I wanna start off my by saying I liked the game overall and found the kids to be great. That said, this game is too linear for achieving endings. If you want to be the best parent, your romantic relationship prospects suffer. If you wanna date someone, your relationship with your kids suffer. It's either all or nothing with the paths and I would have liked more crossover so I can be the best mom AND have a bf or gf by the end.

About This Game
Never Date Werewolves is a 100,000-word interactive romance novel by Rebecca Zahabi. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You’re busy rushing around Lyon, the French city of lights, between your job at a store downtown and the summer school where your children are. But you’ll be damned if you can’t do this single mum thing. You’ll show your ex – and the world! – that you can be a caring mum and still land a date. If you’re looking for humans and a bit of normality, there is the new neighbor next door. But if he’s one of those humans who believe all werewolves are monsters, then it might be difficult to introduce him to the pups. Or there’s the teacher who manages the summer school, always smiling, full of energy and ideas for the kids to try out. Although there might be more to them than meets the eye… After all, everyone has their secrets, and they’ve managed never to be overwhelmed by the pups.
One thing is certain: the full moon is coming up, and even if you’re not a wolf, you’ll have the kids ready, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, for the most important hunt of their lives so far.
- Play as genderlocked female; date men, women, non-binary individuals, or no one at all!
- Land a date – and maybe more – with the cute broody neighbor or the sunny schoolteacher.
- Help your kids choose an alpha for their pack, hunt down game under the full moon, and complete a stunning art project for school.
- Change the worldviews of people around you, and impact how werewolves are perceived.
- Keep your pups under control, hide the silver away from the babysitter, and impress your boss at work – at the same time!

a lovely short read. sadly the love interests failed to catch my attention. without spoilering anything lets just say one male love interest is incompatible with your kids, the other one is not trusted by your kids (didnt quiet figure out why other than the title warns against it, as i didnt persue the relationship to find out) and the female interest is you boss (also she fits the warning). Dating some one you work with, particularly your boss is always bad form at best, and disastrously stupid at worst. This was kind of disappointing to me as this was released under their new Heart's Choice line, and I was really hoping that the possible romances would be more interesting and fleshed out. LIs aside, I really enjoyed the family aspect of the game. All the kids are adorable and you really would have to be a super mom to manage a litter of 6 all on your own! LoL I raised 4 kids together with my wife and there were many days when both of us were just wore out by all the demands placed...
Extremly charming. The children are all great. A bit too short for my liking, took about an hour or so to finish the story one time. But the choises are different enough for it to be worth playing several times. For this price I recommend it, and I'd be up for playing a sequel.
I hate hate hate that I am not recommending this, but several things hold it back: 1) It's pretty short. 2) Everyone sucks. I hate both of the LIs and the third LI isn't expanded upon much at all. 3) Not enough werewolfery. But the thing that stops me dead in my tracks from recommending this game, the thing that, when I got to it, I literally closed the game because I was so upset, is this (spoilers): [spoiler] One of the LIs reveals to you that they once lost control of their wolf-rage and hurt their then-partner when they learned that their partner was cheating on them. (I think, I kind of glazed over when I realized what was happening.) It is clear that the LI now loathes their wolf-self and themselves, and you only get two choices to respond to this revelation: 1) "It's your fault for losing control." or 2) "People make mistakes." (not verbatim). IF YOU CHOOSE #1 your only way to a "good" ending with the LI is to literally remove their wolf-self from them. In order to get a good...
Cute! Sweet! Lots of adorable stuff and good queer romance! Edited to add, having now finished one full playthrough of the game: this game is adorable and perfect and I would only change it to add more interactions with the kids because I want to cuddle them more. Some of the reviews complain about the fact that you have to CHOOSE between hanging with kids or work or dates, but that is literally the point of the game as you are a single mother of six. It's still really well done and I would like to smooch Alix thanks
Listen, this game is fun. It is heartwarming. It successfully manages silly, serious, and sorta surreal. Is it incredibly long? No. Is it an experience unlike any ever fathomed? No. Is it well worth the price? Is it enjoyable? Will it stick with one thereafter? Oh yes Yes it will (Get the game. Ye shan't regret it.)
Nn... No... I can't say I like this. I came here from Belle de Nuit, about the female duelist and hell, first Book was alright by me... So this is the same author... And well.. I not only didn't feel any attachments TO ANY character at all... I really didn't feel like I cared. For one... It's a short book so you don't even get to learn that much about anyone. The only interesting character was Samuel and well... He isn't like a Love Interest... Or even an important character... Two: You can't freaking TEND to your kids/ do events with them AND have a love life! Uh hello? Yes, you can. You can try. But with these love interests... Sigh okay... So no spoilers (I guess?) but one of them really hates werewolves... One of them is um... Just that... There... And third one is a woman and I have 0% interest in that... Kay so... I got this book because I thought maybe it be an interesting read AND I wanted to know what it would be like to have kids. From an observers p...
The game has a few nice points and its interesting to finally see something centered about a family. But a few options really seem forced in this one and I think the mother acts way to incompetent with a lot of thinks she does, and your choices are not making up for them.
It would have been better as a visual novel... Currently its a boring text and click only game instead of something that could be better. The story is a bit half baked, as all dates end up as failures due to the kids not liking them or the person being a douche. Don't bother unless you like a game where its text only and all dates end in failure.
Cool little story, easy to read, the hints are a bit obvious but it makes your decisions only more enjoyable. The werewolves children are cute as hell. Not too many branches, but just enough to feel choices do matter. I got a perfect ending on the first run. All's going well.
