Greetings Internet!

Today we’ve reached a major milestone as we launch the first chapter of The Journey Down on Steam! We celebrate this by selling it at 20% off during the first week of sales. The game will later return to its normal price of $6.99 / € 5.99. PC and Mac versions are available now and Linux is in beta.

If you’ve already got a copy of the game for PC, Mac or Linux, you can send us an email with your receipt and we’ll do our very best to get you a Steam key as soon as possible. If you got the game from IndieRoyale or IndieGameStand we will send your key automagically, just be patient

If, for some otherworldly reason, we’ve failed to hammer this into your head already, The Journey Down: Chapter One is also available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.

We have decided to give Nord a day off to join the protests against the proposed SOPA/PIPA legislation.

SOPA was drafted to provide legal means to restrict access to certain web sites in order to prevent online piracy. However, the bill could also be used to arbitrarily shut down web sites and social media networks considered to be hosting, or linking to, undesired content.

Nord will be online again at 5am Nord Time (8am PST). In the meantime we suggest you all enjoy some quality IRL time with your loved ones.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Today we are happy to congratulate Binaspets and Zardoz555 who have entered into holy online matrimony in Nord. The ceremony was held yesterday in Toppie1′s garden where the lovely couple was greeted by a select gathering of 15 guests, all dressed up in their fancymost avatar outfits, bringing virtual wedding cakes, treasure chests, flowers and other in-game gifts for the newlyweds.

Binaspets and Zardoz555 is a real-life couple who first met in Nord where they fell in love. We wish the bride and groom a most prosperous and loving future together, until server downtime do you part.
