You get a different kind of feeling with a game that releases episodic content to that of a standard release. You can’t judge the game as a whole until the very last episode and much like a TV series you may find yourself disinterested halfway through the season and decide it’s not worth your time to see it through. For this reason The Wolf Among Us hits a critical point in its release schedule as we hit the halfway point and get a better sense of where the story is taking us.
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."

In this episode tensions run high as Sheriff Bigby and Snow White finally close in on who they believe to be the killer of Fables in Fabletown, but do they have the right person? One is finally laid to rest while the Tweedles get pushy on the nosey Sheriff, and new characters are met to deepen the mystery of who is really running Fabletown. Will Sheriff Bigby huff and puff and blow away the killers? You’ll have to continue to watch as we’re at the halfway mark of our five video series.
