You are flying through space with a crew of three. A message from the HQ reveals that one werewolf is on board. You will have to fly past a moon. In a few hours, one of you three will try to kill the others. How are you going to prepare? Who can you trust? Who will be granted to lock himself away, who will be tied up, who will be killed?
In this short game, you decide on the fate of your men. You can never tell who the werewolf is. 9 achievements give Werewolf In Space a extremely high replayability. You might be able to survive with all three men, but are you also able to give the werewolf a feast?
Thanks for playing, and it's good to hear that it works under linux. I wanted to go for werewolf in a submarine first, turns out there already is a movie about that. I hope the spaceship has a similar mood of isolation.
I really enjoyed this game. It's simple, funny and fits the theme very well. I would have liked if there was a way to tell who the werewolf was, but I guess it's part of the humor.
This was a very silly concept, executed pretty well and minimalistically. The achievements were really what made the game, getting the player to try all sorts of different ways to play. Without that, it isn't much of a game and more of a tying people up and killing them simulator, but the achievement hints give it a bit of a puzzle element.
Very nice concept! I wasn't clear what I was supposed to do at first (I just kept hitting space and then wondering why I couldn't avoid the werewolf). Once I realized that I had to move and solve the puzzle first, that helped.
It seems a bit too random for my tastes (is there really a way to beat this every time?), but it's a cool idea.
As much as I am anti-randomness in games, it's a neat little scenario-exploration thing. I wasn't immediately clear on what was going on, but once I found out I started wanting to try different strategies. I can't say that I felt very engaged on a mechanical level, but I was enjoying myself.
And graphically I enjoy it. I think that would run on a GBC.
Thanks for the kind words everyone. The game does use luck, but you still have to plan ahead if you want to get all the achievements, and it's not a big deal to replay. It is all about the suspense, and without luck it would be predictable :)
It was a little hard to figure out at first! The controls and the text kind of blend in with each other. after that, it's fun to find all the permutations, though!
I thought the way you managed to get across the story and provide a variety of options and endings with such a limited amount of interaction was really clever.
Auto-losing probably refers to starting the game with Space, thus starting the night without doing anything If the window is too small for you, try to resize it. I recommend the original size, but the font is still readable in many sizes. It's nice to see so many people enjoy the cheap setting.
Fun game, love how simple it is. Actually vaguely reminds me of an idea that's been floating around in my head for a while, and thus is giving me some ideas about how to handle that particular idea.
Figuring out all the achievements was fun, although the last one I got "space looks red" took me a bit to find.
