Long time, no see! But we missed you and actually have a small community update for Draugen… *Pretend there’s a drumroll sound here* Our Discord has been updated to include Draugen (along with our other older games)! This means there’s finally a place to discuss the Fretland brothers or share fan art of Lissie. We’re still working hard to create games we think you’d enjoy, and Discord is one of the best places to keep up to date. There will also be some exclusive giveaways for old RTG merch in the future, but you probably don’t care about that. Free merch… Given away for free… People tend to n

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Draugen is described as a “fjord noir”, a story-heavy mystery set in an isolated (in fact, abandoned) town in 1920s Norway. It’s also got a character called Alice in it, which is a good sign. She’s the teenage ward of bookish American nerd Edward, and he’s dragged her half way across the world to Graavik to find his missing sister Betty. Things, predictably, aren’t what they seem. (more…)

Red Thread Games, the Norwegian developer behind Dreamfall Chapters and Draugen, has revealed a brand new game called Dustborn. It's a storied, single-player action adventure about a black lady called Pax who recruits and leads a group of misfit friends with weird powers on a road-trip across the Divided States of America (that's how it's referred to). It's brightly coloured and looks like a graphic novel in motion, and it's going to have more action than in previous Red Thread games. Brilliantly, you'll also be able to wield weaponised words. They'll be fuelled by misinformation and used to f

"Has it really been one year, Lissie?" "It has, Teddy bear. And what a year!" "I must admit, the days blur together in this forsaken hole under the hills." "Oh, don't be a Debbie Downer. We're lucky! There are worse places to be stuck than Graavik." "Are there? I've eaten enough dried cod and potato soup to last me a lifetime." "But the fresh air! The soft grass! The mountains and the fjord! All this space to frolic around in!" "I'll leave the frolicking to you. I'm going for a nap." "You're such a dreadful bore, Edward. Come on, learn to live a little!"

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33929866/216c668f69270ff771a320bb1a6c8932f0bb07d0.jpg Celebrate the season with Edward and Lissie, our intrepid explorers who travel to 1920s Norway to find Edward's missing sister Elizabeth, and who end up uncovering the darkness that lies beneath the picturesque surface of a quiet coastal village. Draugen takes place in October 1923, but that doesn't mean it's not the perfect game for a long winter's evening. Because it is. Snuggle up with your favourite blanket and a cup of tea (or, even better, mulled wine) and join Edward and Lissie on their journey to the town of Graav

PC Invasion commended Draugen's story, calling it "a compelling tale of tragedy and intrigue" — and they weren't the only ones to highlight the game's narrative. From the moment Draugen was conceived, the story was in focus, and that's reflected in the reviews and feedback we've received from players and press. It's not a story for everyone, of course, but it's a story that has resonated with audiences across the world. And Edward and Lissie's mysterious journey into darkness in 1920s Norway was a labour of love for the development team. During the Steam Autumn Sale, you can nominate games for

We've released the first patch for Draugen. Version 1.1 addresses a couple of serious issues along with a few minor ones. Unreal Engine upgrade from version 4.20 to 4.22, fixing a crash-to-desktop on older AMD GPUs Tweaked texture pooling settings to improve overall texture quality Fixed an achievement that was unavailable in v1.0: 'The Conversationalist'. You will need to replay the ending of the game (choose 'Continue' from the main menu) to receive the achievement, if you've already finished the game Fixed some minor graphical glitches in the game Thanks for playing, and please let us know

Developer: Red Thread Games Publisher: Red Thread Games Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam, GOG For: 17, $20, 20 Draugen has definitely reaffirmed my belief that any era before the present was a more annoying time to be alive. Just, the logistics of it. In this case, the 20s seem to have been an absolute waste. Imagine getting a letter confirming you re going to stay with someone, sending a letter back, and then travelling for an actual month just to get there. And then when you turn up the entire village is mysteriously empty, and you have to spend a week sleeping on the sofa do

Hoist the sails, listeners, we re going over there on a voyage of discovery. And if this turns out to be another damn Electronic Wireless Show about sport you are entirely at liberty to mutiny.

Scenic and spooky “Fjord noir mystery” Draugen is out now. The latest from Red Thread Games (Dreamfall Chapters) and Ragnar T rnquist, it’s an exploration adventure set in and around a seemingly abandoned coastal town in 1920s Norway. Player character Edward is a nervous, bookish American who avoids travelling even outside his own library, but when his sister goes missing, him and his young ward Lissie head off in search of answers. Sightseeing, amateur detective sleuthing and some potentially grim secrets abound. Below, a launch trailer. (more…)

It's been a long time coming but Dreamfall Chapters developer Red Thread Games' intriguing first-person "fjord noir mystery", Draugen, will finally arrive on Steam and GOG next week, on 29th May. Draugen, which was first unveiled back in 2013, unfolds against the picturesque rural backdrop of 1920s Norway, and follows the tribulations of American traveller Edward Charles Harden and his "gregarious and enigmatic young ward" Lissie, as they search for Edward's missing sister. Despite originally being pitched as something closer to a survival horror game back in 2013 (Red Thread called it a "dark

Scenic Norwegian mystery Draugen might have missed its original 2015 release date a tad, but judging by today’s story trailer, it hasn’t suffered for its extra development time. Now due out next month, Red Thread Games and writer Ragnar T rnquist (The Longest Journey, The Secret World) are ready to show a little more of their 1920s investigative adventure. Amusingly described by the developers as “Fjord Noir”, players control Edward Harden, a bookish, nervous sort searching for his missing sister with the help of his young ward, Lissie. See how the two get along in the
