Our take on Werewolves: Haven Rising
The text-only format concentrates the experience on choices, character identity, and narrative consequences, but gives up graphics and sound effects. That trade-off suits readers who supply the visual atmosphere themselves, while limiting the game’s audiovisual presentation.
What is Werewolves: Haven Rising?
A 285,000-word branching fiction places the protagonist among lycanthropes confined to Haven, a state-run camp where they must reside and labor.
An assignment sends them toward a prohibited military installation, and its consequences draw armed authorities, extremist werewolves, and the possibility of open conflict into the story. Decisions shape alliances and outcomes, including whether to resist or join a leader advocating war, train as a warrior, shadow, or sage, and kill opponents or spare them. The narrative also includes a probe into an anti-werewolf fanatic, multiple romance paths, and options for male, female, or nonbinary characters with gay, straight, or bisexual orientations. The experience uses written text alone, with no visual presentation or audio effects.
