Wearing the Claw

Baf's Guide

A short fantasy with a theme of illusion and an interesting substitute for a scoring system. Your town is subject to a curse that is turning people, bit by bit, into animals. The closer you come to meeting the demands of the wizard responsible, the more your wolf's paw turns back into a hand. (Of course, you don't really wind up appeasing an evil wizard, but I'll spare you the plot twists.) Sparse and linear, but with good detail and a couple of well-done magic items. If there were more to it, it would be one of the finest of its type. Features a hint menu.
