How it feels

You wield telekinesis and terraforming abilities against ancient enemies in a vast desert world, with physics-driven combat and environmental destruction.

What players say

Players describe Son of Nor as a promising but broken game. The sand manipulation mechanics are genuinely fun and interesting, but nearly everything around them falls apart: performance is terrible, controls lock up, and the game feels unfinished. Development was abandoned early, leaving a shallow, ugly experience that even fans call a student project.
