Son of Nor – Stillalive Studios – Innsbruck, Austria



Son of Nor is an amazing physics based third person actions game. The Sarahul Empire seeks to vanquish the flame of human existence. As a Son of Nor (one blessed by Nor, the Night Goddess) you are tasked with the protection of The Edge, the last human civilization. Using both telekinesis and a type of terraforming that allows control of the sands of Noshrac as your weapons, you’ll wage war against the Empire. Stillalive has a great amount of screen shots and video showing the game in action (should inspire confidence). If all works out, Son of Nor may be one of the best examples of “force powers” in gaming.
