How it plays
TODO: this page is for the author's own words. The headings are ready; under each, the mods that shape that part of the game are listed from the live mod list, so the page stays accurate while the text is written.
In short
TODO: three or four sentences on how a playthrough of Njordlinger feels compared with the unmodded game, and who the list is for.

TODO: what that means for a player (travel, visibility, the cold), in the author's words.
Snow underfoot
