Introducing the Santa Costume 🎅 and the Krampus Costume 👹—now available in Dungeons of Hinterberg! 🎅 Santa Costume: Spread the Joy! Step into the boots of the jolliest figure of all time! Feel the warmth of the season as you spread cheer (and maybe the occasional sword swing) across the slopes and dungeons. Did you know? Santa Claus has origins in folklore as Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Greek bishop known for his generosity and miracles. Over the centuries, this figure blended with other winter traditions to become the Santa we know today—full of festive magic and good will! 👹 Krampus Costume: Embrace Your Dark Side! For those of you who prefer a more... mischievous approach to the holidays, the Krampus Costume is here to channel your inner trickster. With twisted horns, fur-lined robes, and a menacing grin, you’ll be the fearsome folkloric legend of Hinterberg! Krampus, the horned creature of Alpine folklore, was said to punish naughty children during the festive season, often depicted as the shadowy counterpart to Saint Nicholas. With roots in pre-Christian traditions, Krampus represents the dark side of winter—where the line between celebration and chaos blurs. How to Unlock the Costumes: Both costumes are available to purchase in the shop. No grinding required and you’ll be ready to strut your holiday style in no time.

Hello Adventurers! We’re back with a brand new Hinterblog, and as promised in our recent Hinterblog – Biome Break Down! we’re diving deeper into the dungeons! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeWxmdzl2b3VzZzNqODM2cXpmbHRnb3BqanpmaGp6dWtxOTN3dnBtbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/B2TQagOLTFWRREFvZf/giphy.gif Ok maybe not diving, more like a steady decent 🤫 8487328801 “Dungeons of Hinterberg” is one big spoiler, yes we can confirm there are in fact dungeons, and yes they are located in a place called Hinterberg. Insert mind blown emoji am I right? Ok, now that we have that one big revelation out the way, worry not our spoiler avoiding adventurers, throughout this blog we’ll be focussing on elements of dungeons found in the early section of the game and won’t reveal any story plots. Back in Hinterblog – What is Hinterberg, we talked about how Hinterberg is a new tourism spot attracting adventurers and tourists from all over the world. In fact, some call it the ultimate slaycation. Wow, what a word, whoever came up with that deserves a raise, but why do they call it a slaycation? I’m glad you asked! Dungeons are “the” go to attraction for our visitors in Hinterberg. Yes, there are plenty of beautiful places to visit, activities to enjoy, people to meet, all adding to your slaycation, but dungeons are your chance to conquer your fears, put your puzzle solving prowess to the test, and slay some mysterious monsters. “Sounds like a challenge, I’m in!” I love your enthusiasm! 25 dungeons have appeared throughout Hinterberg and the overworlds within, but how do you enter them? https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExamY0MG82ZmN5OHFkNHpqaWd3dWViano2OWRoYmF3NjN0bjhiaWl4cyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Nhkcprdra4RaN5fyYf/giphy.gif Portals are your doorway to each dungeon Magical portals have appeared across Hinterberg, you’ll find them as you explore the four overworlds! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZHYwOXQzNXpmN2xtemM5N2ltaG1ydmFmZjNqNHJtZzg0ZmV1cW9mNSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/E67mip1NM93o55pFi1/giphy.gif Are you ready? Finding dungeons will be a challenge, and you may find you lack the strength to take on some. You’re free to leave overworlds and come back when you’re ready. Dungeons are going to throw many challenges your way, and depending on the overworld you’re in, you’ll rely on specific skills which you’ll acquire on your journey to defeat them. Not only will you be faced with magical monsters of varying difficulty, you’ll be faced with a series of puzzles that you’ll need to solve in order to progress though each dungeon. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeXB4b3p5dDhhdWZjajl3a3NzejgxMXhyMXh1NW1jMGxkemt5MmpjaSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/78GkxJPahmGZqhHVwF/giphy-downsized-large.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNGp4eG52eTYxNG51a3E5bmU1N3F1cHltbXQycTRmanh1NzEwbGIyYyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/F31exvA1s9mXXFQkNq/giphy-downsized-large.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZnZvY2xjdjJ3ODJkbW8ybXBnYjhyZ2d2Ynhhc3Z0azFqMDAydjFyMiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/4HE9ZIk5DBAIiuh3jY/giphy-downsized-large.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbWEzd3FoemRkc3QyNjV4cDlwczdxcG83M2o2YTlyYnQ4dDk5a3F4ZyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/kxjlEwoGAKe5ZIwBcJ/giphy-downsized-large.gif Dungeons are not to be taken lightly, be careful as you fight your way through, you never know what kind of dangers are waiting around each corner. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeTBld2FpYXBweW04bWp0cTU3NGxraGl4Y201N3prYW9oOG5qbDdlbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/pJPUypej3PgQgRBVXj/giphy-downsized-large.gif Weee!

