Wolfquest free download?

[PBG Hawkeye]

Will wolfquest start out as a free download, or will it cost something?

There will be two versions of the same game available. Like the Itch.io storefront (http://eduweb.itch.io/wolfquest), one will be available to download and play for free, while the other will require a one-off purchase.

Just in case anyone is interested, here are some of the differences between the two:

Demo/Free Trial

(Cost: Free!)

• Full Amethyst Mountain episode, which can be completed.
  
• Coat selection is limited to the original five pelts.
  
• Seven new howls, plus the original howl.
  
• Plus more improvements to the game.

The demo is completely free and can be played at no cost. However, some features are locked or otherwise unavailable.

Full Game

(Cost: $10)

• Full Slough Creek episode, allowing players to migrate from Amethyst Mountain and continue to progress in the next level.
  
• All-new Lost River map, set in a valley somewhere outside of Yellowstone National Park.
  
• Twenty additional coats to choose from, including new pelts and scarred/injured varieties.
  
• Customizations - Radio collar, four ear types (Notched, Torn, Bent and Flat) and "Limpy[wolfquest.wikia.com]".
  
• Account-only features. (Achievements that are also tied to Steam, friend system, messaging and an in-game pack system. Accounts are no longer tied to the WolfQuest Community Forums and must be registered in-game.)
  
• Multiplayer. (A WolfQuest 2.7 account is required.)

More information is available in this entry[wolfquest.org] of the WolfQuest FAQ.

WQ 2.7 costs $10. Is it worth it?[wolfquest.org]

Definitely worth buying.

I loved this game in middleschool and am surprised to see it on Steam for $10 since it used to be free. I'm glad to know they kept a free version and added content to the paid version!

Hopefully WQ's presence on Steam will attract new players! It's a really cute game for roleplaying as a realistic animal in maps modeled after real places. I recommend it as someone who likes games like The Endless Forest and Impressive Title/FeralHeart.
