    Mundaun has got an interesting story to tell and it also has multiple endings. There are quite a few secrets to be found for the curious that want to go about exploring its open world. The game clocks in at around 8 hours long for me – probably around 6 hours for most people that don’t get sidetracked too easily. Mundaun is a creative masterpiece of a horror game. If you enjoy horror games make sure you give this game a try.

    Undeniably odd, yet constantly willing to be accessible, Mundaun has a lot to offer anyone fond of horror and exploration.

    Mundaun is a gripping and unique horror adventure with an immersive portrayal of rural Switzerland and a distinctive visual presentation that only gets more uncanny the longer you look at it.

    There's something here that horror enthusiasts will definitely enjoy, and even though it might not become one of your favourite horror experiences of all time, Mundaun is still a game that deserves your attention, at least for one playthrough.

    The game’s sketchbook aesthetic works favorably to conjure the impression of a Northern European folk tale and offset its rough-around-the-edges character.

    Mundaun’s greatest achievement is the Swiss Alps setting that’s brought to life with tangible vigor.

    Unique visuals, intriguing story and setting : even if it feels technically outdated, Mundaun succeeds in making you want to solve its mysteries. But it has many issues, starting with your character's sluggishness and how action and stealth can feel erratic and painful.

The game grabbed me from the very start and I love it . The hand drawn, yet 3D visuals are unlike anything I have ever seen and are both beautiful and haunting. The story unfolds wonderfully. It is creepy but not too intense. Bravo!!… Expand

The gameplay is basic and a bit clunky, but it is of secondary importance anyway. The dreamlike, nightmarish atmosphere, achieved with music, sound design, animation and the beautifully strange Romansh language is the reason you play this.
    It's not a horror game in the usual sense of the word. No jump scares or any real horror survival mechanics. Just the constant unsettling feeling of being a part of the dark and creepy side of Swiss folklore. What more can you ask for?    … Expand

There are few games like Mundaun and its very successful in many areas of the weird horror it explores. This is definitely a great option for fans of atmospheric horror games with interesting visuals.… Expand

Game play wise it was very basic, but it gets the job done, I ran into a few physics bugs which had me flying through the air as well as getting my truck stuck and some other random things, another bug was absolutely game breaking and completely halted my progress, though the Developers got right on it and fixed it within about a week and I was able to complete the game. All in all a great little game that should take you anywhere from 5 to 9 hours to complete. I highly recommend you check this out! 8/10… Expand

    Mundaun is one of those indie horror games that shines solely because of how strange it is. A meticulous and passionate design for a worldMundaun is one of those indie horror games that shines solely because of how strange it is. A meticulous and passionate design for a world based on the hand drawn art style of pencil scribblings. The atmosphere and horror are just that much more effective because of its swiss folklore roots and spoken dialogue. Something can be said for the simplistic jank and traditional Amnesia style horror that games in this genre have. An item collecting based puzzle game with very, VERY basic combat and threats. The game shows a lot of promise and delivers from a narrative driven horror perspective. Otherwise its basic, has next to no real threats from the monsters, its short, it has strange game mechanic progression. But I still really liked it for some reason. Its got a lot of charm and the atmospheric setting, story and sound design is great.
