Hi, thanks for playing my game! The story is inspired by something my father told me about his time in the army (military service was mandatory back then). The real story isn’t as exaggerated as the game, but I built on it.
If you’re curious, here’s the short version: When my father was stationed near the border, the older soldiers there told the newcomers about a soldier who had disappeared from his post. Before he went missing, he had repeatedly reported seeing wolves watching him from the forest and hearing footsteps near the watchtower at night. When the soldier who was supposed to relieve him arrived the next morning, he was nowhere to be found.
To be fair, I don’t know whether the story is true, but it terrified me when I was young.
