Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest‘s greatest strengths lie in Maia’s customization and the sheer number of interactive choices presented to players.
Every choice made in the game will have some level of impact on the overall ending. Depending on her personality, what story results you see, and her rapport levels with other characters, certain events will change significantly in one playthrough, if they even occur at all. This is Maia’s story, and you’re an active participant in shaping it based on every decision you make. The ability to truly tailor Maia to the player’s preferences is incredible and gives you the sense of being immersed in her situation. Though, yes, as you no doubt suspected from the title, there are werewolves thrown into the mix!Īt times, Heart of the Forest opens to an RPG-esque “world map” of sorts, and you must make decisions as to where Maia, and the story, will traverse to next. Can Maia solve the mystery as to why she feels so strongly about the forest while uncovering familial secrets and helping to keep things from escalating amidst the protests? To say much more on the plot would be to spoil an engaging tale that continually evolves based on player actions, and it would also be pointless to do because every playthrough differs immensely from the one that preceded it. She and traveling companion Anya travel there at the onset of the plot, as Maia hopes to understand why she feels such a pull to a region she’s never been to. Unfortunately, the two friends’ timing has them arriving just as tensions between environmental activists and loggers in the area boil over. The game stars Maia, an American university student who has always felt a strong, one might say near-mystical, connection to Białowieża Forest in Poland. Heart of the Forest brings to the narrative table a rather unique and creative blend of interactivity and constantly evolving plot threads.
