Direwolf is a multiplayer game of subterfuge, debate and confrontation inspired by the popular Werewolf tabletop game in which you attempt to identify and eliminate evildoers in your group.
Direwolf is played online with groups of players, with players being assigned roles depending on the card they draw. There are a selection of different cards that fall into three main categories – Town, Wolf and Chaos. Depending on the card you draw you may have a specific objective or abilities, but in general you face off against each other in a similar vein as the Werewolf tabletop game, with the Villagers attempting to figure out who the evil doers are while the evil doers try and pick off the Villagers one by one.
It’s a fun looking game that looks set to offer a social gaming experience packed full of lies, back-stabbing and deceit. There’s no place for morals and honesty in Direwolf, that’s a sure fire way to end up dead!
UPDATE: This Beta Is No Longer Available
The game’s dead. Don’t bother signing up. I got a key several weeks ago and no one’s on. No updates in months with no communication at all.
