Imagine living in a medieval village from which your friends and neighbors are quickly disappearing, snatched away by terrifying werewolves. If one knew where the filthy beasts had their lair, it would be one thing, but in this scenario, there is no lair; the werewolves live among us. Which of our smiling acquaintances is it? Who is it that morphs into the deadly werewolf when no one's watching? Is it me? Is it you?
This is the basic premise behind Werewolves Within Trophies, an upcoming party game created by Ubisoft for the VR. It's up to you to decide in whom the danger lies.
An online game for five to eight people, Werewolves Within aims to replicate the feel of playing in a close group by taking advantage of positional tracking, character animation based on voice-inflection analysis, and natural gestures. To discover the disguised werewolves among them, players will need to draw on randomly assigned roles and abilities, as well as a guidebook filled with hints, all to inform a vote on who they think the werewolf is. Rounds are meant to be played quickly, throwing players into new roles and onto different sides and ensuring a different experience every time.
The game basically wants to bring the feel of a good old-fashioned board game to online play, a reality made possible with VR. Check out the dynamics in the following video.
Werewolves Within will be out this fall for the PS4 and VR.
