About this game

Rise up, werewolves! Throw off the shackles of a tyrannical military police state. Fight for your pack! Fight for your honor! Fight for your freedom!

"Werewolves: Haven Rising" is a 285,000-word interactive novel by Jeffrey Dean, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

You are one of fifteen pups born in Haven, a government internment camp where werewolves are forced to live and work. Raised in this refuge since birth, you've never known the freedom of the wilds. You soon discover the elders have selected you for a mission that will put you directly into the cross-hairs of both the military and werewolf radicals alike!

You're a new breed of lupine explorer, your hunting grounds an urban jungle of steel and concrete. When your expedition to a forbidden military base goes wrong, a startling discovery sparks an escalation of violence and tragedy that will lead your pack to the hungry maw of war.

• Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bisexual.

• Train in the path of the warrior, the shadow, or the sage.
• Fight your enemies with claw and fang, or take a non-lethal approach.
• Uncover the true motivations of a powerful anti-werewolf zealot.
• Explore several potential romances, finding love in an increasingly chaotic world.

Once hunted and imprisoned, the werewolves rise again!

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic and nuanced storytelling that excels at making your decisions have consequences. My first playthrough felt more like a book I dictated than a typical CYOA where you can sense that the plot advances in a certain way regardless of your actions. I can't fault the tease of giving part of chapter 4 when they promised 3 free chapters. At 8 CAD, it's fairly pricey, especially given that this is seemingly the first book of many (hopefully). Recommended, if you don't mind the price!

Fantastic read. Very High replayability. I absolutely loved how much depth the role-playing had and how agonizing decisions were. I very much hope to see a part 2. Endings (there are 6) are on a slight cliff-hanger. Annoying but pretty awesome. Also, it isnt exactly cheap but you get 17 or so more chapters. Takes about 3-5 hours to fully complete it. Im a fast reader though so expect to put some time in.

This is an amazing game. A small purchase unlocks hours of story, and when you finish it, there are lots of different endings. Each ending is full of story, and is is truly worth it to keep replaying it. But the best part by far is the story. It shows the truth about what it would be like to be oppressed under the human government, branded as monsters, and repressing the beast within, all while fighting for a better future for your race.
