Dungeons Of Hinterberg, a single-player mix of action-RPG and social sim set in the Austrian Alps, blends hack-and-slash action RPG gameplay with social elements, allowing players to battle monstrous creatures from Alpine myths, explore dungeons, and forge friendships. 

Armed with a sword and a tourist guide, explore the beautiful alpine village of Hinterberg and uncover the magic hidden within its dungeons. Master magic, solve puzzles and slay monsters; all this and more await you in Hinterberg. Prepare to go on a vacation to a modern-day village in the Austrian Alps, but instead of hiking or skiing, you’ll be slaying monsters, hunting for loot and solving puzzles. 25 magical dungeons have recently appeared around Hinterberg, and monster slaying has become a major tourist attraction, drawing adventurers from all over the world to the small village.

In the small Austrian village of Hinterberg, a tourist destination with lush scenery, crisp mountain air, and magical dungeons full of Alpine mythical monsters, adventurers from all over the world come to complete the Dungeon Challenge, find epic loot and hang out at Hinterberg's famous apres-slay bar. Players can explore dungeons, solve puzzles, slay huge bosses - then have a Schnitzel with the locals and other slayers from around the globe. Building deep relationships can unlock special abilities and give players key items, helping them find their way through a daunting dungeon.

"With Hinterberg, our goal is to create a truly special place to explore: From the stylized art to the modern but fantastic alpine setting, Dungeons of Hinterberg takes you on a unique vacation jam-packed with monster-slaying and puzzle solving." said Regina Reisinger, Microbird Co-Founder.

Curve Games and Microbird Games today revealed that Dungeons of Hinterland launches its first playable demo on June 8th.

The new demo allows players to experience a full in-game day cycle beginning on Day 7.

Dungeons of Hinterberg will also be part of Steam Next Fest June 2024, which runs from June 10th to 17th at 10am PT/6pm BST, giving players a taste of a day in the life of Luisa, as the protagonist explores Kolmstein.
