About This Game

A QUEST OF SURVIVAL BEGINS

You are a gray wolf in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. Now dispersed from your natal pack, you're on your own – to hunt, explore, find a mate and form your own pack to raise up a new family. Can you and your little pack survive the trials of the wild?

LIVE THE LIFE OF A WILD WOLF

Surviving in the wilderness is far from easy! Hone your hunting skills by practicing on animals such as elk, mule deer, and moose. Once you've grasped their differences and know your limits against your selection of prey, seek out another wolf to become your mate and form a pack together. Explore fields and forests across Yellowstone National Park while you establish a territory and choose a den. Raise your pups by feeding them and playing with them. Protect them from deadly predators who try to kill them.

Over time, your family will outgrow the need for a den and move to a summer site, then become nomadic, where you teach your pups the lay of the land and how to catch their own prey. By next spring they will be yearlings, ready to put these new skills to use and help raise the next litter. Eventually, most will venture out on their own, just as you did all that time ago. 

And the cycle repeats, year after year, until you die. The Saga of your life begins and ends when you choose, be it one life only or a succession of multiple generations.

EXPERIENCE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Explore realistic recreations of select locations within Yellowstone National Park. Set in the Northern Range (often referred to as "the Serengeti of North America"), where many animals roam meadows, sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests, and high ridges.

But be wary – you are not the only wolf in the area. Rival packs make their home across the landscape and don't take kindly to sight-seeing intruders. Other dangers roam the lands as well – grizzly bears, cougars, and coyotes among them who will vie with you for territory and food.
