    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    The Wolf Among Us is a five-part point-and-click adventure game developed and published digitally by Telltale for the Xbox 360 (via Xbox Live Arcade), PlayStation 3 (via PlayStation Network), PC, Mac, and all iOS devices. Episodes were periodically released between October 11, 2013 and July 8, 2014. A compilation of the complete series was later also released in both retail and digital stores for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One (as well as in retail versions for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) in November 2014.

    Set in the same universe as Bill Willingham's comic book series Fables (and takes place 20 years before the events of the first issue), players follow Bigby Wolf, the reformed Big Bad Wolf of childhood fables and sheriff of Fabletown (an enclosed community of "fables" in late-1980s New York City kept secret from regular "mundane" humans). When he and Snow White, assistant to the Fabletown mayor, encounter a decapitated head of a mysterious fable, they must investigate the grisly whereabouts of a fable serial killer and uncover a deep, dark conspiracy.

    Similar to Telltale's previous adventure game, The Walking Dead, making decisions through actions and timed conversation trees play an important role in the game, complete with branching consequences that tailor the player's story to the pressured choices they are forced to make. Players also investigate areas for clues and engage in action sequences (using a series of quick time events).
