    Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest Review

    Starting in a dreamlike state, you move through a forest that calls to you while also pushing you away. It's dark and unknown, but at the same time feels eerily familiar. You're immediately thrust into the mystery that'll follow you throughout Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest, and it's that introduction that set it apart from the previously released visual novel-style games in the World of Darkness Series.

    Adapting TTRPG's into digitized computer games is becoming increasingly popular and for a good reason. Regardless of quarantines and social distancing, putting together a group that's able to run a full TTRPG campaign is difficult, it takes time and not everyone is interested in the roleplay aspects of the games. That being said, table-tops are known for their wordiness and complexity. When set across multiple play sessions, this isn't a problem, but put into a bite-size game you can run into some issues. Heart of the Forest manages to balance its tabletop origins and visual novel style relatively well.

    [...]

    Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel and I wouldn't say it's genre-defining, but it still manages to be unique in some aspects. End game pacing issues aside, the game tells a great story and offers enough choices that I never felt slighted. Even the small option of choosing which werewolf form to shift into was nice. Heart of the Forest is a simple and easy to follow addition to the World of Darkness games but still manages to avoid becoming boring or repetitive. It's a fun, uncomplicated game and honestly, that's all I want sometimes.

    Score: 8/10
