Moving away from the corporate life grind, the forthcoming action-adventure RPG Dungeons of Hinterberg plunges players into the role of Luisa, a law trainee embarking on an exciting "staycation" in the picturesque Austrian Alps. Developed by Microbird Games, the title combines the zest of a life simulation with the challenging puzzle dungeons typically associated with Legends of Zelda, as well as the action-packed monster fighting of the broader RPG genre.
Unlike serious professional adventurers, Luisa's foray into Hinterberg is solely for a change of pace from her fast-paced corporate life. The Steam page presents Luisa's options to either leave Hinterberg after her first day or stay and become a Master Slayer. Players will be tasked with unearthing dungeons and engaging in exciting adventures while navigating this enchanting world filled with lifelike charm.
Players will witness Luisa wielding swords and magic skills while exploring the splendid environment of Hinterberg. Gameplay elements include snowboarding down glaciers, riding ziplines through lush forests, and mountain climbing in search of hidden dungeons. The dungeons promise to be intriguing, with one example reminiscent of Monument Valley's mind-bending perspective puzzles.
When it's time to take a break, players can immerse themselves in the life aspects of the game. "Spend your nights building friendships with locals and other adventurers! Some of them will help you get stronger or teach you new tricks; others want thrills and selfies," Microbird Games said in a statement. The combination of simulation elements and addictive gameplay takes players into the intriguing world of Hinterberg.
Joining the growing genre of games set within mundane, modern worlds with a fantastical twist, Dungeons of Hinterberg presents an exciting opportunity to explore a delightful virtual world filled with adventure. Combining life simulation, puzzle-solving, and monster slaying, this upcoming RPG takes players on an enchanting journey, providing an entertaining and immersive escape from the everyday grind.
