Chronicles of the Wolf: A Dark Tale Inspired by History & Mystery

It's not too long to go until the 19th June 2025, when Chronicles of the Wolf officially launches on Steam. To prepare you for this epic adventure, it would only be fitting to give a brief insight into the bloody history that inspired the journey you will undertake with Mateo Lombardo.

Chronicles of the Wolf teleports you into a world where myth bleeds into reality. The immersive metroidvania gameplay is weaved with two powerful strands of real-world lore: the secretive Rose Cross Order and the chilling legend of the Beast of Gévaudan.

🐺 The Beast of Gévaudan: Real-World Horror

Between 1764 and 1767, rural France was gripped by terror. A monstrous creature stalked the countryside, killing over 100 people. It was no ordinary wolf. Survivors described it as massive, unnatural with reddish fur and an almost human-like posture. Today, it’s remembered as the Beast of Gévaudan, a historical mystery that is still prominent in modern pop-culture and folklore across the globe.

In the game, the Beast is more than a myth; it is your nightmare, stalking you as you progress. You will always be thinking,"who is hunting who?"Each boss fight, environmental hazard and haunting ruin you encounter builds toward a showdown with this legendary terror. Will you face it with courage or, succumb to it's hunger like it's many victims?
