What players say
Every once in while a game comes along that reminds us of something we played before, but still stands on its own as a separate entity. When you enter the world of Nor you are assailed with nostalgic feelings of Magic Carpet, Gothic 2, Myst, Alladin and other Shaherezad tales.

A great Indie title which I have owned for a while now. From a fairly small team comes this title which allows you to terraform, use telekinesis and manipulate your environment to swing things in your favour! Multi-platform, extensive co-op/multiplayer modes as well as co-op story mode with lots of challenging levels and puzzles. Combine magical powers with your friends and make fire tornados! Who wouldn't want to...
The mechanics of this game are pretty fun, but the game is a bit broken and the UI is a bit dated. Once the developers gain more experience it would be cool to see a remake. I also don't remember the story, if I remember right, it kinda went over my head because I wasn't paying attention to it. I still think it's worth playing for the sand manipulation mechanics, but I can't exactly recommend it to most people.
