Gamertell: The name Winter Wolves should be quite familiar to indie game fans. The company is responsible for many computer games, many of them visual novels and dating sims. Its latest game, Vera Blanc: Full Moon is quite different. First, it’s a mystery adventure/visual novel. There are plenty of mini-games, but no dating sim elements. It also looks quite different, turning towards American comics, like those from Marvel or DC Comics, to inspire the visuals.
CCG writes - "Vera Blanc: Full Moon is an Italian visual novel game originally released for computer and phone operating systems back in 2010. Though there are few reviews of the title after its original release, most comments concerning the game were positive and praised it for its intriguing story. After 10 years, Ratalaika Games ported and published it for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and released it in November 2020. I played it on the Switch, and while there are important graphics and controls issues that diminish the game’s polish and professionalism, I mostly enjoyed the minigames throughout and the supernatural central mystery at hand."
Dave writes - "There should always be room in our lives for fun, pulpy rubbish. Sometimes you just want a Nic Cage movie, a packet of prawn cocktail crisps, or the works of Limp Bizkit. Video games can definitely be in that category too, and Vera Blanc: Full Moon could be classed as so-bad-it’s-good. In places, it’s in danger of teetering into just ‘bad’."
James writes - "Ratalaika Games have partnered up with Winter Wolves Games once more - following Roommates - to bring another visual novel to consoles. The latest offering, Vera Blanc: Full Moon, is a mysterious thriller that will require your keen detective skills to solve on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation 4."
