Hello!

We at Different Tales, are super proud we can be a publisher for Havendock. It'a a fun, cozy, and most importantly deeply immersive little sim, that let's you become a castaway creating its own haven in the middle of the ocean.

See the trailer:
[previewyoutube=WGQOr9BhH30;full][/previewyoutube]
In Havendock you can create your own character, collect resources, build facilities and farms, arrange your settlement, raise and feed animals, as well as welcome new survivors.
You will need to manage your tasks and production to keep everyone happy and healthy, but don't worry - everything is cozy and easy to learn - especially when playing with friends!

That's right - Havendock also let's you play in co-op as part of its experimental multiplayer mode, and the entire game will be growing in quality and size alongside its early access development plans.


Now, when the game is available in Early Access on Steam, we can't wait to hear the players great stories they will be able to live by themselves while playing Havendock.

We're always looking out for rad devs making different games this Next Fest, we thought you'd be interested in trying...

Havendock: a colony sim that stays approachable as things get wild.

• Go from castaway, to fledgling settlement, to high-tech society.
  
• Manage manufacturing, resource distribution, and healthcare.
  
• Befriend a penguin, grow fresh burgers, disco with the gang.
  

Hello, players all around the world!

Our friends at Draw Distance just released their latest title - Serial Cleaners! It's dark and grim, but most definitely it's a super fun game to spend some autumn evening with. As you might remember they're the team behind some other visual novel titles from the World of Darkness - Coteries of the New York and Shadows of the New York.

[previewyoutube=LKxlK-hGr0U;full]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKxlK-hGr0U[/previewyoutube]
As you can see they like blood a lot & we bet that the Vampires from Coteries would like this one a lot as well

We highly recommend checking #SerialCleaners on Steam right now!

Hi, gamers from all around the world!

We're excited to announce our End of Spring Event here on Steam. We've discounted some of our greatest titles as part of this celebration, including an action-adventure game "LIBERATED" and a horror visual novel based on the tabletop RPG system - "Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest".
If you already have some of our titles in your Steam library you can purchase the rest with an additional 10% discount, so it's a great opportunity to complete your games collection.
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21911/Walkabout_Collection/

For the owners of the Steam Deck we have some great news, as of lately Liberated officially supports the platform thanks to the device's Proton tool, but as we know from some really cool sources at Kotaku - Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest and the Wanderlust series are highly playable as well thanks to the device's touchscreen controls and full support for the Linux platform. They're great to experience on the go, and from the comfort of your bed ;)

As part of the celebration, we'd also love to ask you to share your best moments from one of our games - make a screenshot, a fanart, or maybe even show your cosplay of one of our characters! We're waiting for your creations! Share it on social media of your choice and add #WalkaboutGames or tag us at @Walkabout_Games on Twitter or @WalkaboutGames on Facebook. We can't wait to see your creativity in action!

• And if you already played Heart of the Forest or its demo, then you know that we do not need to recommend it you no more ;)
  

Hello, World of Darkness fans!

Were super happy to announce that now during our big Winter Sale - Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest is available with a 60% discount for everyone!

As usual, we kindly remind you about the great gifts from WereSanta left under the tree. It's the Digital Goodies Pack DLC, that you can grab on Steam for free!

This collection of extras contains tons of artwork and behind-the-scenes materials for Werewolf: The Apocalypse Heart of the Forest, including:

• Premium wallpapers using the iconic collage style of the game.
  
• Player's Guide, which dives into the lore and mechanics of Heart of the Forest as well as its real-life inspirations.
  
• Dev Diaries, a series of 14 video interviews with Werewolf's lead designer Artur Ganszyniec, who answers the frequently asked questions about the game.
  

We've always thought that Halloween is one of the coolest holidays you can imagine. You get to dress as a monster and collect candy around the neighborhood. Fun! But here in Poland (where our Different Tales studio is located), we only knew it from TV. In our culture, we do celebrate the dead around this time, but in a wholly different manner.

For a person from outside the Slavic region, the Poles' traditional approach to faith and death may seem a bit stiff. We don't sing too many uplifting songs in our churches, and the mass is less about being with the community than about diving into your inner self and quietly contemplating your soul. This is also how we honor our dead.

On November 1, we celebrate All Saints' Day, which is a public holiday. Its name is self-explanatory, however, on November 2, there's All Souls' Day. This is the proper date when we should honor the departed. These two have mixed in the public consciousness and what we got is two days of not-quite-Halloween.

