Lovingly Hand-Pencilled Horror Adventure Transports Players to a Sinister Valley of the Swiss Alps on PC and Consoles.
Mundaun, a folklore-inspired survival horror game from Hidden Fields, a one-man studio founded by Swiss programmer and illustrator Michel Ziegler, and publisher MWM Interactive, is now available worldwide. Mundaun is the first full-length game from Ziegler, as well as the debut title in MWMi’s portfolio as an independent games publisher, and is available for digital purchase on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
“It is surreal to finally be able to share Mundaun with players across the world. It has certainly been an emotional roller coaster working on the project for so many years,” said Hidden Fields founder and developer Michel Ziegler. “The Alps hold a special place in my heart, and I wanted to create an experience that embodies my summer trips as a child, while paying homage to the brilliant but dark folklore of the region. I am so thankful for the support of the team at MWMi who helped bring my vision to life, and I hope everyone enjoys playing Mundaun as much as I enjoyed making it.”
In Mundaun, players follow a young man named Curdin to Mundaun, an ominous valley in the Alps, to learn more about the mysterious circumstances behind his grandfather’s death. Along the way, he discovers that something diabolical is haunting the town’s residents and slowly unravels the secrets of Mundaun. Throughout their journey, players will solve intricate puzzles and learn more about the town, while avoiding sinister characters that trigger the game’s fear system, a “cause-and-effect” feature that disorients players when facing dangerous situations. The game has been a passion project for Ziegler since beginning development in 2014, and was inspired by Ziegler’s adoration of the rich history of myth and culture of the Swiss region of Grisons.
