SUMMARY:

Hylja is a horror adventure game set in 1800s Norway,  following the story of Birk, who has found himself lost on a sæter (a Nordic mountain farm). Follow him as he finds a way to escape, fixing a boat and discovering what the seemingly abandoned farm has to offer for him.

TRAILER:

FEATURE LIST:

  • Horror and adventure - The game takes inspiration from different game genres, as well as some genre specifics from folktales. Even so, if you strip away the game’s design and gameplay into fundamentals, it’s strictly an horror/adventure game. The player should feel adrenaline from being hunted by the monster as well as feel adventurous while wondering what’s next in the story. 
  • Huldra and Norwegian folklore - Birk finds himself trapped in an abandoned Norwegian mountain farm, but he isn’t completely alone. A female figure roams around him, and he has a strange nostalgic feeling towards her.
  • Survive, escape - Trapped on a mountain farm, Birk wants to find a way to escape and get back home. Finding a blueprint of a boat, he wanders around trying to find it, only to find it’s broken and need to be fixed.
  • Interact with Huldra - Huldra’s apparent friendly manner leads to Birk trusting her a little too easy. Her motives become clear in a short while, as she asks him to marry her. This is when Birk realises his situation; as he denies her love, she turns into a monster unlike any other, almost not recognisable from her previous state.


KNOWN BUGS:

  • Outline of objects might persist as you stop looking at them, which can be fixed by just looking at it again and then looking away.
  • Hair physics on Hylja do not collide with their meshes. 
  • Some materials emitting light are not present in the ship build, but is being worked on.

FEEDBACK:

We would greatly appreciate feedback, and hope to hear your opinions on our game!

Great game! Love it! Just few suggestions, use post processing to make the game look moody and like a horror, right now it looks beautiful and nicely saturated and looks and lights are bright , it is great for adventure rpg or survival, but for horror games it must be moody and dull also with less saturation for colors.

I tried many times, but it was a struggle getting the game to keep working, the game stopped working many times in the cave transition, once i got through that, but then i went off road during a chase scene and got stuck and it kept saving me there :) other tries game just stops working at cave transistions. Shame would have loved to see the ending
