MAW Demo Launch!

MAW · published 9 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Heyo! For the past year or so I have been hard at work on my new game, MAW, and today I’m proud to announce that you can play the first chapter of MAW as a free demo! This game is something a fair bit different from my other games, but it’s still a very personal project for me, as all my games are… well maybe this one might be a little bit more personal 😅

What is MAW?

MAW is a narrative driven adventure about a queer wolf detective exploring his identity in a totalitarian regime. You will be solving cases using animal abilities, sniffing for clues, licking for information and overall being a (good boy) wolf detective, while also keeping your identity hidden from the state… and your mother.

What is in the demo?

The MAW demo features the first episode of what is to be a 7-chapter long story. This first episode is an introduction to the story, world, some of the characters and detective mechanics (like sniffing and licking)! You will be investigating a case of a missing girl, as well as dealing with some personal dilemma.

If this kind of game, as they say… tickles your pickle, please, give MAW a shot! It takes about 15 minutes to play through the demo, but there are different ways to approach this first case! All the characters and interactions react to your choices and personality, so feel free to experiment :3

I would be super happy to hear your thoughts on the demo, please do share your ideas in my new discord server and make sure to leave a review on Steam. It really does help a lot when it comes to the Steam algorithm. Thankies :3

Also... a new trailer just dropped 🐺

Play the demo!

Awooo for the Shepherd!