On those days, Poles light candles on the graves of their close ones. It is also customary to put a candle on unattended graves, under crosses or statues, or graves of unknown soldiers (which are a common sight, considering the scope of the tragedy of World War II in Poland). This results in truly breathtaking views of cemeteries sparkling with thousands and thousands of lights.

We don't dress up or throw parties on All Saints' / Souls Day. Still, the atmosphere is hardly grim. It's a paradox, but it's when life is truly bustling. Thousands visit the cemeteries, there's so much positivity and openness around, and the bright aura seen in the evening is a sight to behold. Even if you're not a religious person yourself its hard not to get captivated by the spirit of this day.

We presume that what you read above is a common tradition across the Slavic countries, however, we only speak from our own perspective.
What do you do in your country around Halloween? Let us know your traditions in the comments and enjoy this little discount "treat" for the game itself from us for this occasion:

Exactly one year ago, we've released the very first Werewolf: The Apocalypse video game in history!

Now - one year later, we can honestly say that we couldn't be happier about the influence the game created. Not only did the Different Tales team won one of the most important cultural awards in Poland - Paszporty Polityki, as well as the Best Game Design Award at the Dev.Play 2020 Digital Awards, but the game gained such a great reaction and feedback from you - the players, which we couldn't even imagine.


The project itself was super important and personal for the Different Tales team, as the game writer Marta Malinowska said during the speech at the Paszporty Polityki Awards:
This is a game about rage, and about turning it into something good. I want to dedicate it to all the people who took their anger this year, took to the streets, and decided to do something about the surrounding reality.


During this year, we have been improving the game experience for the PC players - we've released a free goodies pack here on Steam, and later on added the support for the Steam badges, backgrounds, trading cards, and emojis.
At the beginning of this year, we've released the game for the console players on Nintendo Switch, Playstation, and Xbox platforms... and maybe in the future, there will come another platform the game could be released on ;)

We're also super happy that after the release of Heart of the Forest so many players got the ability to know more about "Werewolf: The Apocalypse" from the World of Darkness. With the release of "Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood" game, "World of Darkness: Crimson Thaw" comic (did you heard about it? It looks super cool!), and soon the release of fifth edition of the tabletop RPG - we're sure the different flavors of each will make its fans and expand the imagination of another generation around the whole world.

Thank you for playing,
Different Tales and Walkabout Games

Hello travelers from so many different and unique places around the world!

We're super happy to be able to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Different Tales' very first game - Wanderlust: Travel Stories. It was a real pleasure and a very experiencing journey for us all, as it was our (Walkabout Games) first published title as well!



We would like to thank all the players that have joined this journey in the comfort of their own homes playing the game on their PC's or during travel - while playing the mobile version of the game, or trying it on a laptop or handheld like the Steam Deck that will soon hit the market. Thank you for trust, believing in our vision of Slow Gaming, and supporting our teams even so long after the release.

We're super proud of what we've managed to achieve working together on this title, and what have came afterward (Hello Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest).
And if you're thinking - what's next coming from these guys? We just have this simple answer for now - you never know what's waiting for you just around the corner ;)

Thank you for being with us, and joining us on this very unique journey!
Walkabout Games Team

Wolf Pack! Were beyond excited to tell you that Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest has won Polityka's Passport, Polands no. 1 culture award, in Digital Culture.

To quote the organizer, we got it for creating immersive tales based on text, economically using video and audio, and masterfully utilizing the video game medium. And we had one tough competition: Ovid Works (Metamorphosis) and One More Level (Ghostrunner).

[h3]Lets give the floor to the team.[/h3]

This is a game about rage, and about turning it into something good. I want to dedicate it to all the people who took their anger this year, took to the streets, and decided to do something about the surrounding reality.
Marta Malinowska, Writer

Marta referred to mass Womens Strike protests, which sparked all over Poland after a total government ban on abortion in 2020.

"We tackled the themes of ecology, identity, history, and different faces of activism. The fact such a game was awarded proves that digital culture has an equal voice in the public space to literature, film, or music that comments on our reality.
Artur Ganszyniec, Creative Director & Writer

This award is, to me and to the team, a strong indicator that we should continue on our path of experimentation with the medium.
Jacek Brzeziski, Director & Programmer

All in all, the fact such a game was awarded proves that digital culture has an equal voice in the public space to literature, film, or music that comments on our reality. We are very happy to receive it, and proud that we had a chance to tell about the situation in Poland, creating a story with universal appeal.

