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.

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.

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.

Absolutely wonderful story that holds great even more than 10 years later as well as an extremely faithful depiction of the Fables comic, you just can't imagine Bigby talking in different voice after this.
If you haven't played it yet - you definitely should.
And Telltale should pull themselves together and finish the sequel.

Truly a Telltale masterpiece and hidden gem.
I couldn't stop playing this game since episode 1. The story, gameplay, art style—everything is perfect. I couldn't find a single flaw in this game...
Apparently, there is a flaw... there's no season 2 for this game...
My hopes for a sequel are almost dashed. But this game is a must-try for those of you who enjoy Choice Matters games that are heavy on narrative and character development

Played it for the first time in 2025 and I'm impressed. Surely one of the best story-driven adventure games ever. The story is excellent, top-tier, and the visuals are very good, comic-like art. Considering these two points, this game will never be outdated. There are numerous choices that impact the story a lot, it's not too linear. Gameplay isn't quite as excellent, a bit awkward sometimes in my opinion, but still good enough. I like that there is limited time in dialogues, it creates some tension. But the original game is only in English, which makes it unplayable for those who aren't completely fluent, as the text must be read very quickly.
But the thing that completely got me was a tiny pearl at the end of the story. In the epilogue, there is a mindblowing revelation that changes the story a lot and it's not fully explained, leaving two main possible interpretations. I googled it and found numerous theories, arguments and even debates, but the story keeps both versions possible. So it was intentional to leave the ending unexplained and make players wonder which of the two explanations is correct. I think that’s very cool. 10/10.

I was hooked on the game before episode 1 even finished, but the fact that the game came out in 2013 and people have been waiting over 10 years for a sequel is flabbergasting to me due to the fact that I just beat it and im already wanting for another game in 2025
