The Watchlist: Son of Nor

Title: Son of Nor
Developer: Still Alive Studios
Platforms: PC, Mac, Linux
Releasing mid-2014
---
Enter the desert world of Noshrac. A harsh desert world where humankind is at the brink of extinction. You are a Son of Nor, a human mage with telekinetic powers and the ability to control natural elements. A mage trained to defend what is left of your race after the Great War with the Sarahul Empire. Solve puzzles, venture through long forgotten temples, terraform the desert and fight in challenging battles alongside your friends in this single player and co-op fantasy action adventure.
Successfully Greenlit and Kickstarted mid-2013, Son of Nor has been in steady development for almost a year now. Set in the desert fantasy world of Noshrac, you control the powerful Son in his quest to save humanity from a dangerous new threat. Blessed by the goddess Nor, you can wield the environment as a weapon; with these powers, the world becomes your tool, allowing you to swallow enemies with the ground itself, create cover and tactical positions from the sands, move boulders and objects with your mind, lay waste to your foes with fire and wind, and combine these elements to craft new spells such as a devastating flaming tornado. These abilities are not only useful in combat, but also in traversing the environments, solving puzzles, and evading traps. You even play cooperatively with four other players, assisting each other and combining magic.
Son of Nor will release in mid-2014, with support for Oculus Rift and Emotiv EPOC (translates EEG activity to in-game actions). You can learn more about Son of Nor, as well as preorder the game, here.