Our Wanderlust games are all about travelling. And a fun thing about travelling is collecting SOUVENIRS! And we bring you the closest thing you can have in a video game about globetrotting.

[h3]Wanderlust trading cards, badges, emojis, and free wallpapers, are now available on Steam![/h3]

Its the time of the year! The strange moon phase that makes prices shrink. Use this time to save 10% on Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest.

Its a great time to play also because of the autumn feel. The leaves are falling, the wind is howling. You cant dream of a better mood to enter the world of Werewolf.

If you already own the game, then recommend it to your friends. This might be the impulse that turns them into fans of the classic tabletop Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

Hi there!

Its a special occasion - the final episode of our Dev Diary series! We wanted to end it with a bang, so we decided to ask Artur a very tricky question: what Werewolf tribe would he belong to?

Try to guess before you watch! Also, heres a link to the whole Dev Diary series.

[previewyoutube=VbhgWFsGH-Y;full][/previewyoutube]

And now we ask this question to you: what tribe would be yours?

Leave your comment below, and also post your Steam review if you havent already. Awoo!

Until next time!
Piotr from Walkabout Games

Good news!

Our first patch is already live for Windows, macOS & Linux, and that's in large part thanks to YOU. How come? That's because a big chunk of all the changes was based on your feedback! That's right, you helped us make the game better. Isn't that awesome?

Here's what we changed. BEWARE OF SPOILERS!
(We cant avoid them due to the nature of the game.)

Are you ready?

Are you sure you want to see them?

Last chance

Okay, here we go:

• Improved the conditions to unlock the grandfather's tribe.
  
• Fixed the dialogue line when going to look for Daniel.
  
• Fixed Anya's goodbye when she's antagonized toward the player.
  
• Transformation descriptions now appear also when calling the NEW_FORM() function.
  
• Edited the banner hanging scene.
  
• Edited the unicorn conversation.
  
• Increased the chance for Bartek to die during the hunt.
  
• Fixed the amount of Rage gained during the conversation with Olga.
  
• Fixed the function to calculate Honor.
  
• Various punctuation fixes.
  
• Edited the conversations about Kornel's former pack.
  
• Removed the unnecessary display of Rage during the visions.
  

Hi there, World of Darkness fans!

We have some fresh data about the way you played Heart of the Forest, and boy, did it surprise us!

Just to recap: the game features more than 200,000 ways leading to one of the 5 main endings, and you can deeply personalize your character and playthrough.

So, for a game about RAAAGE, its surprising that you frequently chose more peaceful approaches!

Many players preferred to negotiate over going frenzy and attacking everything that moves. This is expressed in the auspices under which your Maias were born. See below.



Heres the glossary for those who are still new to the World of Darkness.

• Ragabash: A child born on the new moon, destined to be a master of stealth, trickery, and guile. Such werewolves are known as Questioners of the Ways, and they are granted latitude to break or at least bend the rules of Garou society that other werewolves are not.
  
• Theurge: Garou born under the crescent moon. Ritualists, spirit-masters, shamans, and mystics. The wan light of the crescent moon illuminates the spirits and the riddles they tell.
  
• Philodox: Werewolves born under the half-moon. Judges and balancers. Caught between extremes man and wolf, Garou and human, adaptation and tradition, spirit and flesh such Garou have to be able to make wise decisions on behalf of their fellows.
  
• Galliards: Werewolves born under the gibbous moon. Renowned for their memories and their creativity, they are destined to be storytellers and lore keepers/
  
• Ahroun: Garou born under the full moon. They are spirit warriors, the deadliest and most vicious of their kind.
  

[h3]How are you today, Wolves?[/h3]
We're still excited after the launch of Heart of the Forest. And double so, now that we know that you liked our game!

Did you know that ScreenRant awarded us with a score of 8/10? They pointed out that The quality of the writing is fantastic and that Heart of the Forest is an engaging game that has a much-needed new perspective on the World of Darkness? Wow, right?

Anyway, we have more surprises for you, and this is one of them. Our Dev Diary series isn't over yet! Here's episode 13, where Artur shares his book recommendations for everyone who'd like to get into the right mindset before playing.

