Wolf Game Another

An alternate telling of the original *Wolf Game* story. STUDIO WASABI created *Wolf Game Another* (狼ゲームアナザー lit. *Ookami Geemu Anazaa*) due to the number of fans that wanted to see The Wolf Game with different characters as the Wolves and Sheep.

The premise is the same as the original *Wolf Game* and can be read on the original's page. This version introduces three new participants on top of all of the original participants, different murderers/story.

While *Wolf Game Another* can be played as a standalone game, STUDIO WASABI recommends that you play *Wolf Game* first. Outside of the different story developments and new characters, *Wolf Game Another* runs on a life system for playing sections of the story (similar to another of STUDIO WASABI's games, *Despair Prison*).

As of **July 31, 2020**, all main story sections in *Wolf Game Another* (including the *Phantom Wolf* story) consume 0 life points to play.

Side stories in *Wolf Game* were locked behind reading pre-requisite stories or a real-currency purchase, and were laid out on a content map. This has been changed in *Another* to suit a gachapon system. Certain side stories for each character are locked behind gacha costumes, though there are free character stories that can be purchased using the in-game currency. *Another* also features event stories that run for a limited period of time (usually about two weeks).

*Another* also displays two characters on the home screen that the player can trigger dialogues between. These dialogues will change for certain costumes and background configurations. Character still images can also be obtained as event rewards or from certain costume stories.

## Characters

*Wolf Game Another* introduces three completely new characters to the participant roster and, unlike in the original story, the protagonist/player character is revealed from the very start.

## Plot

### Chapter 1: The Wolf Game

The story begins in a burning room that looks like a kitchen. There's the sound of breaking glass and someone crying. The unknown person states that they're probably going to die soon, but that it's fine. The screen fades to some psychiatric ward in Tokyo where a man named Takeo Kojima is walking down the hall. He complains about his job and decides to go for a smoke when a person in a blue wolf mask appears, saying that he hasn't changed after all. He proceeds to knock Takeo out with a taser gun.

The screen cuts again to an outdoor scenery at sunset where a woman named Miho Kaidou is talking about a trial the next day. The same person in the blue mask appears again, asking her if she really thinks what she's doing can be considered justice before knocking her out as well. In the next scene, it's evening, and a man named Satoru Yonemori is seen lamenting his own existence. He happens upon a stray cat and asks it what it's living for before the masked person shows up to knock him out too. The masked person declares Satoru the last one, and their revenge can now begin.

Similar to the start of Wolf Game, a character labeled "yourself" wakes up seated in the middle of a pitch dark room. You feel the presence of someone in the room besides yourself, and not long after, a female voice calls out asking if there's someone there. She asks if you're the person that abducted her, which your character vehemently denies, and you both figure you're in the same situation. The girl suggests that you search for room's light switch together, but recognizes that walking around in the dark can be scary. She offers to start searching first and tells you to start whenever you're ready. Your character hears the girl's footsteps echoing in the room, and when she gets close enough, he calls out to her to hide the fact that he was too scared to stand up.

The girl leans down to your character's ear and asks if he'll run away again. The protagonist wonders if she knows about his past, but figures that can't be. He rebuts and says he's not going to run away, then begins to search for the light switch by feeling along the wall. Once found, the lights come on in the room, and the protagonist realizes that there's no one in the room with him. Unlike in *Wolf Game*, the protagonist character is revealed here as being Yukinari Shimotsuki. He wonders what that voice earlier was, but decides to leave that alone and exit the room, only to find the door locked. He finds the key using the hint etched on the door and leaves the room.

Once outside, Yukinari finds himself in what looks like a bar lounge. The other people in the building greet him and state that they're waiting for one more person to show up. From the final door, a man in a suit named Shouma Akamura appears. He's briefly suspected by a girl named Chie Komiya to be their abductor, but that suspicion is quickly extinguished by the other members. Everyone present discusses their present circumstances, only for the situation to start taking a negative turn as a boy named Yuuto Rurikawa goads them with rude nicknames.

Yukinari wonders if they'll really be able to work together when a mysterious voice speaks up and welcomes them all to The Wolf Game. The voice instructs everyone to sit in the respective seat with their name on it only for no one to follow. Takeo shouts at them to come out because he's a police officer and they refuse, giving everyone 10 seconds to sit down before they face a penalty. When the 10 seconds are up, everyone is electrocuted as punishment. After the punishment ends, a wolf and sheep doll named Merry and Wolf respectively, calling themselves the hosts of the game.

They explain that everyone has a device attached to their spinal nerves, and that they might die if they try to force it off. They then ask everyone to sit in their designated chairs again. This time, everyone obeys, and Wolf distributes cards in front of them, telling them each to pick one card.

Yukinari pulls a Sheep card this round.

Wolf proceeds to explain the rules of The Wolf Game as follows:

**The Rules of The Wolf Game**

* Every round, each participant must choose a card
	+ There are two kinds of cards, Wolf cards and Sheep cards
* Whoever draws a Wolf card is expected to kill a Sheep
* 12 hours after a Sheep is killed, there will be a Wolf Trial held
	+ During the trial, the Sheep team wins if they can figure out who the Wolf is
	+ If the Wolf is discovered, an escape door will open
* If the Wolf does not kill a Sheep, the Wolf will be executed

The participants leave the bar lounge, and after some discussion, decide to split into pairs to search the building for an exit. Yukinari is paired with a girl named Ritsu Kamiki to search the third floor. Their first destination is the classroom. The windows are blocked off and there's a question on the blackboard addressed to the "Sheep" asking if they're aware of their true selves. Ritsu finds a stash of pictures taken of the participants in their private lives, and they agree to head back and show the others.

