The Wolf Among Us review: A gritty noir murder mystery, with fairy tales

July 12, 2014

It's taken nine months, but The Wolf Among Us has finally wrapped its first season. The question going into this was never, I don't think, "Will it be a good game?" but rather, "Can it live up to Telltale's other series, the award-winning (and absolutely soul-crushing) video game adaptation of The Walking Dead?"Yes. And no. Despite having some similar underpinnings, The Wolf Among Us is a very different game than The Walking Dead, with its own set of virtues, flaws, and grey areas.Huff and Puff Wolf Among Us (available for Windows, Mac OS X, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and iOS) is an adventure game based off Bill Willingham's Fables series of comics.