[previewyoutube=_nHwi1A0Vxg;full][/previewyoutube]

[h3]We hope you enjoyed it! There will be more. [/h3]
Before you go, please remember to review our game on Steam. And if you talk about it on social media, use the hashtag #WerewolfHOTF so we can see it and join the conversation.

What makes our game special is the fact that weve been Werewolf and World of Darkness nerds for 20+ years, and we finally feel at home. We wanted to give you a chance to experience what made us fall in love with the system: the ability to create your own stories.

[h2]We want to hear from you![/h2]
We can't wait to know more about your journey to the dark, mysterious Puszcza.

• What kind of person (or creature) will your Maia be?
  
• How will you approach your past?
  
• Will you embrace or dismiss your Rage?
  

Heres a THUNDER before the lightning that will be tomorrows release of Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest.

We invited Irdorath, a kickass fantasy-folk music band from Belarus, to play in our game! Were super happy to announce that their song Vaukalak is now a part of our OST.

[h3]Why Vaukalak? [/h3]
Because it is about a creature from Belarusian mythology: a person that transformed into a wolf using magic in order to punish his enemies. And our game happens to be set near the Polish-Belarusian border. We also sympathize with Belarusians, and we wanted to take this chance and promote their culture.

[previewyoutube=gsqsulWrhfQ;full][/previewyoutube]

Thats not all! We have a new weekly Dev Diary. This time, our lead designer Artur Ganszyniec answers the frequently asked question: Will hardcore fans enjoy Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest?

Dont forget to join us on 13th October on Steam, when we will stream the game live and discuss its production as well as their connection with the World of Darkness RPG universe.

Feel the Rage!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1342620/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__Heart_of_the_Forest/

Hi there!

Im Piotr from Walkabout Games. It's great to be here in the Steam Game Festival with Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest.

You can check out the preview by GamesRadar.

Or let me walk you through what's amazing about this for Werewolf fans like yourself!

Why not start by watching the trailer?
[previewyoutube=IwMxRFs8Tco;full][/previewyoutube]
Did you like it? I hope so! The art used to create it will also appear in the game.

You can wishlist the game on Steam right now, to be the first to know about its release on October 13, 2020.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1342620/Werewolf_The_Apocalypse__Heart_of_the_Forest/

[h2]So what is Heart of the Forest about?[/h2]

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest throws you deep into a primeval wilderness in the center of modern Europe. Its where the protectors of nature wage their ancient, neverending war against the forces of destruction.

You play as Maia, who comes to Poland hoping to trace her family roots. Trying to learn more about her ancestry, she will discover her familys dark secrets and reveal hidden truths about the last wilderness of Central Europe.



We decided to show real-world places of mystery and power into the game. We will also show you local legends, traditions, and the history of Polish-Belarusian borderlands.

When playing through the game, you will need to mind your statistics as they determine your available choices and influence the overall presentation of every scene.



Rage is your main resource. The higher your Rage, the more go-getting and aggressive you become. However, this makes your perception quite binary, and you become unable to see all the shades of grey. Low Rage brings empathy and openness but also makes you fearful and less willing to act.

Willpower is the resource you need to control yourself, and also to not get carried by your Rage. If you let it drop to zero, you wont be able to deal with many problems and situations. You gain Willpower by exploring the world, becoming better acquainted with it, and understanding it.

Personality describes the kind of person you are in the game world. There are 5 auspices available, which determine the ways you can approach any character, obstacle, or situation. Early in the game, your personality will be shaped by your natural choices. Later on, you will have to choose your auspice and determine your true nature.

[h2]Why did we choose Puszcza Bialowieska as the setting?[/h2]

The Bialowieza Forest, also known as the Puszcza or Puszcza Biaowieska, is one of the last primeval forests in Europe, located in Poland. Its a special place where nature exists in its most primal form right next to the big industry.



The Puszcza is a vast area full of myths and legends, which you will also find in our game. The first people settled here 2,000 years ago, but their presence remained relatively limited. This makes it a perfect setting for a World of Darkness story.

The forest is where the wild survive in large part because of human influences, as, in the light of the changing climate, care and protection are absolutely crucial for the ecosystem. In recent years, large protests were held in the Puszcza against deforestation. This lets us ask questions that have always been relevant to Werewolf: The Apocalypse.



Where should our interference in nature end?
Arent we morally bound to interfere?
How far would you go for a good cause?

[h2]And last but not least, the word from Artur Ganszyniec, co-founder of Different Tales[/h2]

Who couldve foreseen that one day Id be making a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game? And to think it all started with me being bit by a dog. Really!

