About The Wolf's Den

There are forces in the world that no man should ever tinker with. However, that didn't stop two alchemists, Caesar and Marcus, from performing their wretched experiments with the unknown. Disaster strikes, and Marcus now finds himself in mortal peril trying to escape the ruins of his old laboratory in a seemingly deserted train tunnel, running through the heart of the mountain. Unbeknownst to him, something lurks in the dark of the passageway, something never before seen by mortal eyes. Can you help Marcus escape the clutches of this unseen terror?

In order to do that, you must enter The Wolf's Den!

The Wolf's Den is a short first person experience through a dark and mysterious world. Explore a dark mysterious train tunnel on your way to escape from a tragic accident that destroyed you and your partner's lab. Something is not quite right though and it's not just the uncomfortable noises emanating from the darkness. You will have to use your wits to uncover the mysteries of what happened to your partner Caesar, to figure out who is writing these mysterious notes, and to make sense of everything that's going on around you!

Features include:
  • Short linear single-player experience. Complete it within a day!
  • Suspenseful first-person exploration in an atmospheric world.
  • Full voice acting with subtitle support.
  • Hidden secrets for extra replayability.
  • Steam achievements and cloud saves.

The Wolf's Den is a short walking simulation game. The game play is plain. The visual display is below average. Not much content in the later period.

I dont like leaving negative ratings/. It was an alright game i died at one stage at the end because I was running from the Wolf, and because I was conventrating on running I didnt see the train lever as i ran past it... so i died tot he wpld, and got put back 10-15 minutes from the end, where I had to do the grease on the second last lever again which was frustrating. Nothing really scary. I was surprised in the credits it said 6-7 music trakcs? I only noticed 1 music track on constant loop through the game. One reviewer did say its just one straight line but there is more than that, you do go off course to enter rooms and find items. There are readme notes too and they are interesting I would have rated it better if the game hadnt sent me all that way back just for actually dying. i didnt mind this one, it was alright but only leaving negative because of the fact i was put back 10-15 minutes back after dying just because I was blocked by an invisbile wall due to the fact i didnt see the train lever as i was running from the wolf.. OH i did die a 2nd time too, bevause a note was on the side just as the werewolf first appeared, i wanted to read it, I though hte wolf might st…

Really nice short game! I wish the tunnels were a bit shorter and a little more wolf but thats about it

A bit too short for a genuinely scary game. I feel that the game could be expanded a bit, maybe some flashback scenes or a POV from the wolf's perspective. Great work 4/5

short like my attention span and long at the same time they could of cut the tunnel length in like fourths and it would of gotten the job done :)
