Mundaun (2019)
Hand-drawn and set in the Swiss Alps, Mundaun is a walking sim with obtuse puzzles but incredible horror vibes. Its grim, desaturated mountainsides are suffused with dread, its world shifting and transforming in unexpected and unsettling ways. The story revolves around a young man named Curdin who gets sucked into a morbid investigation surrounding the mysterious death of his grandfather. Things unravel from there at carefully paced turns that veer from subtle to menacing. The occasionally clumsy journey is more than made up for by the clever and satisfying conclusions at which it arrives. — EG
