Personally , if i am Harvey i would want to reconcile with Dana Scott, his ex-girlfriend , if you remember her… my MC’s personality is actually more towards Mike than Harvey , especially based on their earlier relationship with the girlfriend … What i meant was, there was this episode when Mike join a mock trial with Rachel as an opponents , Mike had a chance to break Rachel in front of everyone in order to win but he back off ,earning comment like "naive and soft, definitely not what we looking for "

As for Harvey, his advice to Mike was there is only winner or loser , that’s what he did when he defeated Dana in a “cruel” way, letting Dana beings sack by both her client and agency … kind of feel sorry for Dana because even with such humiliation , she never hated Harvey … i would think Dana is more like Bly’s personality , she may be fierce against her enemies but always willing to forgive and gone soft to the person she loves :slight_smile:

Why i mention Tiva was like Jenny is because both of them met with guys who were not willing to protect them or appreciate them, and both of them are willing to move on to another couple who know how to appreciate them …

Well… i couldn’t really imagine Lapu as Louis Litt, Louis was relentless in his pursue of his goals, he also display loyalty in front of common enemies , but Lapu ??? Errrrr definitely is Trevor, backstab Mike even after what Mike had done for him :stuck_out_tongue:

I totally agree with your assessment with Dena :slight_smile:

I think @GreekWinter already confirm he is working for Book 2 :slight_smile:

I have been playing several playthrough and really enjoy reading it.I have been waiting for another werewolves story since Congresswolf

My favourite character is Rost,William,and Lapu.Even though Lapu is a coward and a traitor,i think he is just confused and want everything to go back to normal and also to protect Tiva…his character is the most human to me i might be biased though since i want to romance him but it seems unlikely i always imagined my MC get jealous when Tiva getting all Lapu attention or that just me :laughing:.While William is pretty extreme his true motivation is the same with my calm and cautious MC motivation to repress the rage so joining with him is the best ending for me and i have the feeling he just want the best for the MC and to protect the MC,and lastly Rost take the first place for my favourite character for the cuteness factor only :laughing::laughing: wish to see him more he is a good doggo.My favourite scene is the car scene haha…i smile when imagined the MC joy when he stick his head out the car window :laughing:

ah…sorry for the rambling i really enjoyed reading it kudos to the author for writing it…Good work and looking foward for the second instalment…

You mean by leaving her to be savagely beaten by a group of humans and maybe killed. Now her face is all messed up because it won’t heal properly.

Well,i mean sure he leave her but it was because he is scared because the soldier have gun and think finding the adult is the best solution to help her and also he will stop Tiva from shooting the soldier so she doesn’t get in trouble when MC doesn’t stop her and his motivation to become traitor is so he can escape with Tiva, he makes plenty of mistake and a coward but it’s the truth that he love Tiva and want to protect her he know he can’t protect her by himself so he seeks other people help.

Sorry for the late reply

Sorry if he really did love her he wouldn’t have left her to be beaten half to death. He ran away to save himself. He only stops her because you either threatened and dragged him there or convinced him to come help you save his girlfriend. Once he finds you he tells you to do it and then runs away. He didn’t even try to help her. They would have killed her if he didn’t run into me.

@No_This_Is_Patrick - I’m not going to argue your points; how he felt, what would have happened but for your intervention and most importantly, how you feel about the whole thing is something each of us should respect in one and the other.

With all that said, I will say this:

Having been in a lethal situation where a loved one was threatened, I can say this for certain: You really don’t know how you will react until you are in that situation yourself.

You might really love a person and think you will jump in front of a bullet to save them. The situation may or may not play out the way you think it will.

Training and experience will change things but until you are in that first experience, how an individual will react is an unknown.

I respect your view but the conclusion you draw in your first sentence is wrong and I speak from experience, knowing a person who loved another in danger and who fled. Even after fleeing, the love was still there. So was guilt and shame and a lot of other emotions.

Guh…i guess i can’t argue that he doesn’t try to protect or sacrifice himself…but at least he was trying to get help when it happen and in the face of death some people abandon their loved one that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love her he even feel bad he can’t help her.

