In Loup Garou, you step into the shoes of a mage's apprentice on a perilous quest: to find a rare three-horned slug for your master, Theodocred. But the night holds unexpected dangers, and early in your journey through the forest, you are attacked and transformed into a werewolf! Now, with this new and terrible condition, you'll have to face werewolf hunters, your first transformation, and a host of other unforeseen challenges. You choose your specialty – thief, wizard, or barbarian – and your decisions will guide your path in this narrative comic book adventure. The game is a fusion of comic book storytelling with game elements, part of the 'The comic in which you are the hero' series. You embody a character in an immersive plot where every choice you make determines the story's direction. A character sheet, similar to those in role-playing games, helps you track your possessions, money, and victory points. Gameplay involves following the comic panels, which contain clues, riddles, and traps, and making decisions about where to go and what to do. Your visual perception and intelligence will be crucial for gathering information and solving mysteries. Be prepared, as failure is a real possibility, and sometimes, quite painful!
