The Wolf’s Den
There are forces in the world that no man should ever tinker with. However, that didn’t stop two alchemists, Caesar and Marcus, from performing their wretched experiments with the unknown. Disaster strikes, and Marcus now finds himself in mortal peril trying to escape the ruins of his old laboratory in a seemingly deserted train tunnel, running through the heart of the mountain. Unbeknownst to him, something lurks in the dark of the passageway, something never before seen by mortal eyes. Can you help Marcus escape the clutches of this unseen terror?

A bit too short for a genuinely scary game. I feel that the game could be expanded a bit, maybe some flashback scenes or a POV from the wolf's perspective.
Great work 4/5

The Wolf’s Den is a short and atmospheric first-person adventure that offers a unique blend of narrative-driven exploration and light puzzle-solving. While the gameplay is simple—mostly walking through a linear path—the eerie atmosphere and unfolding story keep you engaged.
The story, told through voiceovers and scattered notes, revolves around alchemy and werewolves, adding an intriguing fantasy element. The game encourages multiple playthroughs, especially for achievement hunters, as finding all collectibles requires revisiting levels.
On the downside, the gameplay loop can feel repetitive, particularly in the later levels where not much happens. The final level is notably long and somewhat dull, which could have been improved with pacing adjustments or added mechanics. The voice acting is a bit rough at times, but it doesn’t detract too much from the overall experience.
Originally a paid game, The Wolf’s Den is now free, making it easier to recommend. If you’re looking for a short, story-driven indie game with a nostalgic Unity feel, it’s worth a try—just don’t expect deep mechanics or intense horror.
A decent, quick experience for narrative-focused players and achievement hunters, but the linear gameplay and lack of scares might not appeal to everyone.
