Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times. A sinister "howling plague" has ravaged the land, turning all who hear it into feral beasts. You play a deaf heroine plunging into danger in search of a cure.

Plan up to six steps in advance to outmaneuver your opponents: wolfish creatures filled with hunger and rage. Various types of fiends are lurking in the shadows, each of them possessing different abilities and their own levels of vitality. So, you need to consider carefully the strategy that will bring them to their knees.

Not only do you have your wits to rely on while plotting your attack, you also have an array of abilities at your disposal. As you slay more wolves, you acquire skills like Vault, Smoke Bomb, and Piercing Shot. Venture forth on your journey to upgrade your skills and unlock more Action Slots and Undo Round Points. As you plan your moves, you will also shape your own prophecy, composing a dynamic work of scripture as you fight.

Howl's visuals are created through "living ink", a flowing art style that paints the story as you play. Carve your way through a dark, fairy-tale world made up of obscure yet magical places where you fight and write to rid the lands of the plague.

This is an immersive puzzle game that has an interesting story. You follow the 'prophet' as she fights werewolves otherwise known as victims of 'the howl' and saves people. I love the writing. It's a turn-based game and the puzzles are a lot of fun! You also unlock new abilities and areas as you play. The full version does cost money, if you're willing to drop a few bucks on a good indie game!

A beautiful puzzle game but the offline tag is a lie. Even though I paid for the full version, and played through it for a good bit, when I got onto my flight and tried to play it knocked me back down to the free demo for my entire flight just because I was offline.

A dollar for 2 evenings of fun. I was hooked after the demo and stayed up playing this into the night and then all day the next day. I had a lot fun no issues it was challenging but not to hard and I really enjoyed the story and the art.
