Eventually, the player will discover the monsters hunting down and terrorizing everyone are a group of werewolves. The character Laura explains to Ryan and Dylan, that her boyfriend, Max, is a werewolf after getting bitten by one. The first time players can get a good look at them is during Chapter 3 when one attacks Nick. They have reddish skin, long lanky limbs, and sharp teeth. You can also hear growling and snarling when they are close by. As the game continues, better lighting and more exposure reveal their bodies. Each attacking beast is actually a human that has transformed into a werewolf.