You didn’t think you’d get an easy ride did you? “Wow that sounds like a lot of hard work, what do I get for doing all that?” At the end of each dungeon you’ll find a Stamp Station. Make sure you stamp your book otherwise the exit portal won’t open, and you’ll want this to show off to all the locals and your friends and show them how many dungeons you’ve conquered and just how awesome you are! Oh one last thing, dungeons have loot, so it would be wise to explore! You may come across certain chests that you can’t open just yet, but we’re sure there’s someone in the village who could probably help with that... https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdjY3YXFncXpheGs5aWNrbDJ3NDdlcjdyNjIzMmpqZWpzdGJkaWtzYiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/wg9LTgj5XKuTh8aq3q/giphy.gif Right, book stamped!

Ooo mysterious! Firstly, in case you missed it, we announced at this year's IGN Fan Fest that we’ll be launching Dungeons of Hinterberg this summer! We’re incredibly excited to welcome our first visitors, and our Hinterberg Tourism Board put together a new trailer to get you into the slaycation spirit! As you saw in the trailer, there’s four overworlds you’ll be exploring in Hinterberg, in fact, we did a little break down on these in our latest Hinterblog – Biome Break Down! https://media.giphy.com/media/76Va5LgCufi8IUlL18/giphy.gif Want to know more about some of the things you’ll get up to in Hinterberg?

