I The pilgrim’s night

The village has
barred its gates.
You must go out.

You are Sigismund, a pilgrim who reaches a village at dusk. Three children are missing, and the woods have begun to howl again.

Follow the villagers’ clues beyond the last lanterns. Search winding paths and abandoned dwellings. Find the children, keep them close, and lead them back through the village gate.

The forest is alive. And something in it is listening.

II Every light casts a shadow

The hunt

It follows light, sound and scent.
You will need more than a sharp blade.

A small relic on an abandoned farmhouse shelf, revealed by the warm light of the player’s lantern.
A light in the darkLantern lit

01 / Light & concealment

See what’s hidden.
Be seen.

A relic on a forgotten shelf. A path through the woods. Your lantern reveals what you need to find—and makes you easier to spot. Shutter the flame when concealment matters more than sight.

Open and shutter the lantern. The same room, the same view, captured in game.

Three children following the pilgrim along a dark woodland path.

02 / The rescue

Finding them is
only the beginning.

Fear can slow the children or send them running. Stay close, find a moment of shelter, and guide them home together.

A watchtower bell and its guard, with the dark forest stretching beyond the railing.

03 / The hunter

Listen for the bells.
Watch the treeline.

Break its trail. Draw it away with a stone. Lay a trap to buy a few precious seconds. The werewolf searches the places you hide.

The modest monastery chapel, its doorway warmly lit against the night.

There is still a light to return to

Not every door
is closed to you.

The monastery offers refuge. Prayer, sacred places, and ordinary human kindness hold their ground against the dark.

Before you venture out

A few things
to know.

What kind of game is Wulfnacht?

A single-player, first-person folk-horror game about finding three missing children and guiding them home. Exploration, stealth, limited supplies, and a werewolf that responds to sight, sound and scent shape your journey.

When can I play?

A release date hasn’t been announced. The Steam page is being prepared, and you can request an invitation to an early playtest above.

Do I have to fight the werewolf?

Fighting is dangerous, and you do not have to rely on it. Hiding, distractions, traps, and refuge can help you survive the hunt.

Will every journey be the same?

Each seed shapes the forest’s layout, routes and search locations. The story remains the same, but the paths you learn can change.

Who is making the game?

Wulfnacht is made by Will at Compy Byte Interactive, an independent game studio.
