The Roots of Yggdrasil

You are the Chorus, the eternal audience, narrator, and confidante of countless myths and legends. As such, you are a keeper of the roots of Yggdrasil, where the realms of today draw their energy from the stories of the past. Where a myth should fail, whether forgotten by the masses or twisted out of shape by the turns of time, the Chorus can intercede and set the story right, but only while the myth's corruption is still young...

Now, three roots find themselves in peril, each a myth in danger of being forgotten forever. Delve into the reflecting pools of each root to enter each myth, explore and make choices to guide the myth's characters along the proper path,  and revitalize the World Tree before its too late.

The Roots of Yggdrasil rest in your care now.

This game was created for Global Game Jam 2023 and was further revised before release. We hope you enjoy!
