Solid werewolf game again
The game is as good as Heart of the forest, but it takes a different direction sort of. Again, it's like a pen and paper RPG but this time with more choice options for your character and with a new element of "Harano" which is apparently something like a werewolf depressive disorder or trauma and it affects your choices and options during the game. But the game itself has enough variety for you to choose what the story and the events will be like, so it's entirely possible to keep your depression stat at minimum throughout the entire game or see how the scenes turn out if your depression is stronger, it's all up to you. Also the game has its main plot but there are two ways to go through it, each revealing a different aspect of the overall plot, and each of the path having a variety of options to play too, depending either on your choice, your character stats, or the relations with other characters in the game. So the game has a lot of variety for multiple playthroughs. The story of the game is pretty atmospheric and engaging and again like in the Heart of the forest the game explains its terminology and background information in notes under keywords, so the writing is not padded with some lore dumps and it's still accessible to people who know nothing about the tabletop werewolf thing. The plot itself concerns itself both with humane and environmental aspect of current events, just like the werewolf tabletop and by extension the whole World of Darkness tabletop, and while it might be too heavy handed or too on the nose at points, it's still entertaining and relevant both to the real world events and the world of darkness. What you get with this game is something close to tabletop RPG experience. If you want something like VtM bloodlines with action and running around exploring random stuff, you won't get that. If you expect just a visual novel then you're getting more than that.
