The Wolf Among Us is a five episode series from the creators of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead. Based on Fables (DC Comics/Vertigo), an award-winning comic book series, it is an often violent, mature and hard-boiled thriller where the characters and creatures of myth, lore and legend are real and exist in our world. As Bigby Wolf – The Big Bad Wolf in human form – you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come, in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences.
An evolution of Telltale’s ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as Bigby Wolf, Sheriff of Fabletown, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.

The Wolf Among Us is set in the year 1986, nearly twenty years before the events of Fables. For years, many of the magical lands described in myth, legend, and folklore (known as The Homelands) have been occupied by an enigmatic tyrant known as the Adversary. To escape the Adversary's totalitarian regime, many of The Homelands inhabitants fled to colonial America, and created an enclave known as Fabletown, now located in modern-day Manhattan. To mask their presence from the native humans, all non-human fables have to purchase an enchantment known as a "glamour" which allows them to appear human, or be relocated to a rural community known as "The Farm".
An evolution of Telltale's ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as Bigby Wolf, Sheriff of Fabletown, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.

Probably my favorite game from Telltale, and they did make a lot of awesome games…
-Great use of references (Every fable has a very different reality that the books. "Happily even after" becomes: "Divorced independent woman". "Rich" becomes poor)
- Great and unexpected history.
- Emotional moments
- Not so impactul choices (Most of them only changes dialogues)
- Bad background visuals (On my opinion, it's ugly. Most of scenarios are grey and brown. And have some purple and blue lights)
- Bad characters (I related to only some of them. Like big bad wolf and Snow. But most of citizens are evil, uninteresting and with a design to make us to hate them. Because the game wants to pass a "filthy city" impression)
A choices-matter game on a world of fables, where the fables we all know live peacefully.
Is that so?
With a series of murders, the city slowly starts to reveal the filthy place it is.
I really love telltale games.
Based on Fables, a fantastic comic series by vertigo. The wolf among us is a gritty film noir detective story, set in the upper west side of Manhatton and starring characters from fairy tails and folklore, even some from the wizard of oz and other pop culture fantasy stories.
The story is great, well paced and gripping the whole way through. The art and graphics are on point.
I can’t wait to see where else telltale take this series.
This game! This was the first Telltale game I played, which is probably a bad thing since it has to be the best that they’ve made yet for their episodic games. I have played others and enjoyed them, but this game really does come out on top for me. The storyline is incredibly gripping, and really draws you in. What I love is you really feel that you are making an impact on the story as well. This has become one of my all-time favourite games, I’m a huge fan. I highly recommend it for those who love a video game most of all for the story.
Great story in a very unusual setting. If you have enjoyed Telltale’s previous adventure experiences you will most likely love this one too. The gameplay is pretty basic (well, duh), you select dialogue titles and sometimes do QTE, which seem to be impossible to fail. It is most certainly not the strong part of the game, but it will do. The strong part is the story, set in rich setting of Fabletown, the town where all the Fables (characters from stories, myths and so on) live in modern times. You play as a hard-ass Big Bad Wolf (or sheriff Bigby Wolf, whatever you like) going through the story to unravel a series of mysterious events. The dialogues are great, characters are interesting, the ending is pretty spectacular. Actually the ending is so good, that the community still can’t decide what happened 😀
Anyway, if you can handle a game being not much of a game, but more like a TV series with some interaction, this surely is a must play.
