The Wolf Among Us

I have played this through earlier but didn't post about this earlier. But The Wolf Among Us is defintely worth of posting since it was very intensive game. I will explain more what kind of game it was but briefly I can tell you already that it is definetely worth of playing!

You're playing game as being Bigby Wolf.


So The Wolf Among Us is based on the comic books called The Fables. The game and comics tells about the fables who has escaped from their home worlds to live among humans since enemy attacked to their lands. But as you can imagine.. Life isn't easy for a fable among suspicious humans. So they have decided to live in secret hiding their true nature. 

There is five episodes in the game.

Time runs fast when deciding right dialog.


Since The Wolf Among Us is storytelling game you won't decide your character. You play game through as a Bigby Wolf but of course story might change a bit depending what you're deciding to do. You can be empathic or more harsh. Decision is yours and story will be a bit different based to your choices. And I think sometimes I would like to get more time to think through between options. Time runs so fast that at times my Wolf was only quiet when didn't know what to decide from the options. Kind of frustrating for time to time. And problematic for players whose English isn't best possible.

The Beast got angry with me.

The Wolf  is thinking.

Snowhite is important part of the story.


I won't tell much about the plot here since it is best to play through but story isn't the nicest one. It is meant for adults and The Fables are not living happily ever afters. But despite the darkness and desperation what is strong in the game there is still some hope. Well at least my choices gave me some hope and everything didn't end miserably. Even you will play as Bigby there are other important characters helping you like Snowhite. And when you see new fables from the stories it gets interesting to see how they have managed to handle their lives among human. Some are doing fine, some way worse. 

The Wolf Among Us was first storytelling game I have ever played myself. And I wasn't disappointed at all. I am get used to pause game whenever I want to but with this game it wasn't possible so I always needed certain amount of time to play through scenes before saving was possible. And of course you need to replay same discussions if you made wrong decision and wanted to change that.  But I believe that problem is on every storybased game. You can correct me if I am wrong.

If you haven't played The Wolf Among Us I can recommend it. Story is interesting and Bigby looks handsome (girlish opinion). And I prefer game isn't selling itself with nakedness, it is good because it is excellently written.
