Beautiful visuals, and a tense scenario.
Also makes me wonder what these guys did to tick off that many werewolves. :)
Cool game after time reloading is not fast enough.
Quite difficult but fun.
Keep up the fantastic work!
I think the game might be improved by slightly shorter levels, so you can get to the fun of the upgrades a bit more often.
Took me a while to survive one night, and looks like a nice idea to give the game a bit more depth/longevity. Guess in an expanded version, you could add people to your party/cart, add new weapons and all the other trappings of an RPG
Gameplaywise there is also a lot more depth than meets the eye. The upgrade mechanics, the obstacles that force the player to keep in the middle and having to shoot the barrels for bonuses.
For me, personally the difficulty ramps up too much. I upgraded reload and damage in the first night and stood no chance in the second night.
Reloading on RMB would be cool, or at least E instead of R, since R is too far away from WASD, especially since the player needs it constantly.
Some spooky music would really augment the experience, as would better and more sound effects.
Overall great entry!
