This version, 2.0.2, released on January 27, 2010, has many bugfixes and allows numbers in multiplayer usernames. It includes both episodes: Amethyst Mountain and Slough Creek.
Live the life of a wild wolf in Yellowstone National Park, learning how to survive in the wild, finding a mate, and raising a family.
In Episode 1: Amethyst Mountain:
- Create your wolf avatar, selecting male or female, choosing from a range of realistic wolf coats (and customizing the coat with color tints), and configuring its
abilities (strength, speed, and stamina).
- Explore four square kilometers of alpine wilderness on the slopes of Amethyst Mountain in Yellowstone National Park, running across open meadows, through dense
fir forests, and along sheer cliffs. (Amethyst Mountain is in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park, overlooking the Lamar Valley, where wolves were first reintroduced to the park in
1996. See it in Google Maps!)
- Hunt elk. Follow scent trails to locate elk herds, then sneak up on the herd, find the weakest one, and begin your attack. Pursue your prey and sap its strength
while dodging its counterattacks, to make the kill.
- Harrass grizzly bears and coyotes who try to eat elk carcasses, or just for the fun of it.
- Follow scent trails to find stranger wolves. Communicate with them through wolf vocalizations and behaviors.
- Find a mate and establish a bond.
In Episode 2: Slough Creek:
- Explore Slough Creek, four more square kilometers of river, meadow and mountains near the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, east of Mammoth.
(See it in Google Maps!)
- Select a safe den site.
- Establish and maintain your territory with raised-leg urination and howling.
- Raise your pups: train them, feed them, and protect them from coyotes, grizzly bears, and other predators.
- Hunt elk and other animals as opportunities arise.
- Keep your pups alive!
- Form a pack with 2-5 players in public or private multiplayer sessions.
- Explore the worlds of Amethyst Mountain or Slough Creek together, hunting elk and chasing coyotes.
- Chat with other players with an in-game safe chat system, limited to common English words. (If you see inappropriate behavior in a multiplayer chat, please
report it to us.)
- Work as a team to bring down a powerfull bull elk.
