Mundaun is a hand-penciled horror tale set in a dark, secluded valley of the alps where you explore various areas full of secrets to discover, survive hostile encounters, drive vehicles, fill your inventory and solve a variety of puzzles.

Mundaun takes players on a journey of a young man who travels to a dark, secluded valley of the Alps to face off with a malevolent entity that resides there and uncovers the mystery of his grandfather’s death.

Mundaun is a survival horror game set on the darker side of the Alps, and follows a young man named Curdin who travels to the Swiss town of Mundaun to learn more about the mysterious circumstances behind his grandfather’s death, and soon discovers that something diabolical is haunting the town’s residents. Throughout their journey across Mundaun, players will solve intricate puzzles to uncover the town’s secrets, while avoiding sinister characters that trigger the game’s fear system, a “cause-and-effect” feature which disorients players when facing dangerous situations.  

Mundaun has been a passion project for Ziegler since beginning development on the game in 2014. Having spent summers in the Swiss Alps as a child, Ziegler has an adoration for the region, including the culture and its various folktales passed down for generations.


Annapurna Interactive announced that it has picked up the publishing rights to Mundaun and will be relaunching the game for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
