The story of "Avatar of the Wolf" is a blend of mythic elements and personal journey, featuring a straightforward narrative about a character seeking the vanished wolf god that once inhabited them. While some players appreciate the engaging writing and plot twists, others find the pacing rushed and the story lacking depth, with a desire for further development in potential sequels. Overall, the game offers a richly detailed world and an interactive experience, though it can be confusing at times due to its stat system and narrative structure.
“A beautiful story, perfect in length, well-told, with the mythical cadence I'd expect from a story about gods.”
“Overall, I really loved this story.”
“The highest praise I can give this story is that it felt like I was going on an adventure as I read it, something not all interactive fiction adventures manage to accomplish.”
“The story follows the same trend where the narrative rushes ahead without taking the time to flesh anything out.”
“But then it just ended in what in my opinion was the middle of a story that could turn out to be really well done if continued.”
“I like the ideas, but partially due to the mythic storytelling and the obscuring of the stats influence, it can be difficult to know what your end goal should be or how to get there.”
