With just RPG Maker stock material this game manages to create more atmosphere and excellent storytelling as many triple A games do proving that you don’t need a big budget or high end technology to produce a good game. This is truly 16 bit classic JRPG magic.
Positives:

captivating story that ‘sucks’ you in, you want to continue playing to discover the story
-
well written dialogues
-
well chosen soundtrack
-
no grinding necessary (enemies are visible) but people who want to grind can choose to do so

Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest
Visual novel in the World of Darkness setting with a focus on the werewolves. Good art and music with often well written and good mechanic concepts, while also rushed in every sense when it comes to learning about other characters and the setting and is over so quickly that like a lot of games that try to use stats or health they end up being pointless.
The five personality assessment options just end with the highest pushing you into a style for the last 1/3 of the game, werewolf form changes is a great idea barely used, and glory/honor/wisdom that takes over for your personality type after you become a werewolf are entirely pointless. It’s all a good system to have for a game about learning that you are a werewolf, finding a tribe, looking at situations differently based on the personality you built and characters responding differently based on what they think of you, and using your abilities in a visual novel form but you never really get to enjoy any of it. Your amount of current rage can change how your character responds to situations and willpower can be used often but I haven’t seen health be as useless in a game since Disco Elysium, it is rarely required and even if used it is easy to get back before it is needed again. You spend so little time with most characters and depending on your route some of the likes and dislikes really just won’t matter at all and the way in which your actions can completely change police and journalists views is particularly ridiculous. With all the minor changes that can happen there is the usual few events or dialogue lines that don’t really make sense and some being quite impossible when it seemed to imply a dead guy showed up. It’s kind of strange in some series of events that it still seems to consider the main human guy to be a friend of yours.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest is a creepy and dark visual-novel adventure with choice-based consequences that allow for multiple branching paths and outcomes. The story is quite well written and the flow works pretty well. The many situations that develop differently based on the player’s actions and also accrued statistics will give this game the replay value that it needs despite having a relatively short story that will vary on your reading speed and choices. My first run through took around 3 hours, and I imagine that replaying some sections I might be speeding through some sections trying to see all of the possible paths and endings. I have yet to do that kind of exploration to know just how dramatic the outcomes will be of course.

Werewolves: Haven Rising
Got to say that I love this game.
You can choose turn your wolf into many types:
• A brutal killing machine where you kill every human you meet
• A more stealthy wolf where you fight from the shadows
• A pacifist where you use non-violent actions or don’t attack humans
The above types will probably help you choose if you want to aid in all out war or try and be peacefull with the humans. However the humans do view you a slaves and you currently have very few rights. It’s up to you if you want to fight to be free or be more clever and play the long game and try to slowly ebb away at the humans control.

The game would be fine if the authored hadn’t been so focused on soaking it in emotional soy boy political correctness. The gist of the book is this: You’re a werewolf born into the forced human captivity of your once proud pack. Under this premise, you’re given option to be a peaceful, academic or feral leader.
For me– My pack being oppressed by the humans angred me and I sought revoloution by force, hoping not for utter genocide but all too willing to put any who would attempt to violate our territory or our people to the fangs & claws. The problem with this path is I built my character to be a detached battle ready Alpha and yet the writer keeps projecting their own feelings of regret and inner struggle onto me everytime I make a non-pc choice.

Sang-Froid - Tales of Werewolves
Easily one of the best and most unique games I’ve have ever encountered.
+Well crafted role-playing elements
+Best skill tree I’ve seen in years
+Amazing sound track
+Immense freedom with strategy
+Complete new genre
-Worst voice acting in a game I’ve ever heard (And I like the english VA in S.T.A.L.K.E.R)
-Terrible story. Just skip it. Like, wow.
I first saw this game years ago and thought it was focusing its efforts too much on being some try-hard, weird niche game. I was wrong.
Sang-Froid creates a whole new genre with a sophisticated collaboration of roleplaying, strategy and action.

A very canadian game about two lumberjack brothers who must protect their fevered sister from hordes of wolves send by the devil.
And then things get weird…
This game could be called a “Strategic Trap Defense Game” in spite of “Orcs Must Die!”, only much more slow-paced. The gameplay is split in two parts:
1. The Strategy part: This is where you place your traps on a strategic map of the in-game location and take preperations for the night to come. The map shows you what enemies will appear, where they appear and which route they take. There’s a variety of different weapons, items and accessoires you can buy in the shops that will help you to survive and you can change your loadout as you like. There are, of course, limitations in form of Action Points and Money. Every trap costs a different amount of Money and AP and once you run out of one (or both), you have to get along with what you prepared. There’s also a Skill-Tree. Each time you level up you gain a skill point which can be used to further advance your traps or abilities in combat.

