"The Wolf Among Us" Game Walkthrough

Bigby Goes To Work in "The Wolf Among Us"

For those curious about the Fables game prequel just released (actually, it's Episode One: Faith of at least five installments set to be released at regular intervals), here's a great way to find out more before investing.

Although the choices you make (both in dialogue and action) would change everything (because, apparently, even the seemingly smallest decisions count in this game), you get a good idea of the structure from these walkthroughs. As a bonus, this walkthrough has no commentary getting in the way of the story exploration.

I'm just embedding Part 1 (there are 8). You should be able to easily find the following ones either at the end or on the YouTube page, which is linked to in the bottom of the video window (ie "view on YouTube").

Please note: this game is for mature players only. There is both violence and language and it is not suitable for children to see (or overhear).

Enjoy!

Note: The video can be viewed in "chapters" like the one above or there's one complete, almost two-hour walkthrough uploaded you can watch as well.

I've included the cast sheet below, in case you'd like an overview of the main players.

Note: Contrary to how it might appear, I'm not much of a gamer, so although I'm interested in the concepts I'm rarely drawn in to play. The strong narrative of this one, along with the fairy tale tie in and references, is very appealing though. After seeing just a few of the walkthrough videos I'll admit my interest is more piqued than for any other game I've ever seen. I might actually give this one a go...

UPDATE: ADDED 6pm OCTOBER 15

Fables prequel game "The Wolf Among Us" is getting VERY good reviews all round. Here's one that both reviews (scoring it 8.6/10) and gives you a good idea of what to expect:

(Excerpt):"The Wolf Among Us is a gripping accompaniment to Willingham’s artistic narratives. Having suffered the halfhearted groping of Hollywood executives intent on transporting his books to the big screen, the author clearly regards Telltale as his kinsfolk, remarking of the game: “It’s brilliant to the point of there being far too many moments of ‘I wish I’d thought of that’.”

The inaugural episode, Faith, revolves around the morally imbalanced protagonist of Sheriff Bigby Wolf - aka the Big Bad Wolf - a Fable with a chequered past charged with maintaining peace among his fantastical peers as they eke out a living alongside ordinary citizens, known as Mundies. The instalment revolves around a series of murders, with the player asked to take the reins of Bigby’s passive-aggressive personality in order to solve the mystery.

The dialogue - always a highlight of the publisher’s games - is consistently excellent. The choices are varied and depending on any number of ripostes or discreet silences, the fate of Bigby and his fellow Fables feels as if it is in your hands. Only future episodes, of course, will reveal the wisdom of the choices made - the majority of your time in Faith is an exercise in exposition, spent prowling rooms and locales for clues."
