13 years after its release, the Telltale title is getting a remaster worth celebrating.

When I pick up a controller, I often seek out games with unique hooks, titles that pull me in without much thought. I want something with a bit of grit and a narrative that reels me in. I am looking for something that makes me hungry to play and eager to see how the story unfolds. No game has snagged my attention as a voracious gamer quite like The Wolf Among Us, a narrative episodic noir thriller based on Bill Willingham’s Eisner Award-winning "FABLES" comic series, and created by the talents at Telltale, the same studio that brought us the gripping tale of The Walking Dead.

Narrative titles are deeply interactive, drawing the player in with an exceedingly rich story, unique setting, and likable, and some not so likeable, characters. The Wolf Among Us is just that, managing to make me feel pain, joy, intrigue, and rage all in one playthrough. It is up to players to explore the world around them, gather information, and come to their own conclusions about problems faced during gameplay. In short, there is a big emphasis on player agency, crafting the story they want to see. Now that the remaster is hot on our heels, it’s about time that players experience the game for themselves.

The Wolf Among Us is richly detailed with a unique plot built upon nostalgic fairy tales we were read to as children. Nestled in a small subsection in the heart of Manhattan is a host of princes, princesses, anthropomorphic frogs and pigs, and all sorts of whimsical beings called Fables.
