You can exhaust every option in conversations and still not get the information you need. For the hour and a half you play through this episode, you travel to some very dark places not only in terms of setting – a strip club run by Georgie Porgie, a magical backroom examination table, a dingy hotel room frequently rented by whoring Fables – but in the actions Bigby Wolf can make. It’s a testament to how good Telltale has gotten at telling interactive stories that don’t just feel like anemic Choose Your Own Adventures. What’s stunning is how far you are willing to go, and more importantly: why. The violence isn’t as bad as some scenes in other games – there’s no pulling teeth or power tools here – but smashing bottles in the face can be just as terrifying, and just as effective. You decide how far to push violence versus questioning, with Bluebeard appreciating your dark side and Acting Mayor of Fabletown Ichabod Crane disapproving every blow. the Big Bad Wolf from the fairy tales -interrogating a prisoner. You start off playing as Sheriff Bigby Wolf – a.k.a. Smoke and Mirrors begins almost exactly where the first episode left off. This episode continues the story of the hard-boiled Bigby Wolf, and it’s a short but not necessarily sweet journey through a fascinating setting. The game plays similar to a point-and-click adventure, but like Telltale’s The Walking Dead, the beauty of it comes from making dialogue choices and roleplaying decisions as you uncover the plot. It’s very hard to discuss this game without spoiling the mystery, as well as dealing with the branching storylines as the episodes progress, but I can tell you that The Wolf Among Us is a noir story set in a fictionalized 1980s New York City in which characters from famous stories have been exiled from their “Homeland”.
