Summit of the Wolf Trailers and Release Date

Hi all!

I am extremely excited to announce that Summit of the Wolf officially launches on April 21. If you haven't yet, add it to your wishlist today!

In addition, trailers are now available on the store page. Since there are two sides to every story, and Summit of the Wolf takes place in both a fantasy world and the real one, I made two trailers--one to showcase each part of the story. As you'll see, they are drastically different in tone. This is intentional!

Enjoy, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thank you for all your support over the years!

All the best,
Christopher

Summit of the Wolf GUI Colors

Hi all,

My beta testers are split right down the middle, so I'm asking on all social media: which color scheme do you prefer for the GUI? Keep in mind that this is a fantasy game intermixed with dark real-world segments that features a young girl as the protagonist.





Please comment with "pink" or "beige" to help me decide! Thank you! ːsteamhappyː

Summit of the Wolf: Beta Officially Begins

Great news, everyone! Summit of the Wolf is now officially in beta! Stay tuned for an official trailer, along with a specific release date, coming very soon.

For now, however, I'd like to finally discuss the real-world segments of the game, which I've been promising to do for several months now.

As I've alluded to in the past, Summit of the Wolf takes place both in a fantasy setting and in the real world. While the majority of segments take place in the former environment, the latter is integral to the story. Whereas the fantasy segments could be defined as a "fairytale," the real world segments are most definitely a mystery. What happened to Ophelia, the game's protagonist? How did she end up where she is?

Concurrent to this mystery is the next chapter in the overarching metastory that has been set up since the first game in this series, Lifestream. In this chapter of that story, we reunite with two familiar faces: Kate Ekan from Shady Brook and Brianna Auberon from The Filmmaker. Kate is now a patient in the hospital in which Brianna works...but why is she there? And how do these two tie together? Not all the answers to the questions you'll be asking are included in Summit of the Wolf...but there will definitely be more than enough foreshadowing to keep you guessing until the next game in the series!

Quick Summit of the Wolf Update

Hey everyone,

This is just a quick update to let you all know that I'm finally feeling well again, and I am back to working on Summit of the Wolf. I am currently 86% done editing the voices for the game. I estimate another week or so of editing. After that, I'll just need an additional week of testing before the game goes into beta!

Summit of the Wolf is still on-track for a Spring release. I'll post a more detailed update at the start of February!

Cheers,
Christopher
