Plot And New Trailer Released For ‘Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of The Forest’
Last month, it was revealed that developer Different Tales were in production of a game set in the Werewolf: The Apocalypse universe entitled Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest. Not much information was revealed about the game until recently, when Different Tales took to Twitter to reveal more meat.
The devs not only revealed the plot of the game, but dropped a new trailer and a vague release date of Q4 2020. Heart of the Forest tells the story of Maia, who travels to Poland in hopes of finding out more about her family roots. Of course, she just so happens to encounter werewolves along the way.
The game aims to be a digital adaptation of the tabletop role-playing system, and as such, Maia has a character sheet listing different aspects of her personality, as well as stats for health, willpower and rage. The decisions you make in the game will affect these stats, which in turn will have influence on what kind of decisions you can make. The game aims to be accessible for both newcomers to the tabletop game, as well as veterans.
We can expect the game on PC via Steam and GOG.com.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