Werewolves 2: Pack Mentality
So, this the second chapter. A chapter I have only ventured… 3 times? Each continuation was based off old saves from the original. (Why cant we save yet in chapter 2? I just had the most unexpected twist and I cant save it for the next installment! Please Fix?)
This story is impressive… ESPECIALLY if you muddle through the first one enough. ( That is key.)
At first it seemed monotonous, the jail, escape, and continue… But then I went back to the first chapter and changed circumstances… It was then that so many things changed.

The sequel I was hoping it would be! So many book and game sequels don’t stick the landing, but this one avoided most of the common pitfalls:
-
The choices from the first game carry over and matter. This is the most important one, and the author nailed it.
-
There were something like 6 or 7 different endings in book 1, and all of them that I’ve tried so far have several unique pages and choices here before they link up for the main story. Good for replayability.
-
The relationships are just as good as before. (Love that Bly got a lot of attention in this one. I really liked her relationship in the first game, and she gets a lot of time to develop here.)

Eville
Betray your friends- and lie your way to victory. In the multiplayer social deduction game Eville you find yourself in a village riddled by a series of murders. Some say it might have been you - or was it? Convince others you’re not a murderer to stay alive!
Inspired by popular social-deduction party games such as Werewolves this is a new take on the concept with realtime gameplay and interaction. Take on the role of a Villager or Conspirator and do your deeds when no one is watching. Place wards to observe other players or tread through the village to visit any house and go on a killing spree. It is your task to communicate with other players and prove your innocence. Use your unique role abilities to your advantage and make sure your team survives.
Devious murders are taking place in the once peaceful village of Eville. Each day the Villagers can decide on suspects and execute them until all evil-doers are found. Each night however the Conspirators gather and decide to murder another innocent Villager until they take over the village. You play as a random role and have no idea who is on your side. Use your abilities and social skills to find out!
Objective: Stay alive and discover the conspirators!

Rich discord integration (coming soon)
We take the community’s input very seriously. Listening to the feature requests and feedback from our fans is important to us, that’s why fans can have a direct line to us, via our discord community channel; where they’ll be able to discuss the development of Eville with us. Quite often game developers suffer from tunnel-vision, and we’re no exception. Having a springboard to bounce ideas back and forth with, can be quite refreshing. At the end of the day, our goal is to create a fun experience, and having the community’s direct feedback is essential to this process.

Wolflord - Werewolf Online
Wolflord has taken up my time as the only social deduction based game that I play to this day.
I started out in this genre making content on other SD games for a long time, and although I put a lot of hours into those games and wanted to enjoy them, various things would continuously turn me away. I can say that Wolflord has never been that way for me.
The game itself has a slightly different format to your more popular SD games, where “copy paste last will’s” is what the game revolves around. However, this game focuses more on actual deduction rather than simply reading out a players' will and determining whether that information is correct based on shared knowledge. Every phase of the game feels important, and compliments the day/night cycle as a whole very well. Roles are very well thought out, and while some are favoured over others, I can say that I never truly feel like I ever get cast as a “useless” or “boring” role with this game.

Keep in mind this game is still in beta at the time I am writing this, so it is still early and the community is niche, but their Discord is active and a good way to gather games if you’re looking for more games without having to add so many bots. I’m sure as time goes on after getting out of beta, Town of Salem and Throne of Lies players may migrate over here. The game itself is very interesting, you can set your own role list based on the class cards/rules cards so the possibilities are endless, AND it even indicates how balanced between factions the setup is, which you don’t exactly see in Town of Salem custom lobbies. But yes, I do see potential in this game and intend to add it to my social deduction streaming repertoire and look forward to helping build the community. Very much recommended.

Werewolves Within™
Werewolves Within has a cross-platform player community that’s best described as about two dozen people, most of them Playstation users. Occasionally there are waves of new players that filter in, which then slowly attrition away. Peak times are in the late evening, US time. Any other time and there’s often no one playing at all. Paying attention to the lobby tracker at werewolflobbies.com is a necessity as 6 players is the minimum needed to do more than sit and stare at each other.
The community itself is cliquish and fairly toxic. A handful experienced players will dogmatically expect everyone to conform to a narrow meta-strategy of play (that naturally tilts the playing field in their favor), and the more aggressive ones will badger and kick anyone that doesn’t comply.
– Real player with 115.7 hrs in game
Like others have said, this is similar to Town of Salem. The game gets a lot of flack because at times it can be difficult to find a lobby. I mostly play on the weekends around 8:30PM (EST) and rarely have a problem getting a full lobby.
The previous reviews are correct that the community is small and there’s a good chance that you’ll be in matches with the same people, but I have to contest the claims that the community is toxic. Have I met people who were toxic and not fun to play with? Sure. But the amount of people who genuinely enjoy this game and are fun to play with far outnumber them. Most people I meet are welcoming of newcomers because they understand the community is small and driving away new people won’t make that better.
