Forgotten Fables: Wolves on the Westwinda very present sound environment
Key asset of the game, its sound environment both in terms of sound effects and music. In terms of sound effects, each scene is accompanied by a rather successful sound effect. In the countryside, you hear the rustling of the wind in the trees and the birds singing. At banquets, you hear the guests chatting and the musicians playing their instruments. The hubbub of the market, the sound of iron clashing during battles, the crackling fire, the rushing sea, in short, you are truly immersed in the game.
On the music side, we find a medieval and Nordic atmosphere. The drums resound during the fights, the violins are strident during the moments of tension and know how to be softer when the calm moments arrive. We find in Wolves of the Westwind a soundtrack of excellent quality worthy of the greatest medieval RPGs like Skyrim, The Witcher or Kingdom Come Deliverance. The main theme of the game is really addictive, a feast for the ears!
Forgotten Fables: Wolves on the Westwinda good story in the Nordic region
Wolves of the Westwind is a very good visual novel, the story is gripping, the game immerses us in a good atmosphere, the music is of remarkable quality. The game has, a priori, no default, but you still have to look for the little beast. I would say the game is for people with a very good level in English or German. These are currently the only two languages available in the game. The less English-savvy among us will risk missing out on this wonderful video game novel.
