The Wolf Among Us

great game, good art, and an interesting story

While the premise might seem a bit cheesy at first glance, I encourage you to give it a shot if you enjoy narrative adventure games. This is one of Telltale's best titles, and a great entry point into the wider Fables comic series if you're inclined to read them.

No worries if you're not familiar with it, though, Telltale writers are/were more than competent at organically explaining all of the little nuances and lore tidbits necessary to fully understand the full story here. Being familiar with the comics is a bonus, but little more.

The best game Telltale ever made, the story, the characters, the choices, the music, the artstyle, just wow.

10/10, If i could erase all my memories of this game and replay it i would.

A choices-matter-story game that is also basically a tv miniseries that is so, so good. The animation! The art style! The voice-acting! The writing! It's a masterpiece.

when i first got into this and played the first couple chapters i felt like i was just gonna log off soon and never touch the game again since its not normally my style. damn im glad i kept playin tho ts was a 10/10 story based game

this is, in my personal opinion the best telltale game. not many people got the opportunity to play it and we may or may not ever get a sequel. but it is a very fun and original story that adapts fables.

the story is very fun, lots of mystery, detective work, and I feel like the talking/decision making process of the telltale games fits very well with a police narrative.

the biggest thing with this game is it feels original, yes it is adapted on the fables comic series (also recommend) but it is the most unfamiliar story, and for that it just feels great.

I do recommend.

Technical note: if you ever get to a point in the story where all of your dialogue choices say "this option is blank!" go back to the main menu and reload your game.

It has everything I like in a good detective story. A compelling mystery within an interesting world with interesting characters. My favourite part of such games is to piece together not just the mystery, but how the world as a whole is structured. And this game did not disappoint.

The combat is perhaps a bit dated, but this is absolutely Telltale's best work. One that earns its Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.

Jogo magnifico narrativamente, 8,5/10. Embora tenha zerado há alguns meses, só agora eu peguei as conquistas que faltavam e estou fazendo uma review positiva. Eu tenho uma regra pra mim mesmo, só faço uma review, quando zero e pego todas as conquistas. Exceções para jogos ruins e podres.

This is one of the most unique stories i've ever played in a game.
(i know its an adaptation but still.) 10/10

Decent game, at the close of the end I felt bored a little and I don't know why but overall the game is definitely worth playing

This game is horribly self-serious in a humorless way. It fails to successfully reconcile the dissonance between the fairy tale characters and the gritty setting they've been imported into, nor does it address this in any entertaining manner. The ending was very anticlimactic--the game really follows a downward trajectory starting from the first chapter.

Second best Telltale game just behind, Tales from the Borderlands
As long a u get it for under 10 dollars, then its totally worth it

The Wolf Among Us is a masterclass in mystery noir storytelling.
It offers unique dark world with an interesting main character who finds himself in what seems to be a singular case of murder, that throughout the story turns into a deeply intertwined mystery involving a huge number of the town's residents, holding you captive in front of the screen in anticipation of what revalation comes next.
The visual presentation plays its part in the overall experience going for the comics look, which definitely was the right choice.
OST does its part fairly well and has some standout compositions.
In conclusion, the game is a must-have for every fan of the detective genre.

Good art style, good characters, like the detective work, overall a great game and I hope I get to play the sequel. Only problems I had was a game breaking bug and the game crashing. Both happened on the final chapter towards the end and in the same area.

The animation design was great as well as the storyline. Waiting for season 2

This is such an underrated game. If you're a fan of detective stories as well as beautiful art-styles, and choice-based game-play, this is the game for you. I also love that it has such a modern twist to classic fairy-tale characters.

a great game and an interesting story, but one thing i cant get my head around




why would a bunch of characters from European fairy tales be in... America??

TWAU is one of my favorite games of all time, music and story are 10/10. This game got me into comics, it´s just phenomenal and it has passed the test of time. I hope one day we are able to get the sequel.

i love the story, the characters r fun. ngl gameplay is a little wonky. soundtrack is a banger

Bigby Wolf is my favourite character out of all I encountered since I started gaming. Amazing story, fun, good dialogues, good characterization, one of the best endings I ever witnessed.
Highly recommended.
Where is our promised sequel?? We need it! I need more of Bigby Wolf, PLEASE!

This TellTales game is really well done. I loved all of the easter eggs and revisiting what Fables would be like in the modern world. The art work and the voice acting are impeccable. Grab this game. You know you want to!

Wow, I just saw the release date after finishing the game. 12 years ago? This was a masterpiece by then!
One of the best stories in a long time. Meaningful, twists and non-obvious characters.
Sure, the gameplay is limited and it is more a visual novel, but the conversation options felt like real choices. The end leaves things kind of open, though I kind of doubt that after 12 years we`ll see a follow up?

I love most telltale games but was always somehow reluctant to start this one, also because I have a 21:9 screen but luckily now Flawless Widescreen has a patch and I could finally enjoy this master piece.

Amazing story and characters, it's worth playing for sure especially if you like somewhat good old adventure games with a bit of a bite!

The Wolf Among Us was my first introduction to the Telltale universe, and it completely blew me away. From the moment I started playing, I was hooked. where fairy-tale characters live among us in a gritty, noir-inspired setting. The story is gripping, and the characters are wonderfully complex, drawing you in with every twist and turn. The writing is sharp, engaging, and full of surprising emotional depth that kept me invested throughout the entire game.

