Under the Wolf Face

It's not about dancing perfectly β€” it's about fitting in.

A sheep is captured by wolves and taken to a forest feast. To escape undetected, she must wear a wolf mask and blend in by dancing to each wolf's rhythm. Follow the pack, not the beat. Each wolf boss has unique rules, tempo, and tricks. As patterns grow longer, one wrong move could reveal your true identity.
