One of the best looking games of all time was slated for PC in the fall of 1999-spring of 2000. Based on the ecologically based drama Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Heart of Gaia would have been the driving force of gaming if it were released. The game was originally going to be a 1st person/3rd person perspective game. It was powered by the Unreal engine and had an amazing story along with it. The main character by the name of Ryan, a teenage kid who discovers to his amazement that he is a Werewolf, more aptly called a Garou. His journey crosses present and past history to find out who he really is and reclaim his lost tribe's heritage. Pursued by minions of the Wyrm (a demonic entity that threatens to kill the earth, enemy of all Garou), he has to fight for his survival.

Some of the Wyrm's minions are Black Spiral Dancers, Werewolves who fell to the madness and the corruption of the Wyrm, Banes (corrupted-spirits), and most powerful of all, Pentex (a huge corrupt mega-corp that nearly dominates all of human society). Needless to say this game would have easily would have won it's way into the hearts of gamers and those who love epics of yore. So what did happen to the game? The publisher of the game, ASC games apparently went under. This is definitely apparent when going to the website for the game. What does this mean? It most likely means that the game has no publisher and confirmed by EGM in 2001, that it is in limbo. Without a good publisher, the game will not be seeing a release anytime soon. Too many companies don't have the courage to pick up this great game. White-Wolf, which is the game company that makes the Werewolf line, has no comment and will only give details as they come. Who knows why it's being quiet. Hopefully since Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption did well, maybe Activision will publish it, or rather this will get White-Wolf in gear to find someone who can. I will have the introduction of the game so you can get a feel of what the game looks like, plus the game's pics with descriptions below, with more information about the Werewolves. I really hope someday like many that this game will be released. Only time will tell huh? For more information on the best-selling game Werewolf the Apocalypse, from which this PC game was based on, go to white-wolf.com or if requested I will do an article on the actual RPG.

Here is the hero Ryan, and just like all Werewolves, he can change into three forms, (5 in the RPG) Human, Chrinos, and Wolf.

Human form

The Wyrm, a demonic entity, wants nothing more than the world being destroyed. It accomplishes this by many means. Pentex, a huge mega-corp that kills the environment and people for at the same time, profit. In addition to that, the Wyrm has many more servants. The Black Spiral Dancers, evil werewolves who forsakened the ways of the Garou and Gaia, serve their master, the Wyrm.

Icky, to say the least.

Another type of creature that serves the Wyrm are the Throwbacks. These are creatures were once human, until they were experimented by Pentex.

And this is when Werewolves like Ryan fight the Wyrm and show it who's boss.

Last but not least, here is the intro video for the game. It is on Quicktime so remember to get the latest version of Quicktime. Well thanks for viewing this page. Any comments? Foward them to my email addy. ~Sargonnas
