Wolfsbane

Moonlight Games, 1995


You are a simple medieval merchant who has been bitten by a werewolf in this unusual adventure game by Merit Studios. Once bitten, you have until midnight to find a way to remove the curse. If it is not lifted by the stroke of twelve you will become a werewolf yourself and remain one for the rest of your life. While Wolfsbane is set in a marvelously dark and mysterious world of supernatural forces, it nevertheless falls short in several areas. Frequent combat against other enchanted beings is required to advance the game and the puzzles are elementary at best. Despite these drawbacks, the interface is quite good, as is the storyline.
