Walking simulator with bad story

Music is good, and nothing else. A quite small area you walk throug over and over again for about 3h following a highly linear plot that will reach IMHO unsatysfying end. Played this with my wife and while we have quite different tastes both of us felt hugely dissapointed. I wouldn't call this a game, just a slow story elling that was IMHO subpar. I don't recommend unless you are very sure you love slightly interactive movies.

A well written walking simulator

Production values are top notch, beutifull graphics and scenery, a great score, well written and acted and the story is overall well done (even if a little predictable). Overall well worth playing even if it's quite short (took me just under 3 hours) One thing you should know before going in however, is that if you read up on the game when it was annouced it has changed significantly. This is a walking simulator (i.e. an adventure game with focus on exploration and story and with practically no convensional gameplay), it's a very good example, just shy of what i concider the top games in the genre (Firewatch, Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch). You are an american who together with your ward, explore a remote norwegian village in search for your missing sister. But when you arrive the entire town seams deserted and you try to figure out what happend to the villagers all while searching for your sister. The name draugen might give you some ideas if you know your folklore trivia, but here comes the thing I mentioned earlier about the game changing. It was first announced as a survival horror game, and while there are still some horror elements pressent, it's nothing close to a survival horror. The name is not exactly missleading, but you might get disapointed if you expect something that's not there. If you go in expecting a narrative driven adventure, not something similar to Alien Isolation where you are hunted by a Draug, you will probably like this one.

Worth the few hours

Summary: Decent, pretty exploration game you can finish in a long evening. Positives: - everything is voiced - artwork is great. This is the first exploration game where they nailed /some/ 3D characters - if this game were longer than 3-4 hours, i would not have made it - the dialogue tree system is refreshing - overall the feeling of the game is really cool; is the main character going crazy? was he always crazy? i liked that negatives: - Story is so predictably obvious in some places and completely under developed in others. And the underdeveloped parts seem more important than the completely obvious, cliche parts - the main character is a loser - there's a journal system that isn't used at all - the only character that's always on screen is terribly animated when she talks.

It should've been a book

Seriously. The narrative is perfectly fine, with some neat ideas, but the gameplay side of things just isn't engaging. Even as walking sims go, letting the player get lost or make deductions doesn't really add much.

Beautiful, linear, short. It's OK.

Draugen is competently made, using the unreal engine to portray the Norwegian countryside. For me, the historical setting in Norway was a huge plus for this game. It's as short as the length indicators on gog would suggest and gameplay/world interaction is rather limited, which decreases replayability further. This is kind of a walking sim which will have you walk and explore through an interesting plot with a great and dense atmosphere. I liked the character interactions, but the dialogue system felt a bit like it doesn't have any impact whatsoever most of the time. And gameplay thus really does feel like you're on a rail. Draugen is alright for what it is but don't expect any miracles and keep in mind it's a very short game. Kind of like a feature film to walk through and find out what thing you're allowed to click on. I would've wished for more interactions or more exploration.
