About the game
Get ready to enter Lupravia, a land where the beauty of snowy mountains hides terrible dangers and misty swamps. This is no leisurely stroll: you are in a cursed land, haunted by restless dead and monsters lurking around every corner. The situation is even worse because you aren't just a visitor; after a brutal attack, you've begun to succumb to the beast within. Now, you're racing against time to find a cure for your lycanthropy before the next full moon transforms you permanently into a monster.

Howl of the Werewolf blends the immersive storytelling of gamebooks with the tension of a combat and exploration system. You are the protagonist of this story, and every decision could mean life or death. To survive, you'll need strategy, courage, and, of course, a bit of luck with the dice. The game utilizes dice-rolling mechanics to resolve encounters and grid movement to navigate this hostile world.

Whether playing through a campaign or tackling specific missions, the experience focuses on survival and discovery. The tension rises with every page and every roll as you fight to avoid losing yourself to madness. With the addition of detailed miniatures (like the werewolves that bring terror to the table), the immersion is complete. Can you resist the call of the beast, or will you become just another howl echoing through the dark forests of Lupravia? Grab your pencil, your eraser, and prepare for the hunt!
