A story driven cryptid horror game featuring survival horror elements where you come face to face with a Midwest cryptid dubbed "the Wolfman". Play as Jane and fight to survive the full moon while uncovering dark secrets in the Wolfman's territory.
The game presents classic survival horror mechanics that drive the gameplay loop. Players must scavenge the environment for items like health packs and tools, then use these resources to solve environmental puzzles. Effective inventory management becomes crucial, as players must carefully decide how to allocate their limited supplies.
A central gameplay component involves navigating tense stalker sequences where the player must hide and avoid detection as the Wolfman monster prowls the area. Reviewers praise these sequences for building genuine fear and tension, with well-placed jump scares that catch players off-guard.
The puzzle-solving elements complement the survival horror mechanics nicely. Reviewers note that the puzzles strike a good balance, providing satisfying challenges without becoming overly difficult. Solving these puzzles breaks up the intensity of the stalker encounters, offering a sense of progression and accomplishment.
While some reviewers desired more non-linearity or opportunities for replayability, the game's focused, linear structure is generally seen as a strength. This linear progression maintains the cinematic, horror-driven experience, guiding players through a cohesive story and environment.
