Somehow, you ended up as a werewolf. Not the cool kind you see in films, nor the terrifying ones from cliché horror stories, but the sort that had to be rescued by the police after getting their head stuck in a bin.

The judge decided you were too untrustworthy to handle your “capabilities” alone and shipped you off to a community pack. Think of it as an orphanage, but with adults who bury chicken bones in the garden for fun. That’s where you meet Archie – the director of this totally-not-a-rescue-centre and your very self-declared best mate. After reviewing your CV, he assigns you the most soul-crushing job imaginable: grocery shopping.

Or so you thought. Soon, you’ll have to juggle a miserable budget, dodgy poisonous foods, and (possibly self-proclaimed) starving wolves. And, for reasons no one really understands, supermarkets only stay open for about two minutes. Can you keep the pack happy?

This is a short game (around 10 minutes) playable entirely with the mouse. Click on an item to see its details; if you want to buy it, press the “buy” button. Otherwise, move on to the next item. Sounds easy, right? But pay close attention to the information shown – it might drive you to a disaster.

You’re playing a preliminary version of the game. Everything should work and it’s “mostly” bug-free, but the balance isn’t final, so chasing a perfect score is currently very challenging (something that will be tweaked).

Thank you for giving it a go – any comments or suggestions are very welcome!
