The game will give you a map, but by the end you’ll know which way you’re going. This lets you really get to know the town. You can understand his motives and his reasoning, even if you don’t always agree with him.Īlthough Draugen will only take you a handful hours to complete even if you’re taking your sweet time with it, the game itself takes place over several terribly quiet days. And with Lissie comes most of the dialogue and conversations, you discuss theories and memories with her in a way that makes the character of Edward feel alive. Not only does this breath some life in a genre that is normally best depicted in stills, but it also adds to the otherworldly stillness of the town. Much more excitable than Edward, Lissie will run head, interact with the world and move throughout.
For one your companion is a dynamic, moving character. While some might call this a walking simulator, there are several factors that make it stand out against the likes of Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch and others cut from a similar cloth. The pacing works wonders to keep you interested, making twists and turns into perfect moments in the story to reinvigorate your investigation. It is a remarkably gripping adventure, with the tension really keeping a grip all the way through. You’ve come with a companion, the young woman Lissie, and the game revolves around discovering the mysteries of this town, and its abandoned mine, and what that has to do with your sister. You play as Edward, a man that came to this forgotten part of the world in order to find his missing sister, a journalist who has vanished on her way here. A creature of the past risen once again to attack the living, and it's the perfect title for this mystery adventure. A Draugen, as Norse fans are no doubt aware of, is an undead monster known as an again-walker. While the atmosphere throughout is intensely creepy, the heart and soul of the game is the central characters, their relationship and the demons from their past. That being said, Draugen is not what I would call a horror game. The barren town is creepy, but the mystery surrounding its emptiness is what worries you the most. There's a sense of unwelcoming, supernatural tension that stems directly from nature itself. Draugen is probably one of the best examples of folk horror wrapped into video game format.
