A downloadable game

An RPG about minimum wage werewolves. The world beats you down by day and you deliver the beats to evil by night.

Werewolves are cursed to hunt. The curse gave you the strength to take everything you ever wanted. But you've chosen a better path. The nightmare curse drives you to hunt, but it doesn't care what you hunt. So you and your pack are hunting the other monsters of the night.

By day you survive dead-end jobs and investigate rumours. By night you hunt the monsters you found, drag them into the nightmare and kill them in a climactic action sequence.

The core fantasy of the game is that evil exists and you get to punch it in the throat. And that werewolves are awesome.

Features:

  • 99 pages, fully illustrated.
  • Survive daytime antagonists like landlords, police, doctors and your boss.
  • Hunt other werewolves, ghosts, fearmongers and worse.
  • Places and people for the default setting of Bridgemary, a thoroughly un-aspirational fictional town in Britain, untouched by wealth or prosperity.
  • Reynard.
  • Random generators for your day and nighttime looks, street names and places.
  • A handy one-page crash-course that covers what the game's about and how the mechanics work - use it as a pitch-sheet for curious players, or a handout on game night.

This might literally be the best kept secret on itch.io. This game fucking slaps

There's so much to love here, the fact that something this good isn't more well known is staggering to me. That it's available for free is also just, I don't have words. The writing, the artwork, the layout - there isn't a single thing lacking.

Games like these are why I spend a few minutes of each day on itch.io looking at the TTRPGs recently released: because every now and then, I come across such incredible nuggets as this one. Get that: the author of this game, in which you play as werewolves fighting against the minimum wage during the day and against big monsters at night, decided that it wasn't polished enough to get paid for it, so he released it for free... When I see the quality of its layout, the beauty of its illustrations imitating 1920s woodcuts, its twelve story ideas per page, its simple and elegant mechanics, its slick advice on game mastering, I can't tell myself anything else than this: this is an absolute *banger* and it's almost a shame not to give its author any money!!
