About
Full moon. Cold night. Dark shadow. Warm gun. The Beast of Glenkildove has stalked Ireland for centuries. Now, you must hunt it.
Hunter: The Reckoning — The Beast of Glenkildove is an interactive novel by William Brown, set in the World of Darkness. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Eight years ago, when you were eighteen, the Beast of Glenkildove killed one of your closest friends. You've never returned to Ireland since that day.
It's difficult to remember what happened. As you'll soon learn, the human mind blots out the traumatic memories of facing a werewolf.
Now, you must stalk that werewolf across the shadowed glens and fogbound mountains of Ireland, hunting a shapeshifting killing machine with your friends, your wits, and a shotgun.
But you and your friends are not alone. You have entered a world of Hunters, humans who dare to challenge the dominion of the monsters who rule over them. Can you trust the fanatics of the Society of Leopold, the scholars and savants of the Arcanum, the ruthless Duffy crime family, or the enigmatic biotech company Fada?
Can you even trust your oldest friends?
Redemption for some. Retribution for others. A reckoning for all.

Very peak, read the other WoD interactives they are also very peak and worth the time and commitment
Great mystery/hunt set in the World of Darkness, mostly within rural Ireland. Mostly Hunter the Reckoning but there are many World of Darkness elements scattered throughout. Some good story options and a great example of how people view creatures/events differently.
Good story. I missed lots of stuff because my stats weren't high enough, which was annoying. No achievement for getting an ending, and achievements seem to be very hard to get.

Fantastic world building and overall a great addition to the CoG World of Darkness games. Where Beast of Glenkildove shines is that each decision feels extremely impactful and bearing weight. My only minor criticisms are that right at the end of the game (perhaps because a climax needed to be reached), certain weighty outcomes didn't quite have time to mature before the game reached its conclusion.
good enough to recommend.
Excellent Read, good story and satisfying conclusion.
Don't expect a video game, expect a text-based RPG in the style of old "choose your own adventure" books. It's a great adventure!
The author seems to have a problem with Carl Jung. O_o
It's good, enjoyed it. :) Good story too
This text-based RPG is able to deliver a wealth of choice to really shape a supernatural adventure that feels your own with intriguing options to explore, creatively building on some great Irish mythology with a bit of IT flavour. This plays with lots of World of Darkness elements in interesting ways that either provides a neat intro to the universe, or should excite fans who know about its different settings.
