Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in a world of living ink, where the sound of a ‘howling plague’ turns people into feral beasts. Rid the lands of the plague using your crossbow, magic skills and your wits, planning every move up to six steps in advance. Some think prophecy is carved in stone – write your own in ink and blood. Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times. Alone in a world terrorised by a plague that turns people into wolves, you must use your weapons and your wits to survive, planning up to six steps in advance to outmanoeuvre your opponents. As you plot out your attack, you’ll also craft your own prophecy, weaving a continuous piece of scripture during the fight.
