The Barovia Project (Demo v1.2, free cam mode)
A downloadable Walking Sim for Windows
The Barovia Project is an unofficial (Work in Progress) fan recreation of a part of Barovia, fully explorable in first person view.
Disclaimer! This is a very early version of the Project, there is nothing to do apart from hicking your way up to the castle at the moment. There are still a lot of placeholders, bugs, and many rough and/or empty areas. We will be improving the experience over time.
(Note that the Project will stay free, but donations are always welcome, and will be reinjected into the project's development. Please make sure it runs well on your machine before donating!)

I love it! Absolutely appreciate the time and effort going into this. I'm running Curse of Strahd at the moment and this helps a lot with getting a basic grip of the land. As someone who works with Blender already this really makes me want to try my hand at Unreal.
Thank you for your comment PuddiPat! :D
I'm getting this error message when I try to load it. Am I missing something?
Sorry this is happening to you. It's hard to say what is wrong, we need some more info. Hop on to our discord, we'll do our best.

I can't join the discord either. I open the link over and over on multiple devices. It just opens discord, but not a specific server.
Damn, sorry for the delay. Try this link maybe?

Absolutely incredible. The feeling, the scenery, I truly appreciate the hardwork and dedication that this took brother. I'll be DMing CoS after my group finishes Rime of the Frostmaiden and now I'm just so much more excited to play. Cant wait to see all the incredible things you do with this!
Thanx a lot Wemoton!! :D
So excited about this! Is there any chance it will work for Mac computers one day?
Thank you friend. We will try and port it to Mac in the near future. Stay tuned for more info!
This is awesome work, will def donate some asap. Might this be a game ill surely gonna buy it!
Thank you!!
Amazing, but could have some settings. Like for example volume which is abismal for me on default. Also I don't like motion blur in video games.
I reckon I dont like motion blur either, will look into it soon. About the volume everything seems fine globally, but will check too. Thanx for the input!
This is really amazing work! I look forward to sharing this with my players! One note- the weather cycles might be tuned to not allow sunshine, to keep with the rules of Barovia. I'm not sure how it's programmed currently but during my walkabout, it cycled into a bright sunny day
Thanx for your words mate! Actually, you got pretty "lucky" to get a sunny day, as the odds for it to happen are pretty low. But a free-look and weather mode is planned for the next update, so you'll be able to choose your time and weather settings!
Hey! I really enjoyed this, I think you captured the setting's atmosphere perfectly while still having everything feel realistic.
I create fantasy music (Usually ambient) and would love to provide or compose some compelling, yet unobtrusive tracks that could play while people explore Barovia to help set the tone. I use both live and Midi instruments.
If you're interested here is a link to some of my work.

Regardless, I wish the best of luck with this project,

Hey Orctimus! Thank you for your words, they're really appreciated! :)
And thanx for sharing your music! I will listen to it as soon as I can. For the moment we kinda have an ost, but who knows, I may need some ambient tracks in the future. Will get back to you soon.
Thanx again for your interest mate! :D
Thanks! Yes I recognized Travis's work on the title screen. He's fantastic.
Such an amazing experience to walk around Barovia!! Thank you for putting together this wonderful creation!
Thank you very much Sir! 🤗
great game and I liked the atmosphere although it was empty because of being WIP I still enjoyed it. Overall i would say that you improve the shadows would definitely add to the environment. Although I'm no game reviewer.
Thank you for your comments! There is still much to do indeed!
Even though the game isn't completed, I played the game to take a look and the wonderful design of the landscape and environment of Barovia. I found the design of the locations and the surroundings of the game to be stunning, creepy at times and cool at the same time. My game definitely lagged due to the amazing graphics of the game but the game makes me wonder about what is the plan for this game to scare the players and what will be the driving force behind the main character, exploring Barovia. Will be looking forward to more updates for the game in the future! :)
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
Thanx for your comments and for featuring the project Dragon on your channel man! Really appreciated!
Actually the Project is meant as a visual aid for Dungeon Masters for their games, or just to experiment the sights and sounds of Barovia. We plan to flesh it out further with wildlife, more p.o.i, wildlife, collectibles, etc...
Stay tuned for more! :D
