Our take on Duder
Players who need a wide variety of objectives may bounce off once the seven-note search defines the forest section. Those expecting the main mystery to resolve during exploration may also hit a wall when the game shifts into its separate additional ending section.
What is Duder?
Duder is a horror game set in a dark, dense forest.
The main section centers on finding seven notes described as vital truths while avoiding a creature that follows and obstructs the player. Each discovered truth makes the forest darker and Duder stronger. The game opens with an unclear introductory video and builds toward a mystery about the creature’s identity and purpose. A second section follows the forest chapter and focuses on resolving the question of which side is stronger. The ending is presented as an unusual conclusion to the story, revealing the meaning of the truths and the answer to the central riddle.
