Niflheim: Blood & Bullets

In a world plunged into the dystopian darkness of a global conflict, an international draft has occurred for any person over the age of eighteen. Sent into the depth of battle with a minuscule amount of training, soldier after soldier is lost, but the draft continues.

The Aesir, a squad of new recruits and battle hardened veterans alike, take the war one day at a time, doing their best to survive the massacre and live to see tomorrow. Jason Hermod, a recently drafted private, feels no different. He hopes to finish out his days and return home, having done his duty.

During a particularly gruelling battle on the northern front, in which many members of the squad are killed in action, Jason gets word that his younger sister, a fellow draftee, has become lost in the depth of the jungle. Wrecked with despair, and no longer able to function properly on the battlefield, his commanding officer Sargent John Wodan, makes sure his squad is in charge of the rescue mission.

And so begins Operation Baldur. The mission is simple; locate the lost squad, rescue survivors and return to camp. What’s left of the Aesir are transported as close as they can to the last known whereabouts of the lost squad. At first, everything seems to move smoothly enough, but as the Aesir slowly make the way into the depth of the jungle, it becomes clear there is something watching, something waiting, something wicked.
