A Werewolf in Charleston

A Werewolf in Charleston is a mature horror-thriller visual novel that places players inside a tense Southern Gothic mystery about identity, politics, and violent transformation. Players take the role of Anthony 'Andy' Crane, the bishop's son whose life unravels when he uncovers a shocking truth about himself and a growing werewolf crisis in the nation. The game delivers branching choices, atmospheric writing, and morally fraught gameplay; optional visual censorship can hide explicit imagery while preserving the written content.
