Project WerewØlf
Introduction:
Overview:
The world, while resembling contemporary society, is profoundly influenced by the existence of werewolves—mythical beings capable of shifting between human and wolf forms allowing them to integrate into both human communities and feral wolf packs. Historically viewed as monsters, feared and demonized, werewolves have undergone significant changes in their societal status, influenced by government actions, cultural perceptions, and evolving public attitudes. Deeply rooted in human history, culture, and society, Project Werew0lf is a fictional world for character building and story telling, set in a dark, noir, dystopian variation of our world where Monsters roam free. Man? Or wolf? It’s up to you to decide who’s the real monsters are.
