Great walking sim / mystery game! Environment was great looking and well made, and story was descent. Maybe slightly short time to really get to know the characters well enough. Also a couple of achievements that were a bit unfriendly to collect.

This is a neutral review, not a recommendation per se. Draugen is an extremely short walking sim about a man looking for his sister in a secluded Norwegian village. It ends too soon just as it was about to get interesting. The culmination is not powerful enough. Technical state of the game leaves much to be desired.

Interesting mythology and atmosphere, but you could see the twists coming a mile off and compared to other walking sims like Edith Finch or Everybody's gone to the Rapture it's all a bit bland, for me. Worth a punt if under a fiver.

A weak recommendation, 6.5 out of 10. It's a walking simulator and the story in the background isn't really a great one. Also, there are two very similar plot twists in the game (with the second one clearly visible almost from the very beggining). The first twist was a bit more surprising, but actually welcome, as it made the relation of the protagonists far less creepy for the modern audience (basically, with what we learned about Edward and Alice, the only relationship between them that seemed to make any sense was of an older, 40-ish man and his 17 YO wife, with the marriage having had to last for at least over a year. And the dialogue and the relationship between the characters did seem to sell it. Which would be period realistic, it's 1923, but quite creepy for the modern audience, so I did welcome the plot twist. (That being said I really enjoyed the banter between Edward and Alice and I cannot understand people claiming the dialogue is cringe or unrealistic, as in some comments. The dialogue was very good.) Also, the game is very short, so I'd only consider buying it in a sale.

Draugen tell's a story of loss and acceptance all while ignoring the more interesting aspect of the mystery. It's a shame considering how beautiful and interesting the world is around you and I couldn't help but think of the wasted potential this game has the whole time I played. It's still an interesting experience albeit a tad shallow.
