Wolfsbane
Wolfsbane is predominantly an adventure game, which plays for the most part similarly to point-and-click examples of the genre, despite the unusual side-scrolling perspective. The player must explore the town, talk to its inhabitants, and gather information and items in order to solve the mystery. The game utilizes a branching dialogue system. It also has action elements, present in the sporadic combat and a health meter for Axel.

About This Game
Axel, a merchant traveling alone after nightfall, is savagely attacked by a werewolf and barely escapes with his life. The near-death encounter leaves behind a curse: Axel is himself beginning to transform. If he cannot break the curse before midnight, the change will be permanent and irreversible. The only way to lift it is to find the werewolf who bit him — but the creature has concealed itself among the everyday people of a quiet medieval town. Axel must identify which one of his neighbors is the monster before his time runs out.
