Gameplay overview
Rebel Wolves describes two linked gameplay loops: human combat uses swordplay and magic during the day, while Coen's vampire form adds supernatural movement and powers at night. Accepting quests advances time, and both action and inaction change the world and the people available to help.
Story, setting, or main mode
Rebel Wolves sets Coen's story in Vale Sangora during a plague-stricken version of 14th-century Europe where vampires seize political power. Coen must save his family while deciding whether to preserve his humanity or embrace the abilities of a Dawnwalker.