Everyone shares what they found during their investigation, and there seem to be no exits in the building. On the first floor kitchen, there's food and water to last them a while, and on the second floor, there's an armory with weapons and poisons. Takeo volunteers to guard the armory because of the danger it presents, and due to everyone being suspicious of his intentions, he takes Satoru with him to guard it.

Everyone scatters to pass the time, and several hours later, Yukinari decides to spend time in the common room on the third floor. He finds Yuuto in the room playing games and attempts to start a conversation with him with little success. They're interrupted by a loud scream from the shower room and find Misaki on the floor at the entrance.

In the shower room, Kou Niimura is on the floor covered in blood, and Maki Takayama is in the bathtub, which is also filled with blood. They wonder why there are two dead bodies instead of just one, and Merry appears to tell them that the Wolf Trial will begin in 12 hours. As Yukinari wonders who would kill both of them, Kou gets up off of the floor in a daze. The others ask him if he's okay, and he explains that the back of his head hurts a little, as well as the fact that he's not bleeding anywhere, so the blood on his body isn't his.

A woman named Aori Shinozaki asks him what happened to the both of them, and he tells her that the night before, he'd heard a noise in the shower room and went to investigate. When he arrived, he was knocked unconscious from a blow to the back of his head. Ritsu finds his account to be very suspicious, and immediately believes he's the Wolf and putting on an act. She convinces some of the other participants of the same, and he walks off to figure out who the real Wolf is. The others eventually scatter to do their own investigations.

Following the conclusion of the Wolf Trial, the scene changes to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

### Chapter 2: Escape from Despair

The survivors enter a room that reeks of blood and see several coffins lined up. They note that there seems to be no means of escape from this room, either. Chie points out portraits on the wall of all the participants (and another character whose face is crossed out). Merry and Wolfe explain that this is the morgue, where participants who die are kept. Merry explains that no one ever said they would be able to escape in one go, and offers the alternative of discovering the truth of the game as a means of escape. After some discussion, the next wolf is chosen.

Yukinari pulls a Wolf card this round.

Yukinari immediately begins to panic, hit with the realization that he must kill to survive. Wondering if he's capable of it, he suddenly recalls a memory from his childhood. He recalls his mother telling him that he will, yet again, be transferring schools as well as the first day as a transfer student. He recalls meeting Tomoya for the first time, and agreeing to be his friend. Yukinari wonders why he remembered that at a time like this, but tells himself he needs to focus on staying alive. Hardening his resolve, he decides first to find a weapon and then to choose a target. He continues to fluctuate between hesitation and fear, to telling himself he has no choice. The game moves into an investigation section.

Yukinari decides against a knife, out of fear that he won't actually be able to stab someone as well as concern about blood spatter. Inspecting the poison bottles in the armory, Yukinari realizes they were put there by the game's mastermind to facilitate the killings and berates himself for playing right into their hands. He decides that using poison is probably safer than a knife and resolves to make someone drink the poison by mixing it into a cup of coffee. He brews the coffee and divides it into two cups, a red and a white one, the former of which he mixes poison into. He plans to avoid suspicion by casually inviting someone for a drink together. After assuring the cups' contents are indistinguishable from one another, he slips the poison into his pocket.

Next, he decides to look for a target and searches for anyone alone in a room. At this juncture, Ritsu, alone in the lounge is the only option. They make small talk briefly until Ritsu inquires about the cups he's holding. Yukinari offers her a drink that she happily accepts. She takes the red cup without prompting. As she's about to drink it, she asks Yukinari if he put anything in it, which he vehemently denies. Ritsu scolds him for trying to give her black coffee, insisting that no grown woman drinks coffee without sugar. Flustered and confused, he says he'll give the coffee to someone else and Ritsu leaves to find herself a drink instead.

Aori is alone in the classroom, writing fervently and furtively in a memo book. Yukinari tries to offer her the coffee, but she tells him to leave it for her to drink later. Fearing that someone will witness her if she doesn't drink it now, he becomes more insistent. Aori catches on to his desperation and asks if he has an ulterior motive. Panicking, he deflects and says he wants to get to know her better. Aori jokingly states that due to the extreme circumstances, he may be conflating his reliance on her with love, as many of her patients do, but still politely rejects the coffee and asks him to leave her alone. With an apology for saying something awkward, Yukinari excuses himself. He realizes he is running out of time.

Feeling out of options, he tries to offer the coffee to Misaki who is alone in the living room. However, after seeing her become emotional over his kindness, he loses his nerve and tells her the red cup back has a bug in it and gives her the white one instead. Yukinari leaves the room, ostensibly to dispose of the coffee in the kitchen, but instead he goes to the hospital room. Overcome with fear and guilt, Yukinari decides there's no other way to escape from this situation and drinks the poisoned coffee himself. As he loses consciousness, a figment of Tomoya scolds him for running away yet again.

Yukinari awakens to the sound of footsteps, bewildered that he is still alive. Osamu is at his bedside, and tells him that something terrible has happened. Yukinari is led up to the morgue to find everyone gathered around Aori's corpse.
