Overview
Description

In Guise of the Wolf, you step into the shoes of Dominik, a young alchemist tasked with protecting the medieval kingdom of Uhorsko from a terrifying creature. As the story unfolds, a bite transforms him into the very monster he must defeat, forcing players to navigate a haunting world where humanity and horror collide. The game blends first‑person action, mystery, and horror in an indie adventure, delivering atmospheric exploration, alchemical puzzles, and brutal combat as you struggle to control the wolf within while uncovering the kingdom’s dark secrets.

The Path is a psychological horror art game that reimagines the classic Little Red Riding Hood story in a contemporary, surreal setting. Players choose one of six sisters and decide whether to stay on the prescribed path or wander into the forest, where hidden wolves await. The game blends exploration, narrative interaction, and atmospheric first‑person sequences, offering multiple endings that change based on the player’s choices and encounters with the wolf. Its minimalist controls and symbolic objects create a deeply immersive, unsettling experience.
