The Draugen is based on Draugr, an undead creature from Norse mythology.The Draugen is considered undead and thus is affected by the salve amulet. A common strategy to find it quickly is by waiting in a specific location until it is nearby, usually by the river.
After a while it will teleport far from its last location, which gives the player the message in their chatbox "The Draugen has moved elsewhere.". Depending on where it is found, it may be lured behind a tree stump and safespotted. It will periodically move around, where it can be anywhere from the river leading to Rellekka by the Council workman spanning all the way east, and in the forest area east of Rellekka. This works very much like a Runecrafting talisman, telling the player in which direction to travel to find the Draugen. It can only be found by using a Hunters' talisman given by Sigli. You can purchase the game on Steam or Draugen is a monster encountered during The Fremennik Trials quest that must be defeated in order to gain council member Sigli's vote. This is only a story, after all, one that you are telling yourself. It's a spooky ride for sure, with plenty of little things that will prickle at the back your neck as you go, but you’re safe in it. You are instead taken on a ride, and all you can do is control the speed. With no combat featured in the title you won’t be battling the hordes of the Norse undead, nor will you have to complete any detective puzzles to progress further into the story. Outside of that, there isn’t that much more to say. Of course, Draugen is far from the only game to marry the two together, but it is a trope that we probably don’t need to see much these days. While the story is good and the mystery is well worth diving into, those latter moments (that I won’t spoil here, of a course) felt a little bit weak compared to the rest of the character building. Like so many other games, Draugen tangles mental health and the supernatural together in a way that occasionally comes across as lazy and thoughtless. But it’s so pretty you won’t mind wandering around for a solution, and you’ll nearly always find it.ĭraugen isn’t perfect, though, and one big factor that stops me from overwhelmingly recommending this game is towards the end of the story. Sometimes in the early hours, it can be a little tricky to work out what you’re meant to do, especially if you’ve spotted where you think you’ll end up. 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. Although some stories describe them as drinking blood creature, they are more like zombies (monsters) than vampires. 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. The Draugar are the undead of Norse Mythology. 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.
