It's a very well written CYOA kind of game with really nice illustrations, sound design, really many weighty choices and in general it's one of the best CYOA experiences you can find. I may very much enjoy Choice of Games stuff, but the lack of anything besides text makes none of them any match to Heart of the Forest, which has amazing ATMOSPHERE.
The one thing that bummed me out... It's just too short. If the team ever gets another chance to write a World of Darkness CYOA game, hope they get more time and budget to write a bigger story.
Worth every penny and probably multiple playthroughs till 100% completion of achievements, though am not gonna do that yet myself, hard for me to make choices i would not do IRL.

This might honestly be my favorite visual novel experience. It never feels dragged on like some games in the genre, and the RPG elements add a lot to the replayability. My only one (but major) complaint is that it's too short. By the time the plot starts to pick up, the game is already nearing the end. The fun stuff could have been explored more.
Despite the flaw, this is hard recommendation even for people not familiar with the World of Darkness. It does really well at exploring the setting, taking the parts that make it good and presenting it as something that's enjoyable on its own.

The game held a lot of promise, but I felt that the story was rushed, particularly during the two main events. The decisions I made seemed to have limited impact, resulting in a somewhat shallow experience.
I encountered a peculiar issue where the options presented sometimes switched between character actions and story-related choices. This disrupted the immersion, as I expected to interpret the character's motivations consistently.
On the positive side, the game excels in its systems, and the music and ambiance contribute to a captivating atmosphere. Despite its flaws, the three-hour duration offered a concise yet engaging narrative.
While I believe there's room for improvement, "Werewolf: Heart of the Forest" manages to provide a satisfying gaming experience for those who like visual novels.
