How to play

Drag your finger (or the mouse, or use the up and down arrows) to move the thread tip. Keep it inside the golden band to fill the thread bar; outside it, tension drops and the thread snaps.

The story behind it

In the Norse sources, the Norns shape fate by the well of Urðr. The thread and the band in the game are made up. Read the story in The Norns: the three women who tend the world tree and everyone’s fate.