It was in the 90s. I was walking back home from somewhere when a German shepherd grabbed me and tore my jeans. Its owner gave me money for a new pair. My mom stitched the pants together and I used the money to buy my first Werewolf: The Apocalypse rulebook.



Im not the only World of Darkness fan here, by the way. Everyone at Different Tales and Walkabout Games are avid players. Piotrek, Jacek, and I used to run sessions and write scenarios (Jacek, a fan of everything dark, also dabbling with Call of Cthulhu and Kult RPG ). Our writers Joanna and Marta were Werewolf players, both tabletop and LARP.

To us, creating this game is like a 20-year-old dream come true.

Were excited that we got this chance to tell you a story set in the world of Werewolf: the Apocalypse, and set in Poland. We believe that we have more than enough incredible stories and legends worth showcasing in our beloved universe.

Id like to also stress out that your opinion matters. Piotr is waiting for your feedback, and hell be glad to talk with you. Or to send you a funny gif.

Thanks for reading!
Artur



We would love to hear more from you.

[h2]So what is Heart of the Forest about?[/h2]

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest throws you deep into a primeval wilderness in the center of modern Europe. Its where the protectors of nature wage their ancient, neverending war against the forces of destruction.

You play as Maia, who comes to Poland hoping to trace her family roots. Trying to learn more about her ancestry, she will discover her familys dark secrets and reveal hidden truths about the last wilderness of Central Europe.



We decided to show real-world places of mystery and power into the game. We will also show you local legends, traditions, and the history of Polish-Belarusian borderlands.

When playing through the game, you will need to mind your statistics as they determine your available choices and influence the overall presentation of every scene.



Rage is your main resource. The higher your Rage, the more go-getting and aggressive you become. However, this makes your perception quite binary, and you become unable to see all the shades of grey. Low Rage brings empathy and openness but also makes you fearful and less willing to act.

Willpower is the resource you need to control yourself, and also to not get carried by your Rage. If you let it drop to zero, you wont be able to deal with many problems and situations. You gain Willpower by exploring the world, becoming better acquainted with it, and understanding it.

Personality describes the kind of person you are in the game world. There are 5 auspices available, which determine the ways you can approach any character, obstacle, or situation. Early in the game, your personality will be shaped by your natural choices. Later on, you will have to choose your auspice and determine your true nature.

[h2]Why did we choose Puszcza Bialowieska as the setting?[/h2]

The Bialowieza Forest, also known as the Puszcza or Puszcza Biaowieska, is one of the last primeval forests in Europe, located in Poland. Its a special place where nature exists in its most primal form right next to the big industry.



The Puszcza is a vast area full of myths and legends, which you will also find in our game. The first people settled here 2,000 years ago, but their presence remained relatively limited. This makes it a perfect setting for a World of Darkness story.

The forest is where the wild survive in large part because of human influences, as, in the light of the changing climate, care and protection are absolutely crucial for the ecosystem. In recent years, large protests were held in the Puszcza against deforestation. This lets us ask questions that have always been relevant to Werewolf: The Apocalypse.



Where should our interference in nature end?
Arent we morally bound to interfere?
How far would you go for a good cause?

[h2]And last but not least, the word from Artur Ganszyniec, co-founder of Different Tales[/h2]

Who couldve foreseen that one day Id be making a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game? And to think it all started with me being bit by a dog. Really!

It was in the 90s. I was walking back home from somewhere when a German shepherd grabbed me and tore my jeans. Its owner gave me money for a new pair. My mom stitched the pants together and I used the money to buy my first Werewolf: The Apocalypse rulebook.



Im not the only World of Darkness fan here, by the way. Everyone at Different Tales and Walkabout Games are avid players. Piotrek, Jacek, and I used to run sessions and write scenarios (Jacek, a fan of everything dark, also dabbling with Call of Cthulhu and Kult RPG ). Our writers Joanna and Marta were Werewolf players, both tabletop and LARP.

To us, creating this game is like a 20-year-old dream come true.

Were excited that we got this chance to tell you a story set in the world of Werewolf: the Apocalypse, and set in Poland. We believe that we have more than enough incredible stories and legends worth showcasing in our beloved universe.

Id like to also stress out that your opinion matters. Piotr is waiting for your feedback, and hell be glad to talk with you. Or to send you a funny gif.

Thanks for reading!
Artur
