The Wolf Among Us is a five-episode series from the creators of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead. Based on Fables (DC Comics/Vertigo), an award-winning comic book series, it is an often violent, mature and hard-boiled thriller where the characters and creatures of myth, lore and legend are real and exist in our world. As Bigby Wolf - The Big Bad Wolf in human form - you will discover that the brutal, bloody murder of a Fable is just a taste of things to come, in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences.

Story

The Wolf Among Us is set in the year 1986, nearly twenty years before the events of Fables. For years, many of the magical lands described in myth, legend, and folklore (known as The Homelands) have been occupied by an enigmatic tyrant known as the Adversary. To escape the Adversary's totalitarian regime, many of The Homelands inhabitants fled to colonial America, and created an enclave known as Fabletown, now located in modern-day Manhattan. To mask their presence from the native humans, all non-human fables have to purchase an enchantment known as a "glamour" which allows them to appear human, or be relocated to a rural community known as "The Farm". An evolution of Telltale's ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as Bigby Wolf, Sheriff of Fabletown, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.

What is happening now

The Wolf Among Us is Telltale Games' point-and-click adventure set in a dark, noir-tinged version of the Fables universe. Players assume the role of Bigby Wolf, the Big Bad Wolf reimagined as a hard-boiled detective investigating murders in a hidden community of fairy tale characters living in present-day New York. The game's narrative unfolds through player choices that shape the story's direction and character relationships. A remastered version of the game has surfaced in recent coverage, marking renewed attention on what remains one of Telltale's most acclaimed narrative adventures. The original release came during the studio's peak as a storytelling powerhouse, before the company's later struggles and eventual closure. The remaster appears to be giving players both new and returning audiences a chance to experience the series' signature branching dialogue and consequence-driven plot on modern platforms.
