[edit] Story

Set in the same fictional universe as Earnest Evans, 1928; A cult that worships the ancient and malevolent god Hastur plans on resurrecting their god on Earth which will bring the inevitable down fall of mankind. Apparently there are some people that have descended from Hastur's ancient blood line, one of which is the young Peruvian sorceress Annet Myer. Annet is mostly alone in her attempts to stop the cult from resurrecting Hastur using the very spells that her blood-line allows her to use.

[edit] Characters

Annet Myer: According to the back story, Annet was saved by Earnest as a child in Peru and has since earned his trust and companionship. She is a descendant of Hastur's blood-line yet despite the powers it grants her and her vast knowledge of her ancestry, she resents it and will do anything to keep the world the way it is.

Vincente DeMarco: A mafia boss in New York who has been bought-out by the cult for his services and hardware. In the original Japanese version, this character is noted gangster Al Capone.

Restiana: A fearless and beautiful young sorceress who is a prominent figure in the Hastur cult beyond her magical powers.

Earnest Evans: He appears briefly to aid Annet in her search for the right people responsible for summoning Hastur.

As with many Wolf Team games, the music was composed by Motoi Sakuraba.
