Gray Wolf. Grandma's Skin. Thirty Nights to Untangle the Ball of Intrigue in a Noir Fairytale Game with Elements of Crime Management When Wolf Fades.

It seems that our developers have a special affinity for criminal stories and the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. This is the second game this year that mixes these two elements. Only this time, the genre and the protagonist have changed.

When Wolf Fades is a noir story about criminal management, where the Gray Wolf finds himself in the guise of Grandma. Forget about the sweet old lady: Grandma in When Wolf Fades is a toothy kingpin of a City mired in corruption and cynicism. Taking her place, the Wolf will have to sort through criminal cases and manage the entire city.

Here, gnomes do the dirty work, a Mermaid traffics contraband through the port, the Tooth Fairy runs nightclubs, and Morozko knows how to keep a body fresh. Especially if that body knew too much.

The problem is that orders come not just from his own. The Wolf has two gangs in his lineup: the loyal team of Red Caps serving Grandma and the wolves from the dark alleys. Of course, they don’t know about each other. Exposure could cost Gray his life.

To survive, you'll have to be nimble: manage Grandma's criminal empire, command the gnomes, keep the wolf pack in check, deal with competitors, evade the police, and prevent either side from learning the truth.

The goal is clear: survive 30 days until the full moon, take control of the Black City, and ensure that no one discovers who is really hiding behind Grandma's glasses.

A noir story of power, lies, and survival

You have one month. Exactly thirty days until the next full moon. Thirty days to hold the empire, keep the city from devouring you alive, and uncover the secret that pulls the strings from the darkness.

Death is already on your tail.

The police are sniffing around.

Competitors are sharpening their knives.

Allies are grinning too widely.

And your gangs could render your verdict if they find out who’s really hiding under Grandma’s bonnet.

One mistake, and the story is over.
