Calluna

Calluna is an adventure game about the Norwegian composer and violinist Ole Bull (1810–1880). You play as Ole Bull in four independent adventures, as a young and old man, and as rich and poor. Explore semi-open, first-person worlds in Bergen, Paris and Cairo, interact with items and townspeople, collect objects, and solve quests based on historical events as you pursue his dream of fame and glory.

Ole Bull’s life

The adventures draw on events from Bull’s turbulent life. A child prodigy, he made his public debut as a soloist at age nine and became one of the 19th century’s best-known performing artists. He was caught up in Norwegian romantic nationalism and supported the idea of Norway as a sovereign state separate from Sweden.

Bull is believed to have composed more than 70 works, though only about ten are known today. He became famous and wealthy, drew inspiration from Norway’s scenery and mountains, and tried to establish a colony in Pennsylvania in 1852. Calluna was his favorite flower.

Norwegian history

The game features Norwegian scenery, history and national romance, and takes you through episodes from the life of a Norwegian public figure.
