![]() The once picturesque island begins to paint a different picture as the dark clouds set in and our protagonist’s mental state begins to take a turn for the worst. Despite the small village residing within a peaceful and relaxing location, cut off from the outside world as it hides away on its own island, there’s a dark side which is waiting to be uncovered.Īs your search gets deeper, secrets and past events become clearer as you piece together tales from the past. Together, you set out to investigate the mystery of where your sister could have got to whilst you take residence with a local family in a farmhouse atop a beautiful mountain. Thankfully you’re not alone, you’ve brought along with you a young energetic girl called Lissie. In Draugen you take the role of Edward Charles Harden, an American who has travelled to Norway in search of his sister who has gone missing recently. Instead, we’re presented with a short two-three hour ‘Fjord Noir’ experience which you’ll be thinking about long after you’ve seen the credits roll – thanks to its brilliant writing and immersive storytelling.ĭue for release on consoles later this year, and available now on PC, why should everyone who loves a good story purchase this game? Let’s find out… Unlike their previous game, the brilliant Dreamfall Chapters, Draugen isn’t a 30+ hour adventure game in which you proceed down branching paths and solve puzzles by interacting with various people and objects. Developers Red Thread Games have delivered a beautiful, yet harrowing, interactive narrative adventure in the form of Draugen, a game which has you hooked from the opening title sequence all the way through to the end credits. However, despite my dislike of the derogatory ‘genre’, it’s one which most people understand when describing games such as Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Dear Esther, and Draugen. ‘Walking Simulator’ is a term which I don’t like using as it doesn’t paint the right kind of picture for what you’re about to experience.
