Unfortunately, big video game companies just aren’t releasing any werewolf games for console playin’ werewolf lovers. Which is absolutely lame. But, while not as good, there are quite a few downloadable werewolf games you can play right on your computer, like Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Curse of the Full Moon. According to the game description Shadow Wolf Mysteries may or may not be about werewolves – it’s up to you to figure out the mystery. Hmmm…
Here is some more info on the game:
“Called into a small city from the capitol, you have been put in charge of solving a string of mysterious murders! Around the same time as the murders, a wolf has been appearing around town and spooking the townsfolk. With rumors of a werewolf swirling, it’s up to you to get to the bottom of the mystery and set the record straight in Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Curse of the Full Moon!”
A reviewer on Gamezebo.com adds, “Shadow Wolf Mysteries is, first and foremost, a hidden object adventure game, with some challenging puzzles thrown into the mix. The game is rather lengthy for the genre, clocking in at around 3-4 hours (depending on your use of hints during HO scenes), and will find you traveling in and around a mostly deserted village, as you come across victim after victim and attempt to piece together clues to determine whether or not the werewolf rumor is true, and if not, who is really responsible for the crimes.”
Personally, I love point and click adventure games. So this game is just right for me, I may actually have to download it now. As an added bonus the artwork is fairly beautiful for a cheap PC game (as you can see in the screenshot above). Also, the reviews are surprisingly good too. Really good actually.
Hopefully it is a werewolf killing them off, if not, it still sounds like a decent game. What do you think?

Yeah I wish there were more werewolf based games. The first (and last) werewolf game I actually really played was The Beast Within, which came out way back in ’95. I actually kind of liked it, even though it was basically a movie with some interactive bits thrown in.