Hello Adventurers! 🤫 3188316972 In our first Hinterblog “What is Hinterberg”, we alluded to the fact you’ll be visiting 4 overworlds on your slaycation, and as promised, we're taking a closer look at those today! Not too close though, we want you to come visit and explore all the secrets on your own terms! Each overworld has a unique biome, and each location includes a Skill Shrine. Skill Shrines are peculiar objects that can bestow magical skills upon you if you know the magic word of course. Magic skills will be necessary to help you traverse through that particular overworld, and for solving puzzles, especially in that region’s dungeons! Oh and, of course, you can use your newly acquired skills in combat too! https://media.giphy.com/media/NC8bhyjPfx9Q2ypH7L/giphy-downsized-large.gif Just say the magic word https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExajk0ZzJ0MXl3cng1d2hxYzh2YTEzeHRrdHZ3NTRlaDg5Y2MxdjFxdSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/LIOrJCs3T20otmM6y8/giphy-downsized-large.gif Magic skills will help you overcome obstacles and puzzles https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNWlyeTRpN3d6YTN6ZXEzZ3VtZDhxMmRlNDJia3F2cG03dGEwaHp0bSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/K5uUySm5fQffz5UFHw/giphy-downsized-large.gif C-C-C-C-Combo! Your blade paired with your magic skills will get you out of sticky situations Speaking of dungeons, you’ll find several in each overworld, some harder to find and conquer than others. We’ll talk more about those in a future Hinterblog, but for now, let’s take a look at our first Overworld! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExa2dyZ21ycXBubXVmdXhrM25rdTJoZnlpZm55Z2ZidDFkZXByYjl4NCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/2LdKQoFqoSDTDi7p6R/giphy-downsized-large.gif Doberkogel A sunny and lush mountain overworld with beautiful scenery, a lake, streams and waterfalls, and expansive vistas. Explore the labyrinth of mountain pines or meditate in a meadow, or hike to the top, but beware of the dungeon way up there! We highly recommend speaking to fellow tourists and the locals, as some may offer useful tips and suggestions, like which areas you should explore. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNm5sM2dkNWo5bjRoMWlnZjg5bmttbWYzMjFsNHA1YXNvaHZhbmhyaSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/nZQkuZhGMvQnRwyeWO/giphy-downsized-large.gif Marina at Kiddie Land always puts a smile on our face https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdjVtOWxsM294ZDJtbW8yMnZkN2JsaDNoZmVoaGxmZHhmM2psYWYzYSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/l1XhxsG1jplORwD3Ps/giphy-downsized-large.gif What, did you think you’d just casually walk everywhere? https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExc3Z0bXpkNHpvMno0a2plN2w0bTk2Y2tnczlqaW85bjhpMzRsZGhvbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/PM7LYtfj9ADttYBqSE/giphy-downsized-large.gif Skills can help you on the path to loot! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdzI1aTRpcmo4NDVhMWMwb2ExMmI3NmEyZ2k2cGIxYjVvYmYxbmxwNCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Fu4DXaZm12Wbfwzq5E/giphy-downsized-large.gif The overworlds hold many secrets… but those are for you to find on your own We hope you're wearing your thermals because it’s about to get chilly! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNnJ1djVueThlcjVqem9saHM5ODdvNWVxMHJ2NWRlZXFqM2dpbWdhOCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/jCktKA8yVCXVZZgttl/giphy-downsized-large.gif Kolmstein A shimmering glacier overworld, with magical ice caves, crevasses, passes, and vast vistas. Meditate at a viewpoint, take a chairlift to the highest peaks, and hover your way on a magical snowboard through this enchanting overworld. It's a challenge to traverse mountains on foot (due to all that snow you see…) So one of the first things you’ll do in Kolmstein is acquire a skill that lets you conjure up a magical hoverboard! Pretty cool right? https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNmVqOHl0M3BkbGpsbW5zYXVyMDk3YmQwYXdleWtlejByZ3ozZXc5MyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Q783aFqnatCrX1Nmz0/giphy-downsized-large.gif In Kolmstein, there are several environmental challenges that you’ll need to overcome to explore further. For example, magical rails will help you get around, but you may need to prove yourself to activate them. Regina and Philipp who we met in our “Meet the Microbird Team!” blog show us how it’s done! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbTZiOXE5bmtidG9zeXliaWo2bjZjMGxoYWZ1azllenl0NG8xM3QxcyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/KE3MvznSNGKRNMsBGk/giphy-downsized-large.gif Another challenge?

You’re free to leave overworlds at any time (or not even visit on certain days!). You can always come back when you feel ready. While you explore, you’ll come across these handy map boards. These boards will allow you to fast travel to other areas within the overworld you’re currently visiting. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdzVoOTVjaDNtdmZlNXFhMzd0cjhrbDNyMTg3MmE5ZzBrZzV5aDJ5eCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/aQq7m6LLcTqoyg0Red/giphy-downsized-large.gif Alright, we’re onto our final overworld! We’ve recently opened this up to the public, and we’ve prepared a short promo! Welcome to Brünnelsumpf! A marshy swamp overworld that showcases the beauty of the wetlands. Constant rain does not detract from this biome’s quiet beauty, and you can meditate in a sheltered corner away from the wind. Take a kayak to visit all the different islands and solve puzzles. Lighthouses can help you on your way… To find out more about Brünnelsumpf, visit our Store Page where we’re broadcasting a prerecorded playthrough!

