About this game

This game is free to download and play for a limited number of levels and time. Do you like the game? Then you can easily unlock the full version through the in App purchase!

Howl is a turn-based puzzle/tactical folktale set in the Middle Ages, where a mysterious "howling plague" ravages the land. Any who hear the beasts’ howls turn into feral, hungering beasts themselves – further spreading the curse through their own howls. The Heroine of this tale was born deaf, giving her a unique protection against this curse.

Play as a daring combat Prophet with the ability to foretell your enemies’ moves. Plan up to six steps ahead to outmaneuver your enemies. Fire a variety of arrows, such as exploding, lightning, or piercing shots, and use skills like Smoke Bombs and Shadow Step’s Invisibility to kill any beasts who stand in your way. Each type of beast offers its own challenges, with some approaching fast, while others taking more powerful hits or attacking from afar.

Howl's visuals are created through "living ink", a flowing art style that paints the story as you play. Carve your way through a dark, fairy-tale world made up of obscure yet magical places where you fight to rid the lands of the howling plague.

Howl features a total of 5 chapters, including the free Heart of Rot update, each with a distinct visual atmosphere scored by soothing music. Access to this update is FREE for anyone who has bought the Howl base game. You can access this update chapter from the Chapter 3 map at any point after reaching Chapter 3 of the main story.

This update features its own chapter map, new enemies, a new boss level, new environment mechanics, the new Lightning Shot skill (which, once unlocked, can be used in the main game!), and an NPC who fights by your side in later levels.

Features
• Foretell the actions of your enemies in turn-based puzzle/tactics combat.
• Play through 60 levels across 4 chapters, plus 18 new levels in the free update chapter!
• Beautifully illustrated in a unique, living ink art style.
• Outsmart the different wolf species, from fast predators to enormous pack leaders.
• Unlock and upgrade new skills like Shadow Step, Exploding Shot, and more.
• Save villagers from the claws – and howls – of the wolves.
• Plot your route on the world map to uncover new skills and secret paths.

Heart of Rot – Free Update Chapter

Embark on this side-story to the Capital, a city that long stood as a bastion of hope in a world overrun by howling beasts. The Prophet has heard rumors that the alchemists there have found a cure for the Howl. When she arrives, she finds a city consumed by rot ...

Access to this update is FREE for anyone who has bought the Howl base game. You can access this update chapter from the Chapter 3 map at any point after reaching Chapter 3 of the main story. Heart of Rot follows its own storyline, and can be completed either before or after the main Howl story.

This update features its own chapter map, new enemies, a new boss level, new environment mechanics, the new Lightning Shot skill (which, once unlocked, can be used in the main game!), and an NPC who fights by your side in later levels.

This is an immersive puzzle game that has an interesting story. You follow the 'prophet' as she fights werewolves otherwise known as victims of 'the howl' and saves people. I love the writing. It's a turn-based game and the puzzles are a lot of fun! You also unlock new abilities and areas as you play. The full version does cost money, if you're willing to drop a few bucks on a good indie game!

A beautiful puzzle game about werewolves :D Definitely worth the few dollars. An enjoyable puzzle game with a neat story in the background, and the puzzle mechanics were just understandable enough to make you feel like you earned each level won. I wish there was more endgame content or something special for 100% completion, but even without those things it's pretty great!

So far from the demo it's good! I can't buy it so that's a bummer but best of luck to this game! I love these strategy games. The voice isn't distracting or out of place from the board and it also provides help in case one needs it, which is thoughtful. I don't know what goes past the demo so it could be bad or repetitive later on, I won't ever know, but it's very nice. Well made!
