This trailer from Son of Nor offers a controls and game mechanics walkthrough showing off magic and telekinesis in this upcoming single-player/co-op action/adventure game to help generate interest in the Kickstarter stillalive studios is conducting to support the project. "The power of terraforming is a real driving force within our game development, allowing us to open up the environment to the players to control and manipulate to help solve puzzles and fight enemies." Said Julian Mautner, founder of stillalive studios. "The magic elements have also allowed us to make the game play incredibly open and personal. Players can combine elements such as telekinesis and magic, either in single player mode or when playing co-op to win otherwise unwinnable battles and open otherwise off limits areas." The funding effort is currently a bit over 25% complete with over three weeks remaining to raise the $150K needed to complete the game. Here's an overview:

Son of Nor is a 3rd person action adventure game set in a desert world where human kind is on the brink of extinction at the hands of the Sarahul; an evil race of reptilian creatures bent on the destruction of human civilisation. Players become humanity´s last hope for survival in an epic struggle to hold back the Sarahul hordes and change the destiny of the entire planet.

In Son of Nor, players command unique force abilities with which they must fight, solve puzzles and ultimately stay alive. These abilities include telekinesis, powerful magic spells and terraforming; manipulation of the game world itself, something that has not been seen to this level before in a video game!

If Son of Nor is successfully funded through Kickstarter, the team anticipate a release in Q2, 2014.