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! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExd2x4cWFpZ2tpaHMwenBjZnZhdnQwYXNpbGQ2dnExZWw0dTkwbmR3NCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/prk5oksybs0gyq8bYY/giphy-downsized-large.gif 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! 🤫 8300731591 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. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeWg3amFpcW5lcHZsM2VzbmQzeGZuZmY2eHA5ZGtwcjZpcGJuYWFiciZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/TqEsFDkXKdKwMHhdKg/giphy.gif 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. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExOHJqNzhnZjZuZjdhOWR6emhnMjQ4MGRkMTdicWZoamo1dHZpZGdtbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/faezK3aSQau8uIYBAj/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExam93cWdkaHJlOGdua25uNmUxZ2w2cmlwZmZrc3lnbmVhZXU0enQwdCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/BDq7HzyNqDzfmZ1WBQ/giphy.gif Read more on some of the activities that will make your vacation memorable in our “Relaxing in Hinterberg” blog 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. https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYXJjeXltY2lucXFydmhjbDhrbDZiaTRwd2RwejhvYWRraHc1bGlmbCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/dTbEzFnhcl21Kznntd/giphy-downsized-large.gif Find out more about some of the enemies you’ll face, in our “Hinterberg’s Monster Problem” blog https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZm1tOTFib2Fqcm82ZW45ZG9renYybGJtNDc3c2doNW41aDRtNnprNiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/AWcVMwtO3HHEli8tkU/giphy.gif Luisa approaches a Skill Shrine, wonder what she'll learn? https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeWhjZnNiYmV6Ynp5YnE3djg4NGdvbXlidHQzazg0eXNlMWpxd2MzaiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/tNLa4geJ2v1PBrXVHa/giphy-downsized-large.gif 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! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcTFlOG8za3BweXJteHEydmZmamRhOWNrbXF2NWRlMTNkNXZ4dWdkeiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/ZNe884MZ421G8PDC4g/giphy.gif 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! https://media.giphy.com/media/bVC3VFiSacs1Z6w5ZD/giphy.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/14500a30c815c0343e4f92fb968f6919c5b40fd1.png 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! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExajVibzI3YmJubHlydHQyY3ZienlsdTZtaXI2ZzBhZmRhMjExcjFtdiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Q8Gxc9fxDGhh1A5SIM/giphy-downsized-large.gif 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? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/b3f307f67af79df3624e3083cb54bbca7e4104d8.png 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! https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExa29ya2hvNTBqZ3dnaTIzbDYxZmNuNHpuOTVjdnR3YzFjYjl6bnBlcSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/87yfNgpEHExbu77kdU/giphy.gif For all things Dungeons of Hinterberg, follow us on Twitter (X), and join us on Discord.

As tonight we're all celebrating Krampusnacht in Austria, we wanted to share a closer look at a few of the monsters you'll encounter around Hinterberg, all inspired by Austria's mythology! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/21249b658c194196d4025c435729e180ae575dc4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/810fc5fc9b811656b9a344dd66ddaacc1c6bb2f9.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/0fa044cc3d9dc86bf153bcf85f299dbcd9fd2ea2.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/5b60b5f27307eae907b7333aa0bc8355f2157131.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/e0b1d8226697b6b85d8feddf54f853b2aa97d18a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/36aaf67ac2277b27bbedc34df644f4c4e9144447.png For all things Dungeons of Hinterberg, follow us on Twitter (X), and join us on Discord.

So far, we’ve told you all about the fast-paced side of Dungeons of Hinterberg: exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, being a social butterfly. But sometimes, you just need to take a step back and chill. In fact, in Hinterberg, it’s encouraged – we’re all about balance here. Relaxing is an important part of any holiday and will even make you a better slayer! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/3459719ca254d7c35ec45164b19f5ce0c79d71ff.gif In the village, you will have the opportunity to explore solo. You could take in a film at the Kino – there’s always something new to see, and certain films might even help you later in your journey… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/c3cffb1eeca18ed8f2fdc8aa9bd5dfecda06f2bc.gif Or maybe you want to make the most of that fresh Alpine air! You could always go for a peaceful trip on the lake by renting a boat and taking in the beautiful village from afar. Or you can grab a drink and unwind on the terrace of your hotel, overlooking the village and listening to the merriment down below you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/de0db4eeb4b6ded18319f4a372547857d56bb7d6.gif Maybe you'd prefer relaxation in the classic sense and would benefit from a trip to the spa, chilling out in the hot tub! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/8e0cffa4413afd011f356e3b53e27a3700087a3e.gif There are also chances to loosen up outside of the village. If you’re deep in the forest, you might just stumble across a cosy cushion just begging you to get comfy and meditate for the afternoon! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44237016/a945e7155195c44c5418817e744c587ef1047b3c.gif We want to make sure that while you’re having the slaycation of a lifetime in Hinterberg, you’re also taking some time for yourself! This balance is just one of the ways you can become an even more remarkable slayer! 🤫 8009618251 - Twitter - Join the Discord
