Blot: A Choose Your Own Adventure
Blót is a Choose Your Own Adventure based on Norse mythology. It is a coming of age retelling of old tales as well as an exploration of responsibility and decision-making. The main character, a young Norwegian girl named Sílje, is visited by the essence of an ancient giant named Ymir. The giant tells her that it was destroyed by the gods at the dawn of creation and became the earth itself. It has since then been uprooted by unknown forces, its spirit wandering free searching for a vessel to return to the earth. It is now Sílje’s job to take Ymir to its sacred obelisk to complete the task.
