Genre

The game is a Adventure/Mystery game with creepy elements added to it. Exploring, finding clues about your surroundings and survive are the main goals in this game.



Legend

The idea is based on the legend of the sea Draug from Norse mythology. The Old Norse word Draug translates to revenant, which is a visible ghost or animated corpse that returns from the grave to terrorize the living. The Draug was a representation of all those lost at sea.
In the old days, the Christian population along the west coast of Norway believed that if sailors disappeared at sea, never to be found again, they would return as the Draug, due to the fact that they weren’t buried in the consecrated soil of the cemetery. The priest tried to calm the people, reassuring them that the sea was indeed consecrated. But the sea folk knew better.



Story

You play as a sailor who wakes up, stranded on a mysterious island. He has to find out where he is and try to get help. But he quickly finds out that everything is not how it seems.

Downloading now....

Firstly, great atmosphere, the sound dialogue etc are nice to hear. The island is certainly a spooky place.

Good intro too, with the swimming out of the sea, nice touch.

Has some nice touches like the character reading out the notes, the fog and lighting all add to the eeriness.

Good Work.

Definitely great atmosphere, music was very eerie as well; it kept the mood going. The landscaping was great. I only found one glitch with the grass floating in the air but by its angles it looks to have been more GG's fault than yours. Voicework was superb and sounded professional. The slenderman-like creature was pretty cool as well, although I would have loved to see him animated, but still he was creepy as hell. Great job; I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thanks man! Yeah, the floating grass happens once in a while, unfortunately. But starting the game over again sometimes fixes it We had animation on our list, but so little time Maybe in a future update
