Overview

Magic collides with retro high-tech in Nora and Frank, a free-to-play action roguelike that plunges players into a bizarre post-apocalyptic setting. Developed and published by Chertobook, this indie title offers a unique blend of charming absurdity and unsettling danger. Players step into the shoes of Nora, a goblin engineer, who teams up with Frank, a sentient mimic suitcase, to battle through relentless enemy hordes. Their mission: to rescue Nora's loved ones from a shadowy villain. The game promises a chaotic yet charming auto-shooter experience, where familiar fantasy tropes and 1950s Americana aesthetics are twisted into a surreal, decaying world.
