Actually, just recently became interested in QTE games, after playing Quantic Dream titles. So I was browsing for similar games and found this gem. I was delaying the play, as you can't really hop on a quick session and need at least an hour of free time to go deep into the story, otherwise you will quickly get lost in the situations, which get escalated surprisingly fast.
At first I thought the game is childish and I will end up catching some cats, but it turns out to be a serious detective for adults, which engages you in about 20 minutes of gameplay, when things are getting messy.
Highly recommend it for everyone, but you need to be fluent with English to play it.

The big ((bad)) detective and wolf sheriff Bigby, in his life in Fabletown, where fairy tales and happy endings are more unusual and drastic than expected, tries to solve various incidents for the not so well-being of its citizens. In this journey he will find himself in a plot of intrigue that will bring risks to all the citizens of Fabletown.
Based on the Fable comic book saga, The Wolf Among Us is a narrative story involving choices that can affect the characters' situations. Teltalle is known for involving this practicality of consequences in actions and yet many times you see that no matter how hard you try to make the right choices, the fate of certain characters keeps going in the same direction as it was programmed (technically choices are not so relevant after all...).
With 5 episodes, it's a complementary and well-developed plot that will leave you shaking in your hands over whether you want ((or not)) the good outcome of those around you. Still, as said, certain results permeate into a single direction regardless of choices, making an elementary bubble without a metamorphosis to the outside.

This is more of a confession and cautionary tale than it is a review.
The Wolf Among Us has been sitting unplayed in my library for over 7 years. Why? No idea. I very much enjoyed Telltales' Walking Dead games, but I guess there always was something newer, something flashier waiting in my library when it came to picking the next game.
The Wolf Among Us is neither new nor flashy. Rather, it is a timeless masterpiece.
Excellent storytelling with a gripping plot. Believable characters that you get invested in and care for. A distinct and beautiful art style that holds up very well after all those years and helps transport that noir feel.
If you are deciding whether or not to buy it - by this time you know what to do by the sea of blue thumbs-up.
If the game is already sitting in your massive backlog though - don't be like me. Don't scroll past it for the umpteenth time. Break the cycle. Install it, play it, then come back, leave a review and get someone else to play this gem of a game.

Love this game. It's such a shame more didn't come from this series, because they really could've done a lot with it. Still great over a decade later, in my opinion one of Telltales gems.

Maturing is going from picking all the "nice" options to picking the options that seem most in character/appropriate for the situation

A postmodern reimagining of classic fairy tales set against the backdrop of a noir-ish crime-ridden city in the 1960s. The story feels like a darker take on Alan Moore and Frank Miller’s comics. The scene-setting, music, and visual style—I loved it all.
The only downside? Not enough gameplay.
But the hero’s raw brutality and masculine presence, paired with the lonely jazz notes and the scent of cigarettes and whiskey, more than make up for the lack of action.
