    About the game

    You play a wild wolf in Yellowstone. You hunt elk and other prey, find a mate, pick a den and raise pups. Rival packs, bears and cougars share the land and compete with you for food. The game also works fully alone.

    Online, you join a pack of up to eight players. Pack Life is an open mode for hunting, exploring and chatting. Territory Acquisition sets your pack against three computer-run packs. In Saga Year, two to five of you raise one litter through a game year. Full Saga is for exactly two, who raise litter after litter until one wolf dies of old age.

    If most of the pack howls at once, everyone gets a stamina boost. Chat is text only. Everyone needs their own copy of the game and a game account. A Saga year takes about 6 to 8 hours at normal speed.
