About The Wolf Among Us
The Wolf Among Us is a gritty, mature thriller from Telltale, built on the award‑winning Fables comic series. Players step into the shoes of Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of Fabletown, navigating a world where fairy‑tale figures live hidden among modern society.
The game unfolds over five episodic chapters, each delivering choices that shape the narrative and even the timing of those choices matters. Its action‑adventure style blends point‑and‑click interaction with Telltale’s signature consequence system.
