A story as old as nature itself, the Greywolf pack were once the mightiest wolves in the forest, but in time became arrogant and careless. The oppressed wolf packs around them had banded to destroy the Greywolf pack, and one stormy night engaged them in an epic battle. All that survived were the Alpha wolf Xerxes, and a young pup named Maxx whose mother was killed that night. Maxx would soon be forced into taking the role of Alpha and rebuilding the Greywolf pack, or else face the world as a Lone Wolf...

Battles are fast and furious button mashing action, mixed with strategical skill use thanks to Vampyr Coders SBABS 12. You can choose to be a Lone Wolf, or produce offspring and Fight as a Pack! Tear through everything in your path from Rabbits to Grizzly Bears in an open world adventure that will take you from Omega to Alpha of the wilderness! Compete against 4 other Wolf packs for limited food supplies. The 8 Directional movement scripting gives a fluid action gaming experience. Original Music for this game by Violence Machine.

To produce a pack you must find a Den Mother, after that you must provide her with Meat. When there is enough food for her and a puppy, you can mate and a young wolf will be born. You can name the newborn, then go off and explore the world while you wait for it to grow up into a big strong wolf (about 2-3 minutes). Once the wolf has grown, simply approach (touch) the character and it will ask to join your group! Keep in mind, the more Wolves in your pack, the faster they will eat through your Meat reserves...

Once in your group, pack members can level up independently of the Player. So the more battles they fight at your side, the stronger they will become. Each wolf has it's own specialty (Attack, Defense, Speed, ect). If a wolf Dies, simply return to the Den Mother and mate to have the wolf reborn.





The Sniff skill is an invaluable tool that displays a mini-map in the top right corner of the screen, displaying the approximate location of Prey, Preditors, Super Preditors, Special Locations and the Players location. The minimap will show the strongest scents, so a rabbit hole or raccoon hovel (spawn points) may show up instead of individual creatures. It is useful to use this skill to see ahead in the map in case of Super Preditors that should be avoided until you have a full pack, or to find prey for quick meat gains.

Maxx is a strong and intellegent grey wolf, born just before the pack lost it's position of power. He is traumatized by finding his mothers diembowled body, however this memory serves to fuel his richeous anger. After being left alone with his father Xerxes, Maxx must essentially fend for himself due to Xerxes lack of interest in him. There comes a time when Maxx must choose to become the new Alpha of the Greywolf pack and restore it to it's former glory, or else fade into extinction...


Xerxes was once the mightiest wolf in the forest, strong and sly, he lead the Greywolf pack into a position of authority over the wilderness. It was only after many years that Xerxes became complacent, too accustomed to never being challeneged. Confident in his superiority, he began to oppress the rival packs. He got his signature scar over his eye from Razor, who was just a young up-and-coming Beta wolf at the time. They scuffled over a deer carcass Razor had found on Greywolf territory, which lead to the banding of the other packs to defeat Xerxes once and for all...



Kush is the Alpha of the Redwolf pack that call Evershine their home. The Redwolves are smaller and generally weaker than the other wolves, but compensate with their cunning. Kush runs the pack from his hillside den lair, however recently contracted Rabies and has gone completely Mad...

Razor is the Alpha of the Timberwolf pack, known for their reverence of all things Tough and Cruel, Razor is the Biggest and Baddest.

I appreciate any feedback! This is my first game released to the public, so I hope you enjoy it ;)

If you find errors in the game, please feel free to let me know. I have tested the game numerous times, trying to break my own code, and all I have found are a few very minor bugs that will not disrupt your gameplay experience, however I admit there may be some glitches I have missed. Please do not flood with comments like "I saw a hot pixel in the top corner for 2 seconds when so-and-so character turns left", I'm looking for fatal or game ruining bugs thanks.