Welp @Eiwynn say it better than me…

I do want to say that I did enjoy this game, and some of the…sexual relations…scenes were a bit more than I expected in an official CoG. This isn’t a complaint, and like Heart of the House, shows a bit more confidence on CoGs part to expand what they allow.

As for the research part, it was nice to see implemented. I mean, I know I ran games where in a more primitive 1800 setting, you would have mad doctors transfusing werewolf blood to create more of them

Finally, while I know it would probably be out of the purview for a potential sequel, it could be interesting to allow a human/werewolf romance…if nothing else, that way members of your pack could call you traitor :wink:

And yeah, I admit I did like Anna, even if others may not. What can I say, she was willing to take a chance after being prodded, so there is hope for her in the future.

I found no faults with the game, it is definitely up there with some of
the best titles from COG and HG.
Perfect length and great choices, all the choices give you something
special for your unique character, 3 RO’s and i thought 2 endings but now
i found out there are 4?

Very well executed game with solid writing.

But he has training. Maybe not to the extent we have, but he knows how to fight and we’ve seen him do it during the beginning when you ambush some guards.
And if someone loves that person as much as they claim they wouldn’t run when they have the ability to save them. I respect your views as well, but in my opinion you can say you love a person as many times as you want but if you can’t show it and back it up, it means nothing.

Your not alone I loved Anna as well. To bad she’s most likely dating the guy shes with.

In an unrelated incident , i think i watch a video not so long ago about a guy in Brazil, when he was approach by an assassin with a gun, he calmly hands his daughter to his wife… kneel down and accepted his fate … i agree that not everyone can be as brave as him

Err… this is where i disagree, Lapu was not trying to get help at all, he was just running away without remorse

In my playthrough Lapu called me a bookworm who is going to slow them down , he even suggested i should be left behind in the earlier chapter :slight_smile: so i am kind of surprise with his actual “character”

In Unnatural, the MC can romance Denise the werewolves … so i think there should be no problem at all with human-werewolves romance :slight_smile: not to mention, a human-vampire romance is already very common …

Eh… Really?well sure if you don’t try to convice him he will cry and run but if you try to convice him and fail the stat check he will say the human have gun and he will get the adult.

I just want to say that it’s fascinating to see people discussing the motivations of characters that existed solely in my head for a year and a half. This is, by far, the coolest thing ever :star_struck:

I honestly wasn’t sure if those scenes would be allowed when I wrote them. Some are more explicit than others, of course. I shopped those scenes around a lot before I submitted them to make sure they didn’t feel overly pornographic. My partner has published some erotica in the past, so his advice was very helpful in that regard. I’m glad you liked it!

It could be interesting to allow a human/werewolf romance…if nothing else, that way members of your pack could call you traitor.

In my original design document, I had planned on making Justin an RO. The more I wrote him, though, the less it seemed to work, so I nixed the idea. In my early design document for Werewolves 2, I have a female human RO who hasn’t been introduced yet. I may also add a male human for balance if I can find a good angle that feels realistic. I try not to add things for the sake of adding them, but if they fit, I’m happy to make my readers happy!

That is one of my favorite scenes as well. I thought it was nice to have something silly and light hearted happen to lighten the tension after the long battle. Glad you enjoyed the moment! :slight_smile:

It is possible to cure Rost and/or save him, having him join with Sonoma’s band of rebels. Rost will be returning in Werewolves 2!

Thank you so much! It’s thrilling to see so many people enjoying the game!

Yes!!guess i will make two save when it implemented…The one with William and Rebel,looking foward to it :laughing::laughing:

How about a journalist investigating the incident?or William’s scientist or ally .

Is she the activist who broke in to haven , trying to free the werewolves but unsuccessfully

Well… just like @No_This_Is_Patrick mentioned, no adults ever show up :slight_smile:

The activist is apparently dating someone already i think. If you get the activist ending some guy gets suspicious maybe jealous I don’t know. Guess we’ll find out need book because I they might not be together.

Can’t argue with that :sweat_smile: maybe because MC already stop the incident so there is no need to mention it but that’s a pretty weak argument.

Is this a standalone thing, or is there gonna be a book 2? Also, who are the ROs? So far I’ve got Dena and Bly.
