Werewolf: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names

Shapeshifter. Mystic. Hero. Monster. You are a werewolf, and you are all these things. Werewolves are the living earth’s last guardians, created by Gaia, given the gift of shifting between human and wolf forms, and called to stop humanity from destroying the world. Yet you have failed. Pollution chokes the cities and mad spirits rampage through the wild places. You swore to protect Gaia, but the werewolves turned on each other, slaughtered their allies, fell into despair or mad Rage. You are one of the few who remember the oaths you swore to the living earth - which has made you an exile. But rather than surrender to despair, you have sworn to uncover the secrets of a defiled land and fight the Apocalypse. The Stormcat, once the Patron Spirit of a thriving community of werewolves, has called upon you to rebuild that shattered pack. In the savage woods and decaying cities of New England, you will forge your own legend. “Werewolf: The Apocalypse — The Book of Hungry Names“ is an interactive novel by Kyle Marquis set in the World of Darkness. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Build Your Pack: Human and werewolf survivors haunt the woods and hide in the cities: find them to learn what happened and to rebuild the werewolf nation. But not all werewolves can be trusted: shun those wolves consumed by Rage, and pity those who have lost the Wolf and become empty shells. Survive the Wilds: A desperate exile, shunned by those who have abandoned their oaths to Gaia, you’ll have to survive by your wits. A winter night can kill as surely as any monster: find shelter, seek allies among spirits and humans, and learn how far you’ll go to survive. Unleash Your Rage: You are one of Gaia’s monsters, a living weapon, herald of vengeance and death. Now the Apocalypse is here: wield your Rage with savage cunning and keen discretion, or it will swallow you whole. • Play as male, female, or nonbinary; befriend or romance werewolves and humans of all genders. • Shapeshift among five forms to slaughter your enemies, or outwit them to take what you need. • Choose your auspice (moon-sign) and your werewolf tribe to learn what sort of monster you are. • Claim your territory and heal the spirits there to unlock Gifts that let you summon animals, control the elements, or enter the spirit world. • Face mutated monsters and corrupt spirits in the dark woods and decaying factory towns of rural New England.
