Play Wolfsbane Online

Wolfsbane is a side view adventure game released in 1995 for MS-DOS. Developed by Midnight Games and published by Merit Studios, Inc., it combines detective mystery, fantasy, and horror themes with puzzle solving mechanics. The narrative follows Axel, a man who has been bitten by a werewolf and must uncover the identity of the creature to reverse his condition.

Players control Axel as he explores a medieval town from a side scrolling perspective, interacting with the environment and its inhabitants in a manner similar to point and click adventures. The primary objective is to solve the mystery by gathering clues, collecting items, and engaging in conversations using a branching dialogue system. Progression is driven by investigating the town's residents, any of whom could be the hidden werewolf, and piecing together information from these interactions.

In addition to its investigative core, the game incorporates action elements including sporadic combat encounters. Axel has a health meter that must be managed during these sequences. The gameplay structure revolves around systematic exploration, inventory based puzzle solving, and navigating dialogue choices to advance the story and ultimately identify the perpetrator.
