Lone Wolf is an integrated series of 28 adventure game books, originally published in 1984 by award-winning fantasy author, Joe Dever. With over 10 million books sold internationally, Lone Wolf is one of the most popular game book IP’s of all time.

Written by Joe Dever himself, Blood on the Snow will plunge players in the unique world of Magnamund. In keeping with the classic saga, they will become Lone Wolf, the only surviving member of an ancient warrior order: the Kai Lords of Sommerlund!

Blood on the Snow combines, with great effect, the depth and satisfaction of the interactive text pages, with superb quality 3D RPG combat. The two elements have been woven together to create a truly unique experience for smartphones and tablet users. The game is divided into 4 acts. Act 1 of Blood on the Snow will be released in November 2013.

Author Joe Dever says: “I’m delighted to be working with Forge Reply and Bulkypix on this unique game experience. It’s a strangely wonderful situation to be in where everyone involved with the production and publishing of this game grew up reading my adventures. The knowledge, skill, and enthusiasm that both teams embody have made it a very satisfying and special project for me to work on. I’m proud of what we have created, and I’m hopeful that it will establish a new benchmark for quality interactive entertainment on smartphones and tablets.”
