Ambitious new horror game, Draugen, announced by Red Thread Games

Draugen looks to be a refreshing dive into the survival horror genre. Set in the outdoor wilderness of the Norwegian west coast mountains, players will control an American nature photographer as he seeks to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the population of a fishing village within the mountains. Adding to the originality is the time in which it takes place: the 1920’s.

In good old fashioned flare, an eerie woman in black and a broken lullaby singing child are a few of the characters connected to this strange tale. It also sounds like weapons won’t be in large supply, if it all. Maybe we’ll be taking fatal pictures of the ghosts, hm? The story is also said to be inspired by Scandinavian folklore.

Draugen is early in development and will release on PC. It is being developed alongside another game, Dreamfall Chapters, but both games are being worked on by entirely separate teams so that ones development will not negatively impact the other. The game is being funded by a $144,00 grant given to Red Thread Games by the Norwegian Film Institute. It’s good to know that outside sources have faith in the title already.
