I don't play endless runners. I was only drawn to try out the genre due to the lycanthropic twist in this entry. And it's... some mostly okay bs to mess around with. The story lasts from about half an hour to however long it takes you to beat, depending on your skill and your choice of difficulty. I don't have many compliments but I guess I enjoyed my time with it. Honestly it was more appealing to me than I was expecting. The story is vaguely interesting, though it goes nowhere. That "To be continued" at the end is hollow lol.

The premise, however, is gold. WEREWOLF IN SPACE. Excluding works of prose, the movie Project Metalbeast is the only piece of scifi werewolf media that springs to mind, so it's a treat to find that particular subgenre here. I had read beforehand that you flee a werewolf in the game, but the fact that you are also a werewolf was a pleasant surprise. You only wolf out for short specific sections tho and the main power up of the werewolf form is... skipping the quick time events that you have to do as a human. The wolf mode is rather underused.

Also this game has terrible branding. Should've called it Space Werewolf Runner or Run Wolf Boy Run or some shit. Infinity Runner is generic as fuck and doesn't even hint at the monster.
