Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Gaia

Maybe it's something in the water. Maybe it's those long months stuck out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by snow. Or maybe, at their root, they're just a bunch of weirdos. Whatever the cause, the fact is that the folks at DreamForge Intertainment in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, are tapping into some weird crevices of their minds to create some of the most memorably twisted computer games around right now.

DreamForge's previous game was the brilliant, nightmarish Sanitarium, which just tied with LucasArts' Grim Fandango for CGW's Best Adventure Game of the Year award, elsewhere in this issue. Now the team is hard at work on its next game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Gaia. And after braving the freezing weather and spending some time with the team, I'm here to report that the fevered minds at DreamForge have another disturbing experience on their hands. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
