The story in "Werewolf Party" is primarily player-driven, with each game session creating a unique narrative based on the roles players assume and their strategies to uncover the hidden werewolf. While the game fosters a roleplaying atmosphere through its minimalistic design and proximity chat, it lacks engaging mechanics like quests, which could enhance the storytelling experience. Overall, the narrative is shaped by player interactions rather than a predefined storyline.
- “Visually, the game is very minimalistic in style and makes use of bright colors to differentiate between objects in the game world. In terms of audio, the game utilizes proximity chat, which I thought was a great addition, especially in an indie game like this where it’s not about a narrative but the story you create with friends. It really allows you to get into the feeling of roleplaying.”
- “Werewolf Party is more of a player-driven story; you can look at it as if each run is a new story based on the role you receive as a villager and how you strategize to discover who is the hidden werewolf.”
- “The game is not about a narrative but the story you create with friends, which allows you to get into the feeling of roleplaying.”
