About Howl
Howl is a turn-based puzzle/tactical folktale set in the Middle Ages, where a mysterious "howling plague" ravages the land. Any who hear the beasts’ howls turn into feral, hungering beasts themselves – further spreading the curse through their own howls. The Heroine of this tale was born deaf, giving her a unique protection against this curse.
Play as a daring combat Prophet with the ability to foretell your enemies’ moves. Plan up to six steps ahead to outmaneuver your enemies. Fire a variety of arrows, such as exploding, lightning, or piercing shots, and use skills like Smoke Bombs and Shadow Step’s Invisibility to kill any beasts who stand in your way. Each type of beast offers its own challenges, with some approaching fast, while others taking more powerful hits or attacking from afar.
Howl's visuals are created through "living ink", a flowing art style that paints the story as you play. Carve your way through a dark, fairy-tale world made up of obscure yet magical places where you fight to rid the lands of the howling plague.
Howl features a total of 5 chapters, including the free Heart of Rot update, each with a distinct visual atmosphere scored by soothing music. Access to this update is FREE for anyone who has bought the Howl base game. You can access this update chapter from the Chapter 3 map at any point after reaching Chapter 3 of the main story.
This update features its own chapter map, new enemies, a new boss level, new environment mechanics, the new Lightning Shot skill (which, once unlocked, can be used in the main game!), and an NPC who fights by your side in later levels.
Features
• Foretell the actions of your enemies in turn-based puzzle/tactics combat.
• Play through 60 levels across 4 chapters, plus 18 new levels in the free update chapter!
• Beautifully illustrated in a unique, living ink art style.
• Outsmart the different wolf species, from fast predators to enormous pack leaders.
• Unlock and upgrade new skills like Shadow Step, Exploding Shot, and more.
• Save villagers from the claws – and howls – of the wolves.
• Plot your route on the world map to uncover new skills and secret paths.

Just finished to demo and loved it
I litterally only just finished the demo and im already in love with it. I also love how they let you teat out the game before you actually buy in and play the full version. Also, It is a pretty low price for such a hogh quality game.

A wonderful challenge
This game is gorgeous, the music is lovely, and the voice acting is on point. The only complaint I have is, like everyone else, that if you are on the leftmost column of the map you can’t shoot arrows because the card is covered by the UI. Well, that and I would like more of the game but I think it may be better at this length.
