A short experience, Draugen shines in writing, voice acting, setting and atmosphere. I would characterize it as "psychological suspense mystery". It finds very subtle ways to use game play to make psychological points. I never found walking up an incline with a heavy suitcase as compelling as in this game and it's hard to put a finger on it, why exactly it works. The mystery slowly unfolds, containing multiple reveals that are impactful.

Ultimately it is a meditation on grief, death, loneliness, and philosophy of reality. And slots best into a kind of games as literature genre. Many will be turned off by it not being "game enough" but a better way to think about this genre is "did you think and feel enough", and I definitely got that from Draugen.
