Microbird and Curve Games have come up with a game that’s both an action RPG and a community simulator… all set in the Austrian Alps.

Here’s the game’s overview: “Armed with a sword and a tourist guide, explore the beautiful alpine village of Hinterberg and uncover the magic hidden within its dungeons. Master magic, solve puzzles and slay monsters; all this and more await you in Hinterberg. Prepare to go on a vacation to a modern-day village in the Austrian Alps, but instead of hiking or skiing, you’ll be slaying monsters, hunting for loot, and solving puzzles. Twenty-five magical dungeons have recently appeared around Hinterberg, and monster slaying has become a major tourist attraction, drawing adventurers from all over the world to the small village. Snowboard down a glacier, zipline through the forest, climb a mountain, or have a coffee by the lake… There’s no shortage of places to discover while looking for your next dungeon.

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 snowboard out of thin air, or freeze your enemies in a jelly block. Braving a dungeon requires more than just cutting-edge sports gear and a good sword arm: Hinterberg’s dungeons are full of puzzles that will surprise and challenge you. Use your head, magic skills, and every trick in the book to solve them. Spend your nights forging friendships with the locals and other adventurers. Some will help you get stronger or teach new tricks; others are just for excitement and selfies… But good relationships don’t just make your stay more memorable—they’re the key to becoming a better slayer.”

Microbird co-founder Regina Reisinger in a press release, said, “With Hinterberg, our goal is to create an exceptional place to explore. From the stylized art to the modern but fantastic alpine setting, Dungeons of Hinterberg takes you on a unique vacation jam-packed with monster-slaying and puzzle solving.”

Dungeons of Hinterberg will be released for Xbox Series and PC (Steam) in the spring of 2024. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.
