Our take on Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest
Its defining structure is the way decisions alter Rage, Willpower, and Health, then use those changes to reshape available actions, later choices, and the world’s presentation.
What is Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest?
Follow Maia as she travels to Poland’s Białowieża Forest to investigate her family history and uncover concealed truths.
The narrative explores local folklore, traditions, and the conflict between nature, technology, and greed across the Polish-Belarusian borderlands. Choices produce consequences that alter three character attributes—Rage, Willpower, and Health—which affect available actions, future choices, and how the world is presented. The game adapts the Werewolf: The Apocalypse tabletop roleplaying system into a computer adventure, with collage-style visuals combining drawn characters and photographs of real locations. Maia’s decisions also shape the game’s interpretation of what kind of werewolf she becomes.
