Plot
A mother searches through a forest on a strange island, on the west shore of Norway, for her missing son. Her son has been kidnapped by a mysterious man called Old Erik, another folktale name in Scandinavia for the devil. The story is heavily influenced by Norse mythology and Norwegian folk tales. The style and environments of the game is also inspired by the art of renowned Norwegian painters.
Gameplay
The game features interesting lighting and sounds that plays tricks on, and deceives the player. As the player explores the woods they will find many hidden caves and passageways containing secrets about the island where the game takes place. The main character is only equipped with a flashlight and will need this and sneaking skills to get past the creature inhabiting this grim place.
