David Flynn80 / 100"Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest is a great visual novel with tons of impactful choices, great visuals, and excellent sound design. While it slowly loses steam...
TheSixthAxis
Nick Petrasiti6 / 10"Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Wolf has a lot of promise, starting out very strong but it's ultimately let down by what feels like a very rushed last couple of chapters."
Attack of the Fanboy
Tasha Quinn"With a unique art style, effective use of sound and plenty of lore, Heart of the Forest is well worth checking out if you're a fan of visual novels and the werewolf genre...

I am very torn tbh.
The game itself has many good qualities, I liked the graphics, the overall story is okay, the sound is good and the atmosphere pulls you in.
The problem is that once you play more the the first playthrough, the game kinda starts to crumble. Even after 6 runs i still don't understand the clan system, how the characters are connected to each other (or even just who is who?), some storypoints don't make sense as certain things haven't happened but still have an impact later on, the stats are not explained super well, i still don't feel like i 100% know how they work.
Another issue is that it almost seems like you have to play this game with a guide if you don't want to waste 100s of hours getting all endings/ achievements. Some presets for endings feel very specific and not like somthing you would randomly achieve.
i played the whole thing with a guide after my first playthrough (each run takes about 90 minutes). The game certainly doesn't gain anything prositive from being played to many times either as you eventually just end up clicking through the same wall of text for the xth time with little change.
If you are looking to play the story once i think it is worth it, for everything more than that the game is very tedious and not necessarily what i'd want to spend my time on.

Interesting stories and choices, doesn't take long to get into the fun stuff either.

Short but very entertaining story. More an interactive book than an actual RPG, though, the stats are pretty useless.
