Where the game did succeed in keeping my attention, apart from the visuals, was with the impeccable voice acting of Nicholas Boulton and Skye Bennett, who play Edward and Lissie respectively. What I can talk about, is that a good bit of Draugen is sadly, predictable.Įarly in the game, you’ll start forming your theories on what’s going on and because the game never distracts you well enough, you’ll come up with enough theories that at least one is bound to hit its mark. The game holds those twists and revelations close to heart, so it’d be a real shame if you did somehow discover them beforehand. The nature of the game makes it so that revealing anything about the game’s mysteries would be a spoiler. It’s the perfect foil to a ghost town that’s riddled with mysteries. Once the clouds of the initial day pass on and the sun hits the fjord, you encounter a harmonious medley of vibrant, spellbinding colours. The first thing that really hits you about Draugen is that the village of Graavik might be one of the most picturesque environments painted in a video game. Imagine that, two mysteries for the price of one! And as you investigate the town, peering into the fossils of local life, you’ll find even more mysteries to chip away at. The locals are missing and their houses are abandoned. Upon arriving in the village of Graavik, Edward and Lissie find another mystery afoot. Thankfully, he’s accompanied by his much more bubbly and vivacious ward, Lissie. In Draugen, you play as Edward Charles Harden-an American bookworm who finds himself travelling to a Norwegian village in search of his missing sister Betty. Is it sinister? Is it something lighter? Is it going to throw a curveball at you? Questions outnumber answers, and mysteries multiply. You’re never really sure of what it’s going to be about, and that uncertainty is an ever-present factor through much of the walking and talking that this game involves. What mysteries await? Here’s what we think.ĭraugen has a way of playing coy with you before you’ve even bought the game.
