Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times. A sinister "howling plague" has ravaged the land, turning all who hear it into feral beasts. You play a deaf heroine plunging into danger in search of a cure.

Plan up to six steps in advance to outmaneuver your opponents: wolfish creatures filled with hunger and rage. Various types of fiends are lurking in the shadows, each of them possessing different abilities and their own levels of vitality. So, you need to consider carefully the strategy that will bring them to their knees.

Not only do you have your wits to rely on while plotting your attack, you also have an array of abilities at your disposal. As you slay more wolves, you acquire skills like Vault, Smoke Bomb, and Piercing Shot. Venture forth on your journey to upgrade your skills and unlock more Action Slots and Undo Round Points. As you plan your moves, you will also shape your own prophecy, composing a dynamic work of scripture as you fight.

Howl's visuals are created through "living ink", a flowing art style that paints the story as you play. Carve your way through a dark, fairy-tale world made up of obscure yet magical places where you fight and write to rid the lands of the plague.

Ratings and reviews

So far from the demo it's good! I can't buy it so that's a bummer but best of luck to this game! I love these strategy games. The voice isn't distracting or out of place from the board and it also provides help in case one needs it, which is thoughtful. I don't know what goes past the demo so it could be bad or repetitive later on, I won't ever know, but it's very nice. Well made!

A beautiful puzzle game about werewolves :D Definitely worth the few dollars. An enjoyable puzzle game with a neat story in the background, and the puzzle mechanics were just understandable enough to make you feel like you earned each level won. I wish there was more endgame content or something special for 100% completion, but even without those things it's pretty great!

So, I am changing the entire review after a few hours of playtrough. This game is one of the most fun games, that I have ever played. The game mechanics are not exactly described, but that's the fun process learning them and you can still read them by holding the thing, that you want to know about. One thing that I would love is zooming in between levels and the option to return back all confidence to make other variations of upgrades. And I would love to see other games with this mechanic. 5*
