Game Overview
A werewolf hunt through Ireland’s fogbound mountains gives this interactive novel a grim, personal edge. Eight years after a brutal encounter with the Beast of Glenkildove claims the life of someone close to you, old trauma and fractured memories drag you back to Wicklow for answers. The setting belongs to the World of Darkness, so every isolated pub, rural road, and hidden glen carries the threat of something inhuman watching from the dark. It is a choice-driven horror story built around paranoia, vengeance, and the question of how much humanity a hunter can keep.
Reading, choosing, and living with the consequences form the heart of the experience. Your hunter investigates leads, questions suspicious allies, studies supernatural threats, and decides whether a monster deserves a bullet, a cage, a bargain, or careful documentation. Preparations matter: craft weapons and traps, improve equipment, establish a defensible safehouse at the Wolf’s Head Inn, and train a wolfhound that can become a valuable partner in the field. Character choices extend beyond combat, allowing you to define your identity, build friendships or romances across genders and species, and shape your approach to the Hunt through diplomacy, expertise, brutality, or caution.
The Beast of Glenkildove stands out by treating monster hunting as a messy social problem rather than a simple sequence of fights. Several factions offer help with strings attached, including religious extremists, occult researchers, criminals, and a secretive biotech firm, while your oldest companions may have motives of their own. Its entirely text-based format leaves the action to imagination, but also gives the story room for substantial role-playing and divergent moral decisions. Fans of Choice of Games-style interactive fiction, World of Darkness lore, and investigative supernatural horror will find a focused, replayable tale here, while newcomers can enjoy it without needing deep familiarity with the setting.
