The story aspect of the game is centered around engaging quests that involve hunting and leveling up a wolf character, but players feel it lacks depth and variety, particularly in single-player mode. Suggestions for improvement include adding more diverse wolf packs, the ability to create and manage a pack, and expanding the narrative with features like den construction and raising pups. While the quests are enjoyable, they can become repetitive and are hindered by time locks, limiting progression.
“The quests are a lot of fun too!”
“If you want to waste time and run around randomly, it's great. It's a really interesting idea with a lot of potential, and I feel the devs could think more outside the box with it.”
“There are quests you do solo such as hunting a certain number of rabbits and using specific skills to level up your wolf and enhance its attributes.”
“Going through quests is okay, but then you will get to a point when new quests are time locked.”
“Gameplay consists of quests to kill x animals.”
“There are quests you do solo such as hunt x many rabbits, use certain skill x number of times, etc., to level up your wolf and put points into the 4 attributes: health, defense, attack, speed.”

The monetization model for this game is favorable, as it does not include microtransactions, which is a positive aspect compared to its mobile counterpart. However, players express disappointment over the lack of updates and improvements, feeling that the developers have neglected the game since its release. Additionally, there are frustrations regarding account linking and storage issues related to graphics.
“Just as good as the mobile version, just with no microtransactions.”
“The developers of this game have basically given up on making any improvements or updates. They haven't followed the mobile version's path, and I wish I could link my account instead of starting over. While the graphics are better than the original game, the storage requirements for the wolf are excessive, making it difficult for some players to enjoy the game as it was back in 2017 when it was gaining popularity.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it seems like the developers are more focused on making money than providing a quality gaming experience. It's frustrating to see so many paywalls and limited content unless you spend extra.”
“I find the monetization in this game to be overly aggressive. It feels like every aspect of gameplay is tied to spending money, which detracts from the overall enjoyment and makes it hard to progress without shelling out cash.”
