During the fight, the player’s control is limited to changing the position of the wolf’s tail, from raised (aggressive) to lowered (submissive, surrendering.)Īfter raising his wolf to the alpha status, the player can mate with an alpha of the opposite sex if conditions are favorable. Within his pack, the wolf can challenge other wolves in order to rise in the pack hierarchy. A wolf’s injuries heal automatically if he is well-fed. After killing the animal, the wolf can eat to satisfy his hunger. The chance of success is the greater, the stronger the wolf is and the more packmates are in the vicinity. Smaller animals are killed instantly if the wolf manages to grab them, while the larger ones need to be successfully worried to death, and the unlucky wolf can potentially get injured in the attempt. Hunting (whether small game such as rabbits, or large beasts such as deer) is done by clicking on the prey animal to make the wolf pounce. The wolf also has a “sixth sense” which warns him about the presence of nearby humans. Using the senses show the rough direction, distance and nature of a given object of interest. The senses include hearing, smelling, looking and following tracks. There are several senses available to the wolf which allow detecting nearby things, such as animals, water or humans. Several movement speed are possible, with the fastest (running) depleting the wolf’s stamina level. Moving around is done by directing the wolf with the mouse cursor.

There are three different regions available, corresponding to three species of wolf: arctic, timber and Great Plains wolf.

The game simulates all the aspects of a wolf’s life, including hunting, mating, and challenging the packmates.

The game offers both a free-form simulation mode, and various scenarios where the player must complete a specific objective within the allotted time. Wolf is an educational simulation game, in which the player takes control of a wolf.
