Unreal Engine - Project Werewulf [Demo - Build 14 Halloween] [FTR Game Studio]

This is currently one of the most promising games in f95zone. Very strong graphics, superb design and a lot of content for a demo. It is much better than 95% of the 3D games here, and it is just a DEMO! Amazing job. The atmosphere is another strenght of the game. Maybe it needs some polishing with the shooting, but is just a minor issue that can be easily solved

4 stars cuz its a demo, you know how demos are usually.
I belive if it was full finished game, it could be 5 stars.

Game is not heavy on GPU and CPU if you use max settings 60 fps cap.

Character customization is decent but it could use even more details and hair color is bugged or bad.

Controls are surprisingly good and fun but overall gameplay could use work since its a demo and might be a bit buggy at times.

It has voice acting which is kinda mid for me, imo.

Game can be scary, it scared me 2 times.

Weapons are fun enough to use, i like it.

Game is making it easy for you on what to do, press Q and you see all, it even shows cutscene where to go.

Plenty of hot outfits to find and wear, you can shower and customize character mid gameplay if you find mirror.

For a 3D horror shooter game, this has to be one of the best, what can you even compare this game to in this field? Cant think of any.


Its a linear game but its fun enough i like it.

Bland and boring slop that seems intentionally designed to ensure you waste enough time in it that you cant refund it on Steam.

Pros:
-Assuming you manage to wrestle the obnoxious aiming system, most enemies die in one shot to the head and three shots to the body. Rifle shoots in three round bursts, so most of the time you only need to point and click.

-As obnoxious as actually using it feels, the locomotion is well animated.

-It is voice acted.

Cons:
-Voice acting isn't good. It isn't truly atrocious, or I wouldn't even mention it as a pro, but it is as bland and boring as everything else. If you don't care about voice acting quality, its there. If you do care, unfortunately, its still there.

-And its still there because there is only one audio option in the settings, and that is master volume. Thats right, no sound, voice, music separate. You WILL listen to all of it, or you will listen to NONE of it.

-The locomotion is the only well animated thing in the game. Every actual sex animation is a single motion loop with black screen fadeouts instead of transitions. There is no orgasm, cumming or any other finishing animation. The hairy man (I refuse to call this a werewolf) simply humps for awhile and then it fades to black. You get a tiny cum decal on the players model. The end.

-In my honest opinion, any developer putting an unskippable cutscene into their game deserves to have their teeth kicked in. Nearly every cutscene in the game except, like, 3 is unskippable. There is a lot of them and most do not present any useful info.

-On that note, no sex animation is skippable. Got got? Already seen hairy man do a basic animation loop for 5 minutes in this specific pose? Well, too bad, watch it again.

-Facial animations have "Western dev was here" written all over them. Whatever facial animations are present contain no soul and barely display any emotion.

-Doors opening. So many doors. So many opening. So many doors. So many opening...

-One level has explosive barrels in it. Your only clue that the barrels are explosive is that they explode if you get close. This immediately kills you and sends you back to the last checkpoint.

-Underwater level must have been designed with the express intention to torture developer's friends. You move obnoxiously slow, trying to look left or right while moving slows you even further, and however few pockets of air there must be on the level are impossible to find due to how dark, repetitive and thus tedious to navigate the level is.
If you drown while there are hairy men on the level (why are hairy men perfectly capable of SLEEPING underwater? Weren't they supposed to be werewolves?), you will be sent to the boring sex animation room which has scuba diving outfit. This solves the issue of needing air, but does not solve the issue of obnoxiously slow movement.
You do not want to accidentally press 'O' and remove the scuba diving outfit, as you cannot put back on whatever you took off.

-Game is dark. The second biggest obstacle to progressing through the game after all the unskippable cutscenes and opening doors is that you cannot fucking see the things you need to see. Headlamp and flashlight on your gun only barely help.

-The horror is not there. At its best, the combination of the wooden facial animations, bland voice acting and barebones general animations makes you feel like you're watching a B movie. This could have been a pro, had this not been a porn game at the end of the day.

-The biggest con of all, all of the above makes the game not just boring, but also utterly unarousing. You could boot the game up with the most raging boner of your life and go flaccid in 5 minutes flat, and not because you got spent.

Whatever "potential" this game has is not worth the time you would spend downloading it, much less playing. Most important, it doesn't matter — you are not gonna be playing what this game could be. You will be playing what this game is right now. And right now its bland and boring.

Verdict: skip this one.

Great Demo. The protagonist is well designed, and I love fit gals. The gameplay is ok, and sometimes the game is a bit too dark (I spent way too much time on a puzzle just cuz I couldnt see a thing). The scenes are good, but I don't really like how the game is heading to a dominant protagonist.
