The Wolf
Among Us is a game developed by Telltale Games, the same company that released
The Walking Dead. It is a story-based point-and-click game which tells the
story of the main character, Bigby, who is the sheriff of a town called Fabletown,
which is inhabited by familiar characters such as Snow White, Beauty, Beast and
many more, all of which are interconnected within the game’s story.
The game is unique as every
decision the player makes playing as Bigby will result in different
consequences. In other words, the story plays out according to the decisions
the player makes. For example, if the player replies rudely to a character
within the story, and if this character reappears in the later parts of the
game, he/she will have a rude reaction towards the player.

This varied character behavior
that is influenced by the player and thus varying story adds some replayability value to this
game.
The Wolf Among Us consists
of five episodes, and at present, only the first episode is available, while
the other four will be released periodically till Summer 2014.
Having played the first
episode twice over so far, here’s what I think about the game…
