A new first person survival horror title called Draugen, currently in development at Red Thread Games, will be out in 2015 for PC, Mac, Linux and next-gen consoles.
Set on the western coast of Norway during the 1920s, Draugen is inspired by the “legends and tales” of Norse and Scandinavian mythology. The game takes place in a mysterious fishing village where, unexplainably, everyone has just up and vanished.
“With more questions than answers, you’ll need to discover all the clues left behind in order to uncover what happened in this secluded fishing village, and survive it,” says the developer while describing the setting of the game.
“Draugen is an undead creature from Norse mythology,” the devs explain. “The original Norse meaning of the word is ghost, but unlike traditional ghosts the Draug has a corporeal body and physical abilities. Draug reside in their watery graves, guarding the treasures and secrets that were buried with them. And they will protect those secrets at any cost.”
As we said above, Draguen will be out on the next gen systems as well, but we’re not sure if this includes the Wii U as well or if this is restricted to just the Xbox One and the PS4.
Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated.
