. Deadly traps and mysterious riddles that aren't pulling your leg or punishing you arbitrarily, you just didn't pay enough attention, because you have grown used to not having to pay attention, it's just a video game, right? But it's not just a video game. It is a trial. A test of your worth. The penitent man will pass. The penitent man will pass. The penitent man will pass.

It exists. Somehow, it exists. These are the greatest games ever made. There is nothing else like it.
