![]() To understand Alice, you have to understand the game’s protagonist, Edward Harden, and the society around Graavik. DO NOT read ahead unless you’ve either played the game or don’t mind spoilers. So, if you want to play Draugen yourself, there are spoilers after this point. But, to do so, I will have to dig into the details of this game. ![]() And, by doing so, perhaps we can get a better picture of how this ‘Fjord Noir’ tale ended. ![]() So, I decided to take what I know so far from Draugen’s story to put together a better picture of the mysterious Alice. And the fact that, by game’s end, most of the questions we all had revolved around here is troubling to say the least. It is safe to say that a great deal of Draugen’s plot depends on her personality and motivations: arguably making her the game’s heroine while the main character, Edward Charles Harden, serves as the protagonist and yes, there is a reason I’m using two distinct terms to clarify the roles they play. However, for myself and the streaming audience, our intrigue came to a screaming halt as more was revealed about the protagonist’s companion: a teenage girl named Alice. The story is dense and although it is a brief adventure, clocking in at just over three hours, it manages to spin an impressive tale of death, rage and regrets. The atmospheric mystery set in the fjords follows a young man searching for his sister. Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to stream the latest release from Norwegian developer Red Thread Games: Draugen.
