#The wolf among us online game trial#
It’s not a deal breaker as players can quickly pick it up with a little trial and error, but it’s a surprising omission from a company that makes games generally accessible to everyone.Īside from that, the real question here is “Will I like this game?” And your answer will be “Yes,” if you are a fan of adventure games in general, a fan of Telltale games in particular, a fan of Bill Willingham’s Fables universe, or a fan of games with good storytelling. The game requires players to move a cursor over to a target area, and then hit an action button in order to pull off certain moves, but this is never really explained. The only real caveat here is that the there’s little in the way of tutorials to explain how the action/QTE sequences work. There’s still less emphasis on puzzle solving than traditional adventure games, there are still QTEs, and there are timed responses, with answers that will be remembered by the various characters and have an influence on later events. Mechanically, there’s little to differentiate this game from its critically acclaimed predecessor, The Walking Dead. Adam Harrington, voicing Bigby, brings the kind of noir-ish, surly detective delivery the character needs.
And it goes without saying that the acting is great. The music also carries a similar 80s vibe, largely based around synthesizers to keep the mood of a pre-internet, pre-cellphone world going.

The only downside to the graphics is that while performance is smooth on PCs, the PS3 version regularly chugs and hiccups as it does with most Telltale games. The textures for paint and line work are even more defined, to emphasize the comic book look, and the color palette is bright and vibrant, representing the 80s look of the time period. The visuals of TWAU are a treat, clearly using the same techniques as The Walking Dead but amplified even more. That job description quickly changes to detective when a murder occurs, and the game is afoot.
This particular game focuses on Bigby, aka “The Big Bad Wolf” who has now reformed and acts as a sheriff for Fabletown. The premise centres on “Fabletown,” an area of New York taken over by refugees of various fairy tales that have escaped an enemy known only as “The Adversary” who has been conquering their lands.
The Wolf Among Us is a prequel, taking place before any of the major story arcs of the Fable comic take place.
