'Draugen' (ALL) Finally Gets Console Date - Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 29, 2020 @ 9:42 a.m. PST

Draugen is a first-person survival horror adventure, set amongst the deep fjords and towering mountains of Norway’s awe-inspiring west coast.

Draugen is set in an isolated coastal village in northwestern Norway in 1923. The story is experienced through the eyes — and spectacles — of an American traveler, a stranger in a strange land, searching for his missing sister. But when the traveler arrives in this village on the edge of the civilised world, he finds that nothing is quite what it seems...and there are things out there in the deep, dark waters.

Inspired by a heady mix of Norse mythology and New England Gothic, Nordic noir and H.P. Lovecraft, Scandinavian fairy tales and the breathtaking Norwegian landscapes, Draugen will take the brave player on a mysterious, mystical and moody journey into a darkly picturesque nightmare.

As the player explores the tiny settlement, gathering clues and memories, and unearthing the truth behind a terrible tragedy, they will learn more about the history of the village and its inhabitants. And they will come to see that behind even the most innocent of facades lurks the potential for malice.

But there is more to this place than meets the eye.

From time to time, a woman in black can be spotted in the distance. Who is she, and what is her connection to this place? Who is the little girl singing broken lullabies as the sky begins to darken? And when night falls, and those last few, precious drops of kerosene in the lamp feed a fragile, flickering flame, what hides out there in the darkness and in the cold, black sea?

Discover the clues. Uncover the memories. Decipher the past. Survive the night.

On February 21, 2020, Xbox One and PS4 players are finally invited to visit the picturesque town of Graavik and uncover its mysteries through the eyes of an increasingly unreliable narrator…
