“For winning to mean anything, losing must mean everything.”
We’re here to fix the state of play in the gaming industry.
We’re here to give players a world of their own, where they can feel the rush of real risk once again. Where they can earn according to their skills—and their skills alone. We’re here to create a world where every choice matters and every move may be your last. Where mortality is core to your experience. And where your success leaves a mark in a truly meaningful way.
We’re here to bring back everything that made games fun in the first place. To do away with pay-to-win, play-to-earn, and all the other ways the gaming industry has stripped the fun from play. We’re not here to cynically recreate all their worst inventions with shiny new technology; we’re here to create the world in which we ourselves want to play.
Welcome to NOR
ASPECT
OF THE NINE
Every Khoric citizen is a descendant of The Nine—the original immortals whose essence echoes through the history of Khora. And every citizen contains a small part of these progenitors’ souls.
To become a player in the upper echelons of Khoric society, new immortals must be able to prove their provenance. This proof is found in what is known as an Aspect of The Nine.
DEATH MUST MATTER
We intend to make death—and winning—matter again.
Not only because this approach makes games fun, but because we believe our model can help games realize their full economic potential.
I.
We intend to break the cycle of player attrition and exploitation. Our platform and games are designed to be pure sports, complete with fair play and the thrill of risk.
II.
Our games are built according to time tested principles of game design, including that most important principle: the game must be easy to learn and hard to master.
III.
We build games for gamers because we are gamers, and we know what gamers want.
