How it feels

You stalk enemies from rooftops and shadows, planning stealthy kills and vertical ambushes while avoiding deadly attacks.

What players say

Players praise the concept of playing as a mechanical werewolf but agree the execution is rough. Combat feels janky, controls are unintuitive, performance is poor, and the game is very short. Many consider it a promising student project that never got the polish of a full release.
