Our take on Summit of the Wolf
The fantasy setting may suggest a lighter adventure, but the central subject is child abuse and its psychological effects. Ophelia's hospitalization and life-threatening injury are also central to the story, making its serious subject matter a significant part of the experience.
What is Summit of the Wolf?
Summit of the Wolf is a point-and-click narrative adventure with visual-novel elements and a graphic-novel presentation.
Ophelia, a twelve-year-old girl, wakes in an ethereal garden without knowing how she arrived. Players explore fantasy and real-world settings, meet characters, collect and use items, consult maps and journals, and solve puzzles while following her journey toward the Summit of the Wolf. A parallel storyline follows a nurse investigating Ophelia's injury while she lies in a hospital. The story addresses trauma and child abuse through Ophelia's movement from victim to survivor. The game includes more than two dozen characters, professional voice performances, an orchestral soundtrack lasting over two and a half hours, and a stated playtime of more than 10 hours.
