From the moment we set out to create Dungeons of Hinterberg, we knew that the art style had to be as captivating as the story itself. The game’s visual aesthetic isn’t just eye candy—it’s a key part of the experience that draws players into its magical world of mystery and adventure.

Whether you’re exploring quaint Alpine villages or battling mysterious creatures in hidden mountain dungeons, every scene in Hinterberg should feel like stepping into a vibrant hand-crafted World.

But Dungeons of Hinterberg is more than just a feast for the eyes. The game’s visual style works hand-in-hand with its storytelling to bring to life a rich world of Austrian legends and myths. As you journey through the game, you’ll encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with their own backstory, quirks, and challenges. From mystical creatures inspired by local folklore to the charming townsfolk who populate the villages, every interaction is designed to deepen your connection to the world of Hinterberg.

We’re proud of how Dungeons of Hinterberg has resonated with players around the world. The game’s art style is more than just beautiful visuals—it’s a vital part of the immersive experience that makes Hinterberg feel alive.

If you’ve been captivated by the vibrant landscapes, the atmospheric lighting, and the intricate character designs that bring this magical world to life, we’d be honored to receive your vote in the Steam Awards.

Dungeons of Hinterberg has been selected for a Midweek Deal and is now 50% off for a limited time to celebrate the release of our New Game+ update! There’s never been a better time to dive into Hinterberg’s magic—whether you’re picking it up for the first time or ready to relive the adventure with fresh features and exciting new ways to play. Don’t miss out—join players around the world in experiencing Dungeons of Hinterberg like never before!


Here are some highlights from the New Game+ update. You can find a full breakdown at the end of the post.

ENGAGING REPLAYABILITY

The main goal of New Game+ is to provide players an enhanced second playthrough. You can play through the game from the start, while keeping your last playthrough's inventory, player stats, and most of the perks that you received from relationship level-ups! In addition, you can choose to either keep your past relationships or reset them and build them again from scratch.

Enemies will pose a greater challenge. Some will have new melee shields; others will boast increased ranges or more intense attacks. Also, more enemies will have magic shields in general.

To help deal with these nastier enemies, we’ve added 4 new attack conduits to give you additional combat options.



Downpour - Giant water projectiles that rain down from the sky.

Piercing Glance - Numerous eyes open in the void around Luisa, shooting lasers in all directions.

Rage - Luisa's speed and damage is increased for a short period, while damage taken is also reduced.

Wind Dash - Luisa dashes forward, damaging everything in her path.

We’ve also added some more outfits for your customization pleasure. Some of them you’ll find at Olivia’s Outfits in town, while others will be received on satisfying certain criteria.

To top it off, we’ve added ‘Armor Visuals’ which apply when using Luisa’s base outfit only – This allows players to see the armor they’re equipping, along with providing amazing new looks for pads, leggings, and body armor!

Finally, 9 new achievements will provide more goals to work towards, offering new challenges for seasoned players looking to test their skills.

The first place you’ll visit will be Hinterberg itself. You’ll spend a lot of your slaycation here, getting to know the locals as well as fellow adventurers. It can be a bit overwhelming, being on your own in a new place, but never fear, Theresa, your host, will be more than happy to guide you in the right direction! Once you’re settled into your hotel, she’ll let you know where to go to get trained so you’re ready for some monster slaying!

Another place you’ll visit will be Hinterwald, a beautiful, autumnal forest. There are plenty of places to relax and take in the magnificent scenery here, as well as opportunities to fly through the forest, feeling the wind flowing through your hair!

It wouldn’t be a holiday in the Alps without some snow – when you head up to Kolmstein, you’ll finally get to carve on your magical hoverboard! You can ride the rails into Ice Caves, challenge fellow adventurers on the Slalom, and even make the most of some exclusive transportation options up there…if you know the right people!

You’ll also visit the swamps of Brünnelsumpf! Offering a very different vibe to the other areas, here you can kayak through the tranquil marshes and face new monsters. So long as you don’t mind the rain, Brünnelsumpf is a very serene place to spend a day, with plenty of dungeons to keep you busy!
