Draugen - Un Kholat nordique?
Après avoir réalisé et sorti l'excellent Dreamfall Chapters, Red Thread nous présente son futur projet Draugen un jeu d'horreur à la première personne basé sur une légende scandinave. On y découvre un premier trailer et quelques captures d'écrans mais le résultat semble prometteur. Le jeu sera financé via une campagne Kickstarter qui n'a pas encore commencée mais qui devrait arriver bientôt.
En attendant d'en savoir plus, je vous invite à découvrir la présentation du jeu et je vous indiquerais quand la campagne de financement sera en ligne.
Présentation:
Draugen is a first-person psychological horror adventure, set amongst the deep fjords and towering mountains of Norway’s awe-inspiring west coast.
The game is a dark and disturbing journey into the pitch black heart of Norwegian national romanticism, as seen through the eyes of an American nature photographer, botanist and entomologist.
Inspired by Scandinavian literature, legends and fairytales, along with Norse mythology and the Icelandic sagas, Draugen is set in the early 1920s and delves into the deepest, darkest secrets of a remote fishing community where every single soul has mysteriously vanished.
As the player explores the tiny settlement, gathering clues and memories, and unearthing the truth behind a terrible tragedy, they will learn more about the history of the village and its inhabitants. And they will come to see that behind even the most innocent of facades lurks the potential for malice.
But there is more to this place than meets the eye.
From time to time, a woman in black can be spotted in the distance. Who is she, and what is her connection to this place? Who is the little girl singing broken lullabies as the sky begins to darken? And when night falls, and those last few, precious drops of kerosene in the lamp feed a fragile, flickering flame, what hides out there in the darkness and in the cold, black sea?
Discover the clues. Uncover the memories. Decipher the past. Survive the night.
Draugen (Norwegian; meaning “the Draug”) is an undead creature from Norse mythology. 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…
Draugen est en cours de développement sur PC/Mac/Linux ainsi que les consoles Next-Gen.
