While traditional 3D action RPG combat is the main focus on the game, plot is mostly delivered through first person perspective texts similar to the gamebook series.

The story takes place between Lone Wolf books three and four, titled The Caverns of Kalte and The Chasm of Doom.

[1] Audio production studio 93 Steps was used to create the soundscape of the game, including music, sound effects and voices.

The studio was curious to test how many fans Lone Wolf still had since the books went out of print in several western countries, and used Facebook to let people play through the original Lone Wolf book Flight from the Dark, and vote every time there was a choice of direction in the story.
