Greetings, gamers! I’m Piotr, the marketing guy for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest. I want to tell you how our game happens to be “the first-ever” in more than one respect.
What’s Heart of the Forest, you ask? It’s a narrative adventure game based on the tabletop role-playing game Werewolf: The Apocalypse. This legendary title is set in a mystical version of our world, where werewolves are our Mother Nature, our Gaia, our protectors.
In our game, you play as Maia, a young American woman searching for clues about her family in the last primeval forest of Central Europe. What she doesn’t know is that she’s walking right into the middle of a conflict between forces beyond her understanding.
This is not only a cool story, inspired by real events, that we had a chance to tell, but also…
1. The first-ever Werewolf: The Apocalypse video game
It’s quite amazing that Werewolf: The Apocalypse, a cult tabletop RPG system, has never had any video game adaptation. There are Vampire: The Masquerade games, which share the same World of Darkness universe, but no Werewolf titles (apart from one canceled attempt that you can still Google called Heart of Gaia). To be honest, we can hardly remember any game where you are the classic wolfman. The ancient Gabriel Knight or Altered Beast, maybe?
At the moment, there are TWO Werewolf: The Apocalypse titles in production (the other one being Cyanide Interactive’s Earthblood). Still, our game will have the privilege of being the first official World of Darkness Werewolf game ever. We realize how important this title is, so we made sure to include everything that made the system special in the first place.
