There is nothing wrong with the gameplay, but you aren’t going to play Draugen for its gameplay. There isn’t any puzzle solving in the game as you just have to find the relevant pieces of information/items to advance the story. These two mechanics push you towards exploring the town which progresses the story. There are also dialog decisions to make when interacting with Lissie.
TRICK TO FINDING THE DRAUGEN SIMULATOR
Like a lot of games that are given the walking simulator tag, most of the gameplay revolves around walking around and interacting with the environment. I alluded to this at the beginning of the review but I want to expound a little more on what type of game Draugen is. Will Edward and Lissie find Betty and what will they find out about the town in the process? As they begin their search for Betty, they quickly realize this small peaceful town hides a dark secret. As they arrive in the small town, they are amazed by the town’s peacefulness and beauty. Joining Edward on his journey is his ward Lissie, an energetic younger woman who is always up for an adventure.
Edward travels from America to a small rural town in Norway after receiving a letter from his sister, Betty, who has gone missing.

Draugen might be a little lacking in the gameplay department, but it has a compelling and satisfying story filled with plenty of twists and turns. When I first saw Draugen I was intrigued as the story and theme looked really interesting. I bring this all up because I would classify Draugen as a walking simulator adventure game. I personally prefer the term “interactive story” as it puts an larger emphasis on the story which is where these type of games excel. I personally have never been a big fan of the term “walking simulator” as it seems like it was mostly designed as an insult. The gameplay takes a secondary role to the story as you mostly just walk around and interact with the environment. This is mostly because they are unlike your traditional video games. One of the most controversial video game genres seems to be the “walking simulator.” The reason why the genre is controversial is because a lot of people don’t even think these games should be considered video games.
