#DRAUGEN NORSE MYTHOLOGY FULL#

The story is experienced through the eyes and spectacles of an American traveler, a stranger in a strange land, searching for his missing sister. вЂњDraugen is set in an isolated coastal village in northwestern Norway in 1923. Here is how Red Thread Games describes the experience: ThatвЂ™s a great setup, so where does all of this take place, besides Norway I mean. вЂњDraugen is a psychological survival horror game, and the player will have to survive and stay sane for one whole week in this harsh and alien environment, while investigating the many mysteries, exploring the village and its surroundings, and escaping the things that moan, whisper, and sing in the uncanny shadows.вЂќ

The quick description of the game is as follows:

Draugrs are also present in New England Gothic, and Scandinavian fairy tales. The title of Draugen is inspired by the Old Norse word вЂњDraugrвЂќ which is the name of an undead creature similar to a ghost, that is present in many stories of Norse Mythology.

Now that the game is in full swing, letвЂ™s take a look at what the game is actually about. They plan on bringing the game to Kickstarter in the near future, but for now they are able to work on it. The grant was $150,000 and the total support for the game is $370,000 which is enough to move into production. Much like the way many governments grant tax breaks to films that are set in their respective location, games are now earning the same consideration. This isnвЂ™t the first time a country has funded a game. Since the game is set in Norway, the country is happily funding the game through a grant. Dreamfall Chapters was funded by Kickstarter, but Red Thread Games is being funded by the Norwegian Film Institute for this new title. ItвЂ™s clear that all the time heвЂ™s spent on Dreamfall has been wearing Ragnar down, so as much as I love the series, IвЂ™m happy to see them moving on to something new. ItвЂ™s become their story rather than ours, and not everybody here worked on The Longest Journey or Dreamfall. вЂњDreamfall belongs to Funcom, it belongs to my youth, it belongs to the fans. Dreamfall Chapters is due out in November 2014.In an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Ragnar talked about the true purpose behind his new studio. Red Thread is currently working on Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey, the sequel to Dreamfall: The Longest Journey that was successfully crowd-funded earlier this year. Decipher the past.В Survive the night.' Another screenshot of Draugen. '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?В 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? 'From time to time, a woman in black can be spotted in the distance,' Red Thread teases. The player explores the settlement, gathering clues and memories as you try to uncover the truth behind a terrible tragedy. And they will protect those secrets at any cost.'Дraugen is set in the early 1920s, in a remote fishing community where everyone has mysteriously vanished. Draug reside in their watery graves, guarding the treasures and secrets that were buried with them. 'The original Norse meaning of the word is ghost,' Red Thread explained, 'but unlike traditional ghosts the Draug has a corporeal body and physical abilities. Draugen is a Norwegian word meaning 'the Draug', an undead creature from Norse mythology. The story is inspired by Scandinavian literature, legends and fairytales, Norse mythology and the Icelandic sagas. Oslo-based studio Red Thread described Draugen as a 'dark and disturbing journey into the pitch black heart of Norwegian national romanticism,В as seen through the eyes of an American nature photographer, botanist and entomologist'. Red Thread Games, developer of Dreamfall, has announced a first-person survival horror game called Draugen, which has won a $144,000 grant from the Norwegian Film Institute.Дraugen, in development for PC, Mac, Linux and next-gen consoles, is set in Norway's west coast, famous for its deep fjords and mountains.
