Content warning: You will die a lot, and the images, though not gory or involving any human forms, might disturb some players!

As I only had Sunday to do this I went for what I thought would be a simple game. But content.. So many images and more images and text, all the text. But here it is. AWOOoooo!!! An Alpha Wolf (Search for Pixel Prophecy and Alpha Wolf) inspired game.

It can be a learning experience.

Or maybe not.

The game is a simple branching story where all you have to do is make a choice, and another and another. (clicking the text representing your choice!)

Have fun. AWOOoooo!

NOTES:
- Don't click the close button on WebGL version!
- I would recommend full screen, as the text can get a bit small

Nice game! Well done to get creative with the pictures and branching story.

Really love the sound design and the little advertisment at the end, it reminds me of the choice film in stanley parable !

I sadly didn't stick around for long when I understood there was little I could do to avoid dying except replaying it over and over, but liked the low-budget aesthetics, congrats on doing this in a single day!

Dark! Like the low fi text adventure energy and sound design. Maybe a content warning regarding death?

Nice! The audio really helps with the immersion.

Cool reminds me of video based games from the late 90's early 2000's. Good Job!

Worth playing just for the ending sound effect :-)

After finishing this game, I can safely say that the moral of the story is, don't take a break while participating in Ludum Dare, or you will die in many unexpected and silly ways. Keep yourself safe by staying indoors and sticking with the grind :P

I didn't expect, that my first choice to be a dead end choice, lol.
I liked it. It is different.

You died: :(

But, you died as a wolf: :)

Nice change of pace, something refreshingly different from the other games that I've seen so far! Loved the audio.

The opening premise of the game is unnervingly close to what I myself had done during the jam. My walks in the woods were my way of unwinding, and I am quite fortunate there were no cars back then.

Thanks for playing everyone, and for the comments :D
I will never again make a game like this! If I don't have the full 48 hours available, I'll just skip LD.

@rafagamedev And I'm not much of a writer, so as mentioned, I'll never make a text-based game ever again. Maybe a challenge would be a game with NO text, not score, no text on menus no, instructions. Just icons.. hmmmm...

Cool game ! The texts were fun and well displayed, good job :slight_smile:

I think you have opted out of all ratings (turned the "casual" option on). By accident or on purpose?

In any case - you weren't kidding. I died. A lot. Who knew that switching off my computer and going outside is so dangerous! I'll take it as a warning and never do it again :wink: :grin:

Opted out of rating by mistake.. Normally not many plays my LD games, so didn't think much of it. But I don't know what is happening this time.. I'm just glad people like it :D

I'll do better for LD 54. Clicking the right buttons.. This isn't the first time it's happened. :/

Fun little walk! And so many dumb ways to die. I guess I should be really careful next time I go outside. :D

The voice acting and sound effects are really fun. The game is also put together really well considering most of the assets are real picutres. I just think there may be a lot of reading which isn't everyone's favorite. Still a really relaxing, good time

Click adventure, but like old tyming click adventure; like a choose your own adventure book or something. I just need the ability to put my finger in the pages and go back. ;-) haha Going outside was dangerous. I died so many times on my way to awwwwooOOOOOOO-some experience outside. Nice work.

I die, but I die as a wolf :) Really good game which made my evening. Thank you for sharing with us some pictures taken around you. I really appreciate seeing where my fellows live. The main mechanics work well as expected and I like the selection background. You made a solid entry - one of my favorites. Thank you. I wish you the best. AWWWOOOOOOOO! ++

A-a-ah! These are the Fibonacci dots! You still remember that meme! :D

Honestly, that's a solid adventure game! Look at all that polished UI, and a nice-looking font, and background images and everything's moving, and sound effects! I mean, some layering issues aside, the game is almost as polished as it could be. And did you say you had just one day to do it? Incredible!

Awooooo! Here's the walkthroooooooooogh! :D
_UPD: my connection is pretty bad right now, walkthrough will be there in several minutes_
