The Wolf Among Us

Users who are viewing this thread

New game from Telltale that just came out essentially. It's a game based on the ''Fables'' comic book and is set in a world where a lot, if not all, Fables are real somehow. Dark fantasy mixed with a bit of Noir, set in the classic Point-and-Click Story-Driven Dialogue-Based Episodic game format that Telltale has done before.
Seems to be quite interesting so far. They want to release an Episode (Five in total) each month, but they also wanted to do that with The Walking Dead so take that with as much salt as you want. Been hearing a lot of good stuff about it too. TotalBiscuit praised it so far, saying that it's better than the Walking Dead, especially now that Telltale has a new universe to be working with.
From the makers of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead, comes a gritty, violent and mature thriller based on the award-winning Fables comic books (DC Comics/Vertigo). As Bigby Wolf - THE big bad wolf - you will discover that a brutal, bloody murder is just a taste of things to come in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences.

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.

Over a season of content spanning across 5 episodes:

Episode 1: Faith
Episode 2: Smoke and Mirrors
Episode 3: A Crooked Mile
Episode 4: In Sheep's Clothing
Episode 5: Cry Wolf
From the team that brought you 2012 Game of the Year, The Walking Dead

Steam Store Page
23 euro for the whole season, although I believe it's 5 euro an Episode on consoles, so buying the whole Season right away only saves you 2 euro, although on Steam you've essentially got no choice.

I played it, and it was really, really good. I was amazed. It was like the Walking Dead regarding gameplay, but the setting's much more interesting, and the dialogue better written. I also fell in love with the graphic style, and the overall flow of the game was handled better than in WD; you can see Telltale's skills have improved. The story managed to interest me very much, very unpredictable, and I can't wait for the next episode to see where it goes from here.
 
Garrrhh, can't wait for my paycheck to arrive. First game in a while I'm a bit excited to buy!

edit: Ended up watching the whole of Dodger's LP. Damn, that's a sad game. :sad:
