We’re halfway through Telltale’s 1980s New York fairytale, and events are escalating rapidly. If Smoke and Mirrors offered little more than an amuse-bouche to complement the welcome starter of Faith, then A Crooked Mile serves as an ample main to fill out the story in a more satisfying manner.
Episode 3 of Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us is as predictable as it is necessary, while cleverly structuring itself within a limited time frame. The gameplay and presentation remain the same, with a handful of investigation scenes interspersed throughout mainly dialogue, with a high-stakes QTE at its conclusion. The interesting twist this episode pulls, however, is in the way the player decides how Bigby’s investigation plays out.
"George and Andrew are back, and after a busy week of personal lives and San Diego Comic Con watching, the duo is set to celebrate the stretch end of Press Pause Radio’s newest Games Club: Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us.
Based on the popular Vertigo franchise from Bill Willingham of modern day fairy tales, we talk at length over the depiction and care involved with this original story in the Fables universe, and just how well it manages to convey the presentation and feel of the adult fantasy series, whether you’re new or a fan familiar with its comic base.
We’ve brought to you not only our usual podcast, covering our overall feelings and after thoughts about the game, in and out, but we’ve brought on board a video companion series, detailing certain choices, statistics, and detailed analysis over the subtle details at play in this murder mystery."
