Overview
What ABG knows about this game

The legend says that the Wendigo's spirit still roams the forest and attacks anyone who dares to speak its name.... Work together to find the Wendigo if you ever want to see home again! In The Legend of the Wendigo, one player plays as the Wendigo's spirit, which has taken on the appearance of one of the scouts.

Otherwise, the Wendigo player wins!
