The Wolf Among Us is based on Bill Willingham’s Fables comics. Fairytale characters have fled their homelands and live in secret in 1980s New York, a community called Fabletown. Bigby Wolf, once the Big Bad Wolf, now serves as its gruff sheriff, and when a murdered Fable turns up on his doorstep, he has to find the killer.
Telltale released it in five episodes in 2013 and 2014, and its neon noir style and morally gray choices made it one of the studio’s most loved games.

As Bigby you decide whether to be the reasonable sheriff or let the wolf out, and characters like Snow White, Mr. Toad and the Woodsman remember how you treated them.
