To help the story along, you’re given lots of control over how you play Bigby. It more than earns its Mature ESRB rating.

But just be aware: with the gruesome killings plus lots of profanity and even some nudity, The Wolf Among Us isn’t a family-friendly game. These characters are seamlessly woven together into an intriguing mystery that is on par with the storylines from the comic books, and the mystery has enough twists and turns in it (including a doozy at the end) to keep the game interesting.

The story takes place before the events in the comic books (it looks like the ’80s to me), and it includes some famous fables (like Beauty and the Beast) plus some new ones (like Georgie Porgie and the Tweedles). On a more positive note, while the game is “just” an interactive movie, it’s a good one. Still, if you’re not good at quickly pressing keys or targeting the mouse, then you’re probably going to have trouble completing the game.

These sequences are much friendlier than in Telltale’s other games (especially Jurassic Park), and you can often miss a key or make a mistake and still continue on with the sequence. During these sequences you have to press the WASD keys at the right time (to dodge out of the way of a punch, for example), or press the Q key repeatedly (during a struggle of some sort), or click on something (to choose an option, such as where to push somebody). There are also a few actions sequences where Bigby has to fight someone or chase down a suspect. The rest of the time it’s just a matter of talking to people and uncovering clues. There is exactly one puzzle to solve (where you have to open up a glamour tube in Episode 2). Unfortunately, The Wolf Among Us is much more of an interactive movie than it is an adventure game. The interface makes the game pretty easy to control, and if you’ve played other Telltale games like The Walking Dead or Jurassic Park, then you should be able to jump right into The Wolf Among Us without any problem. If you can do multiple things with a hotspot (such as knocking on a door or kicking it open), then clicking on the hotspot will bring up a wheel of possible actions. Then in each scene, you use the mouse to locate hotspots (including other characters and objects) and interact with them. The world is presented from fixed positions, and you use the WASD keys to move Bigby around the different scenes. The engine for The Wolf Among Us is pretty standard fare for adventure games.
