Luisa, worn down by corporate life, takes a vacation in Hinterberg, an Alpine town turned tourist destination by the appearance of magical dungeons. As she explores, she encounters monsters and uncovers secrets tied to the town.
Explore mountain regions and enter dungeons filled with puzzles and combat. Luisa uses a sword and magic, with spells that vary by region and help her navigate hazards and solve environmental challenges. She can also snowboard and explore the surrounding scenery.
The adventure follows a daily rhythm: spend the day exploring or tackling a dungeon, then choose how to spend the evening in town. Building relationships with locals and other adventurers can unlock perks and improvements, while equipment, outfits, and other items offer additional ways to develop Luisa.
Reviewers who enjoyed the game often highlight its varied dungeons, spell-based puzzles, and relaxed mix of exploration, combat, and evenings spent with townspeople. Its Alpine art direction and atmosphere also stand out, and some appreciate the story’s themes around burnout and tourism. Views differ on the social writing and the challenge: some find the relationships engaging, while others feel the dialogue or middle stretch drags; combat and puzzles are also described as easy or repetitive by some players.
Welcome to Hinterberg, a new tourist hotspot in the idyllic Austrian Alps! As Luisa, you escape from the treadmill of corporate life to go on a dungeon exploring vacation. However, you soon discover that not everything is as it seems. Will you restore peace to this once-serene alpine paradise, or be sent straight back to your humdrum life back home?
Every inch of Hinterberg has been crafted with a captivating art style you’ll want to savour. Whether you’re snowboarding down a glacier, climbing mountains, or taking in the lakeside scenery, there’s so much available to explore!
Hinterberg’s dungeons are packed full of playful puzzles designed to surprise and challenge you. Get your thinking cap on and use every spell at your disposal to tackle each dungeon’s unique puzzling twist!
Monsters lurk around every corner in Hinterberg, and your sword and magic skills are essential for keeping them at bay. Harness the wind, conjure a hoverboard out of thin air, or freeze your enemies in a jelly block!
Explore the world or conquer dungeons by day, then spend your evenings forging friendships with the locals and other adventurers in town. Some will help you get stronger, while others are here strictly for the excitement and the selfies!
Stop by Olivia’s Store in town and browse through a collection of stylish outfits! Once you’re decked out in your finest, simply fire up Photo Mode where you can apply filters, poses and overlays to capture a lasting memory of your very own Luisa.
