I am a werewolf enthusiast and I felt very immersed in the VN, the soundtrack also helped a lot with said immersion. I loved the way they portrayed the werewolf society in the game. The only negative thing I have to say about the game is the lack of a save feature... if you want to explore other branches further in the story you have to replay it from the start.

The atmosphere the prose, music and art create here are delicious, but the story is far too short. It feels like a prologue to a longer, more epic tale. Right as I really felt like we were sinking our teeth into the setting, it ends! Still, they've created something nice here. You can read through it in a couple hours, and it's worth doing.

I cant say I was bored, but something was definitely missing. My biggest problem is that for a werewolf game you didnt really get to be a werewolf for most of the game. Some of the political stuff and plot did seem a bit weird at times but not to a point where it ruined the experience. I would probably not recommend the game but I wont go as far as to say its a waste of time and/or money.

As far as virtual CYOAs go, this stands out above most of the others. Ask yourself this - if you were at a used book sale and you found something for $1.50 that told a good story which incorporated an awesome location (Białowieża - Europe's largest surviving primordial forest), crazy werewolf lore, a journey of self-discovery, and modern political struggles all at once, but also had fantastically good illustrations, and on top of that played an absolute banger from a Belarusian fantasy-folk band (Irdorath, who spent two years in prison for protesting their government) as you finished up, you'd call that a good deal, right? That's what this game is. More than worth the pittance it goes for on sale. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the mood for a CYOA.

Heart of the forest might have ruined the interactive novel style games for me. I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. It remembers it is a game, even if it a simple one. It understands it is a short narrative about choice and does it well. To the point that another World of Darkness game of a similar style (I brought both at the same time) fell completely flat by comparison. Despite me preferring the other game-line (Vampire) considerably! On sale I fully recommend it, even if you only get one play-through (about three hours) of fun out of it. If you like it, you will probably get two (approx. six hours). It was my first on steam, and might be one of my last.
