    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its atmosphere and intriguing elements, while others criticize it for being predictable and weak, particularly towards the end. Although it features a few plot twists and engaging moments, many found it lacking depth and coherence, with some scenes described as horrific yet compelling. Overall, the narrative is seen as suitable for a mature audience, but it leaves room for improvement in terms of complexity and originality.

    • “The game starts with Ashley (who you play throughout the entire game) looking over some old photos and then talking about something that happened a while ago, and then off you go into the game through a story that is being told in the present but you are living through in the past. So whatever you do, you know that at least Ashley survives the adventure—and no spoiler as this happens right at the start.”
    • “The game's story is really well written, and I for one did see what was coming, but it was still a very satisfactory ending to what is a well-developed and well put together game.”
    • “Welcome to the curse of the werewolves - a hidden object adventure game with blood-chilling visuals and an enthralling storyline.”
    • “The story is also really weak and borderline nonsensical towards the end.”
    • “The problem with the curse of the werewolves was that it had no story when, given the subject matter, it could have had a really good one.”
    • “The plot is a bit weak, the puzzles pretty easy.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their stunning artwork and blood-chilling visuals, effectively enhancing the overall experience. While some reviews note that the graphics are primarily static, they are well-presented and engaging, making the occasional animations even more impactful. However, there are mixed opinions, with one reviewer stating that the decent graphics cannot compensate for the game's other shortcomings.

    • “This was an excellent point and click adventure with stunning artwork.”
    • “Welcome to the curse of the werewolves - a hidden object adventure game with blood-chilling visuals and an enthralling storyline.”
    • “But, the decent graphics couldn't hide the fact that everything else about the game was garbage.”
    • “The graphics in the game, for the most part, are of the static variety (aren't they always in these games), but they are presented and drawn in such a way as to draw you in. When the game does throw some moving images at you, they are all the more attention-grabbing for it.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is well-suited to the story, enhancing the overall experience without being distracting. While the voice acting, particularly by Ashley, is generally well-delivered, players noted a desire for more character variety to enrich the dialogue.

    • “The music in the game really suits the nature of the game, and the spoken dialogue is all delivered well by the cast.”
    • “The music in the game really suits the nature of the game, but most of the time you will just be listening to Ashley's voice. We could have done with a few more characters to flesh things out.”
    • “The music was suitable for the story and didn't distract or annoy.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is generally well-received, with users appreciating its engaging quality, even if the story itself is straightforward and uncomplicated.

    • “I really liked the atmosphere; the story was simple but engaging.”
    • “The ambiance of the game truly immerses you in its world.”
    • “Every detail contributes to a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that keeps you on edge.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a mix of static object-finding and pipe-moving puzzles, providing a challenging experience without the option to skip puzzles, which some players find abstract yet engaging. Overall, the mechanics are entertaining and maintain their appeal throughout the game.

    • “The gameplay consists of a variety of puzzles, from static object-finding to solving water flow by moving pipes. Overall, these challenges are entertaining and never feel repetitive. The absence of a button to bypass puzzles adds an extra layer of challenge, as some can be quite abstract.”
    • “The gameplay consists of static 'find the object' mechanics and pipe-moving puzzles, which can be entertaining but may feel repetitive over time. Additionally, the lack of a button to bypass puzzles adds a level of challenge, as some of them can be quite abstract.”
    • “The gameplay is often hindered by clunky controls and a lack of fluidity, making it frustrating to navigate through levels.”
    • “While the puzzles can be engaging, the overall gameplay feels disjointed and lacks a cohesive flow, leading to a less enjoyable experience.”
