Draugen is a single-player, first-person Fjord Noir mystery set in 1920s Norway. Explore a forgotten coastal village in your search for your missing sister, accompanied by your independent and enigmatic young ward. Norwegian Game of the Year 2019.
PC Invasion commended Draugen's story, calling it "a compelling tale of tragedy and intrigue" — and they weren't the only ones to highlight the game's narrative.
From the moment Draugen was conceived, the story was in focus, and that's reflected in the reviews and feedback we've received from players and press. It's not a story for everyone, of course, but it's a story that has resonated with audiences across the world. And Edward and Lissie's mysterious journey into darkness in 1920s Norway was a labour of love for the development team.
During the Steam Autumn Sale, you can nominate games for a Steam Award: if you enjoyed the story in Draugen, we would really appreciate your vote.
Of course, Draugen is more than 'just' a story: it's a first-person adventure game with a stirring soundtrack, wonderful acting by Skye Bennett and Nicholas Boulton (as Lissie and Edward respectively), beautiful scenery (rendered by the Unreal Engine) and a wholly unique [i]fjord noir[/i] atmosphere that brings 1920s coastal Norway to vivid life. "Draugen," wrote The Washington Post, "is a pleasant vacation from the world of mainstream gaming." And that was always our goal, to make something that would stand out and stand on its own. The story is only part of that experience, but an important part.
Please consider nominating Draugen for its narrative, or one of the other voting categories. And thanks in advance for your consideration.
