Draugen is the new video game in the works from developers Red Thread hitting shelves in 2015. Today we have a great teaser trailer to share with you, showing you some footage from the survival horror-adventure game set in a 1923 Norwegian fishing village.

"It's HP Lovecraft meets Dostoyevsky," said Red Thread head Radgar Tornquist, "Or Gone Home meets Amnesia."

The title of this creepy new game is taken from Norse mythology and is the name of an undead creature.

Check out this new teaser trailer for Draugen right here:

Here is a brief synopsis of the game taken from Red Thread's website:

Draugen is a first-person survival horror adventure, set amongst the deep fjords and towering mountains of Norway's awe-inspiring west coast. The game is a dark and disturbing journey into the pitch-black heart of Norwegian national romanticism, as seen through the eyes of an American nature photographer, botanist and entomologist ... From time to time, a woman in black can be spotted in the distance. 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? 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?

To say that we're excited for this game is a huge understatement. Survival horror games are becoming the most successful genre of video games these days, especially with the new capabilities of the Next-Gen consoles. Mixing that concept with the Norse mythology makes it that much more intriguing!
