It’s hard to describe but The Wolf Among Us definitely has a similar feel to other Telltale games but there’s an air of refinement about it that their previous titles lacked. The art direction has improved quite a bit over The Walking dead with the lighting having an almost oil painting like effect on everything. Every scene feels like a pane pulled straight from a comic book with the only thing missing being giant speech bubbles above all the characters.

The Wolf Among Us brings with it Telltale’s trademark style for transitioning comic books to the PC gaming medium, favouring a heavily stylized world that’s light on the graphics but heavy with detail. It was only a matter of time before everything started to take a turn for the worse although you’d never expect Bigby, even with his chequered past, to be at the centre of it. However the magic of glamour doesn’t change past deeds and many old rivalries are still going strong. You play as Big B Wolf (affectionately referred to as Bigby) charged with being the sheriff of the Fabletown community, keeping everyone in line and ensuring the safety of all the fables that have made the transition to the real world. This allows them to take on human form so that they can blend in with the wider world, enabling them to live out their lives in relative obscurity. The days of the fables living in their own world has long since past and they now attempt to fit into the world of humans through a kind of magic called Glamour.

So when I heard about The Wolf Among Us I was sold on it instantly as the brief taste that 400 Days had given me of the signature Telltale experience had left me wanting for so much more.

Still it was hard to ignore the fervour that surrounded their interpretation of The Walking Dead and my subsequent play through of it showed me that Telltale was able to deliver a deep and compelling story. If I’m honest I had avoided many of their titles as whilst it was cool to see things like Sam and Max make a comeback I had long left adventure style games behind, preferring the more fast paced worlds that FPS and RTS offered. Telltale Games has a reputation for taking IP that’s either old or from another media and translating it into a new game experience in their very distinctive style.
