What players say

Players praise the premise of managing a political campaign in a world with werewolves, but many find the game too heavy-handed in its allegory for real-world civil rights. Some say the author dictates the player character's emotions too much, limiting agency, though fans of the genre enjoy the writing and replay value. The campaign management mechanics are the highlight, but the story is short.
