Mentioned in ~1 in 2 positive reviews

The verdict
A free, lovingly made Norse-themed homage to Sierra's Quest for Glory, mixing point-and-click puzzles with RPG classes. Skip it if you dislike old-school opacity, survival pressure and clunky controls.
Great for
Quest for Glory and Sierra fans who enjoy puzzles, humor, Norse myth and replaying with different classes
Main risk
Old-school design: cryptic puzzles, harsh cold/hunger early on and clunky controls can make you quit.

Cold, hunger and starvation mechanics
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“it's marred by an obnoxious stamina/cold/food system. It becomes less of an issue later but in early game it's just annoying and stifles exploration.”
