Howl 2023
Howl is a turn-based puzzle video game released in November 14, 2023 for Windows and Nintendo Switch, later expanding to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2024, Android on February 7, 2024 and iOS on March 1, 2024. Developed by Austrian studio Mi'pu'mi Games and published by Astragon Entertainment, the game is set in a dark fantasy folktale world where a "Howling Plague" transforms people into werewolves upon hearing it. The main character, The Prophet, is deaf and thus immune to this affliction. She embarks on a quest to find a cure and locate her missing brother. Each level requires either avoiding or defeating werewolves to progress. Critics gave the game mixed reviews, appreciating its visual design and thematic elements, but criticizing its minimal narrative content that they felt did not match the strength of its concept. The gameplay also drew divided opinions, with some players wishing for more tactical depth.
