Hinterblog #1 - What is Hinterberg?
Dungeons of Hinterberg is a single player ARPG with social simulation elements, that takes you on a vacation to the Austrian Alps.
25 magical dungeons have appeared around the village of Hinterberg attracting adventurers and tourists from all over the world, some describing it as the ultimate slaycation!
You’ll be playing as Luisa, a burnt-out law trainee taking a break from her fast-paced corporate life to take on the Dungeons of Hinterberg!
We could all do with a vacation, right?
Why have the dungeons appeared? What are all those monsters? Well, that’s something you’ll have to figure out on your own, but worry not, we’re a helpful bunch here in Hinterberg! We’ve put together a guide (a tourist guide of sorts, you might say), that will give you the rundown on some activities you’ll get up to in Hinterberg!
Before we get into things, worry not you spoiler avoiding slayers. We’re not covering any story elements here. Hinterberg is something that’s best experienced by coming to stay with us.
Speaking of staying, Theresa has been hard at work at her guest house, making sure we’re ready for you when you arrive. Your room will be the start and end of your day, we’ll make sure it’s all cosy for you. Resting up is an important part of the slayer journey.
In fact, relaxation is something we highly recommend: not only does spending time out of your day for yourself present you with some beautiful views, but it also helps in building up stats that will make you a stronger slayer. You’ll find many spots you can rest up in each overworld, and if you don’t feel like leaving the village on a particular day, you could always go visit the spa.

Now that you’re all relaxed and refreshed, let’s take a look at the “slay” in slaycation. In Hinterberg, you’ll visit 4 Overworlds, each with a unique biome and its own dungeons to conquer. We’ll take a closer look at the Overworlds in an upcoming blog!
Ever since those magical dungeons appeared, these mysterious monsters have been roaming these Overworlds and the dungeons within. You’ll be armed with your trusty blade and your magical skills. Each biome includes a magical skill shrine too, granting you skills that will be useful for that particular location.
Find out more about some of the enemies you’ll face, in our “Hinterberg’s Monster Problem” blog
Luisa approaches a Skill Shrine, wonder what she'll learn?
Skill shrines offer you skills useful for your current location, like a handy hoverboard for traversing the mountains
Be prepared when heading out. If you get into trouble, you’ll have a hard time calling for help. Due to magicial interference, your phone won't work. We hear one of the locals may have an "olden day" device that works regardless of the magic interference!
Dungeons are “the” go to attraction for most of our visitors. Each dungeon will have its unique set of challenges, including puzzles to solve, and monsters to slay. At the end of each dungeon, you’ll find a stamp station which you’ll use to stamp your book, which you can show off to your friends back at the village to let them know just how many dungeons you’ve conquered! Just remember to Stamp, or else the exit portal won't activate!
On that note, we’re sure you’ll befriend many of the other tourists and locals here. In fact, if we had to give one piece of advice, it’s to get out there and meet new people. You never know who can teach you that new skill, offer you an upgrade, provide you with insight or a useful hint, or maybe someone has the key to that one particular chest you couldn’t open up there in the mountains of Kolmstein? Who knows? Well, you will – if you go and mingle!
Once you’re done for the day and you return to the village, there’s many places you can meet new people and hang out, like the Krampus Bar for example!
Or maybe you just feel like going to see a movie, what? You didn’t think we’d have a cinema, but you were fine with magical dungeons?
Activities like watching a movie can also help with your stats, which you’ll need to build to become a stronger slayer to take on more challenging dungeons. Watching a fighting movie, for example, may help increase your attack damage.
Ooof that was a lot, and we’re just getting started! There’s a lot in Hinterberg we haven’t covered today, but keep your eyes peeled! We’ll be releasing more blogs soon, diving a little deeper into the game. Until then, I think we’ll head back to our room now and get a good night's sleep!
For all things Dungeons of Hinterberg, follow us on Twitter (X), and join us on Discord.
If you’re interested in what you see, we’d love it if you’d consider adding Dungeons of Hinterberg to your Wishlist today! 😊
