The Alpha*
Lead your wolf pack in claiming territory, searching for food, and hunting prey. After a successful hunt, conflicts may arise with rival packs, forcing you to choose between risking injuries to keep food or sharing with others in the region.
Players control wolves in search of food across different forest regions, with the Near Forest containing easier but less valuable prey and the Far Forest offering larger, more challenging targets. Guide your wolves through four stages of hunting: stalking, chasing, deciding in conflicts, and securing food along the food track. After five weeks, the pack with the most food is declared the Alpha.
