That's why there are no flashbacks or anything. The ambiguity in the story - lack of explanation of what really happened in Graavik, along with other unexplained things, was there because the story couldn't be fleshed out with the budget available.
#DRAUGEN CREATURE SIMULATOR#
So they changed it to a walking simulator with a mystery theme and mild psychological horror elements included. Evidently the developers could not secure the money needed to make that sort of game. In order to bring a Lovecraft-style story to life, a full-length game is more appropriate, if not essential. One with story and horror! Make it happen, Red Thread! I can hope for another adventure for Edward and Lissie in Draugen: Chapter Two I guess. You can still see pieces left of 2014's Draugen in the game we have now, but it makes me sad we'll never get to play that version of the game. Don't get me wrong, I do not dislike the Draugen that was released in May 2019, but it ended abruptly with a lot of loose ends that left me craving more to see in Graavik and its gorgeous scenery.Įxploring a spooky, abandoned (or is it?) village and cursed mine with Lissie and solving the mystery of the Viking treasure! What about the drawing in Ruth's room of the creepy creature guarding it? Seeing what that monster really looks like in a horror game setting would be great! This was the kind of game I could get behind! A story driven horror game, much like Layers of Fear or Call of Cthulhu.

Unholy cults with sacrificial rituals live an isolated life, spilling blood to keep their Lovecraftian gods at bay. Investigating the (seemingly) empty town and the curse of the mine seemed to convey a much more sinister story. When this game was first announced back in 2014, the game appeared to have a much more darker feel to it. I was excited to play Draugen when I first watched the original trailer.
