I like the classic werewolf game and playing it in this format was nice. I think I encountered a bug. For me in the end the merchant strangled the priest but the next day the priest was there and the merchant wasn't.
Yeah, sorry, I fixed it, but still have to wait for the end of the jam to update it haha
You didn't miss much though, so no worries!
Nice investigation/horror, the creepiest part is not the werewolf but the villager staring at you and watching every single move you make eheheh, but using 2d characters in a 3D world, I really like it, and the art is really really nice.
I had some problems with the cursor not locking to the windowed game so I had to play fullscreen but nothing bad. GG!
Thanks!
Didn't expect the 2D part to play a role in the creepiness, but it makes sense haha
And I'm sure the artists will be happy!
Cool game, liked it , the were wolf was pretty creepy game me chills, some of the shadows in the day time felt a bit too dark couldnt find the bed for ages
Thanks for playing!
If you get stuck, you always have debug inputs in the description you can use ^^
But yeah, it's probably too dark and needs some more lighting (but we had a lot of problems with webgl haha)
