There was a time at the height of vampire fandom because of the Twilight series (and before that, Underworld) that werewolves were trying to be the alternative bad boy in pop culture and for a time, they were a little successful. Well if you’ve always preferred your Jacob Blacks to your Edward Cullens (wait, why do we even know these things?) then this new Android game should appeal to you.
Werewolf Tycoon is a stealth stimulation game that lets you live your dream to become half man half lycan, at least digitally. The rules of the game are pretty simple. You’re a werewolf and you need to eat people up. That’s it. Oh, except you need to remain hidden while doing so. You hide behind bushes and pounce on unsuspecting passers by in Werewolf Park (now why you’d want to walk through a park that is thus named is beyond us).
If any of your victims escape, the media will arrive. And if they manage to take pictures of you in your werewolf form, then there will be consequences and you will be the hunted one. Don’t expect amazing graphics or complicated gameplay from this game. Their creators, developers Joe Williamson and Sam Twidale, actually came up with this game in their last year at university, and now it’s here for your howling enjoyment.
Werewolf Tycoon is available for download from Google Play Store. And the good news is that it’s absolutely free. So go ahead and enjoy being A/An (insert nationality here) Werewolf in Werewolf Park. Just don’t expect to find your Bella Swan here (again, why do we keep referencing Twilight. Ugh).