The art style is another standout feature. It’s visually striking, with a unique comic-book-like aesthetic that perfectly complements the tone of the game. The decision-making aspect is what really sets Telltale games apart, and The Wolf Among Us was no exception. Your choices feel impactful, affecting both the narrative and your relationships with the characters.

After completing The Wolf Among Us, I was so blown away by the experience that I immediately went out and purchased both of the Batman: The Telltale Series Games and The Walking Dead Telltale Game in one purchase. The story-driven, choice-based gameplay has now become one of my favourite ways to experience a game, and Telltale has truly mastered the art of interactive storytelling.

Overall, The Wolf Among Us is a must-play for anyone who loves a compelling narrative, complex characters, and a unique world. It’s a game that stays with you long after you’ve finished it, and it’s made me a huge fan of Telltale’s entire catalog.

Such a nice game. Really joined to play it for few evenings and didn't want to stop but unfortunately it's over. Waiting for The Wolf Among Us 2

Very nice experience, played it co-op, crazy thing but it was cool.

Absolutely worth the money. The art, the plot, the execution--Fantastic. I'd been shown this game by my boyfriend, who had played it years earlier, and all it took was watching some gameplay from the opening scenes to sell me. Bought it the next day off Steam. Apparently, I took me 25 hours to play through it, but I definitely left the game running on the menu screen a couple times, so it may be closer to 20 hours of play. While short, I loved every minute of playing it. With this game's amazingly thought out plot, it makes you want to burn through the game in a couple days, so really, take your time with it. My only wish is that it was longer, or had a part two. I mean, after that last dialogue choice, and that ending--Please? LOL! <3

i was quite skeptical about this game at first due to the old graphic. But turned out to be a mistake of being judgmental. This game is fantastic!! 10/10-overwhelming positive for story telling . Good job telltale. (review for game play 2021)

I am looking forward WAU 2 in epic store. When will steam have it? Hmm..

The game is a masterpiece, they took everything from the walking dead series and polished it to perfection.

It was super fun revisiting a childhood game for myself, and I can confirm that my adoration for this game is not unfounded!

The story and pacing is great; there wasn't a moment I felt the game was dragging on too long and the origins of the characters had me excited to meet the next one. The player has lots of autonomy and you can actually feel the weight of certain decisions you make. I enjoyed the combat scenes (QTEs weren't too challenging for me). I will absolutely be reading the comics after this.

We deserved a second game :(

Can't believe this game was released 13 years ago, not even today you can find a game with this quality of dialogue tracking and consequence driven story. Finishing this game once or twice wont really do it justice, you can literally have an amazing story that will shock you every time you play it and it is just amazing, it is a different game unlike anything i've ever played. I would definitely put this game in a museum and save it for the generations to come cause i'm sure not even in year 2050 we can find anything like it. Can't really praise it enough just play it and you will see what i mean.

telltales' best work. leaves you wanting more, wheres the next episode?? ffs. its not a "game" in the traditional sense, its more interactive animated comic and this one is good enough to be interesting to people who wouldn't necessarily try games like this.

A great interactive story. Really enjoyed this and I would recommend anyone to play this if you enjoy whoddunits with lots of action and thrills

One of the best games ever, and the sequel should be released here in 2025. Over ten years after the first one. It'll be hard to match the first game, just look at the reviews. It's like an interactive movie and replayable because the choices you make affect the storyline and ending, so you can play it again and have a slightly different story. Pretty much a 10/10. Very polished and well done game

Just finished one playthrough of the game, intend to do another with different choices.

I came here after Telltale's The Walking Dead, but without much expectations. This game was really impressive to me, despite thinking I wouldn't like the concept. It drew me in with both a good story and a unique art style.

Highly recommend.

Gripping story and great characters and twists

Just 2 hours into the game and it become my top 10 most favourite game of all time, it is even better than walking dead in my opinion it is must play game for story and action type player

It's an amazing story that holds up no matter how long ago it was released.
The art style and the story telling were top notch and the game really made you think about every past action.
I truly recommend this game to anybody who loves noir and fiction.

First off; it runs beautifully on Steam Deck

Secondly; Absolutely wonderful game. Can’t believe it took me this long to play it. The story and premise are fantastic and the choice and consequence can really be felt throughout the entire experience. Fun fun fun murder mystery.

insane game, its one of those story games that gets you hooked no matter if its an old one, graphics are clean and easy to run on a low end device which is the reason i played this game , optimization is a 10/10. W telltale

Perhaps one of the best Telltale works, despite I never got excited with and I prefer The Walking Death saga, with more dynamic story imo.

An incredibly story, and a game that still holds up 12 years after its release. If you haven't played this game, its a must play.

great story with great characters.
it took me 12 years to play it, but im glad i did

a must play - 9/10

loved this game can't wait till Season 2 comes out but that seems forever please tell us anything anything about Season 2 even a pic SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION!!!

absolutely amazing story, with really good graphics and the music is amazing. deserves a sequel and makes me want to pick up the fables novels. would recommend

I watched playthroughs of The Wolf Among Us a decade ago and fell in love with the storyline. Coming back after all this time to play it myself, I found new things to appreciate about the story and realized a lot of things that went over my head as a kid. After recently playing through it I also got interested in the Fables comic series it is based off of and while it is a bit different, it is nice to see more of the characters that I came to love from TWAU. I really couldn't recommend it more to anyone who hasn't played it, and even recommend a replay if you have already.

Definitely worth it. Awesome art style. Great visual performance. Just a bit pity that it only supports English officlally.

Good Story and Concept with good music too!
