The point will then be to find out who is responsible, to stop them from doing it again, and bring justice to Fabletown. In the evening he discovers the severed head of a woman. Bigby goes back to the headquarters of Fabletown, where he meats with various characters (Snow White, Colin, etc). She seems to be in some sort of bigger trouble but refuses to talk about it. He steps in, fights with the Woodsman and saves Faith, a sex worker who, we will discover later, is more famously known under the name of Donkey Skin. The game starts with Bigby being sent to apply the day-to-day law at “Get a glamour spell or go to the Farm,” but he is disturbed by one resident of Fabletown assaulting another. If someone had told me that the Big Bad Wolf would one day be one of my favorite characters… Indeed, his past crimes against the the non-human looking community were too big to be forgotten, and his own amnesty was…let’s say conditional. However his case is a bit special since he is forbidden to go to the Farm. Bigby is actually none other than the Big Bad Wolf in human form (even if he can take back his wolf form at will), which makes him a brilliant agent of the law for Fabletown. The player controls Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of Fabletown. After the escape, every Fables character who managed to made it to our world was granted amnesty and now Bluebeard lives next door to Briar Rose. They have two structures Fabletown, in NY, for the human looking ones and the Farm, somewhere in the American countryside, for the others. They are now living in our world, after having been cast away from theirs by the Adversary. For those of you who might not know it, Fables is a comics series following famous characters of fairytales. However, it takes place before the beginning of the comics. Telltale got the rights to make a video game out Fables. In the other, you play 5 different characters and you try to save your family from destruction. In one game you only incarnate one character and try to solve a crime mystery. The Wolf Among Us and G ame of Thrones, what are they about?Įven if they both operate on the same gaming system, The Wolf Among Us and Game of Thrones are different. What it is, is a fun experience that will not make you try and retry a level in order to progress in the narrative. But it is important to be honest about what the game is and isn’t. After all, not everyone is a fan of FPS, TPS, or beat them all. When done correctly they are incredibly immersive and just straight up fun. ![]() Hell, you can play with the American controls on a French keyboard ( an AZERTY keyboard) without being really disturbed by it.īy no means am I trying to dismiss the gaming experience of the Telltale’s games. I think it would be more correct to call them ‘interactive movies’. So, the Telltales games aren’t really point and click in the traditional understanding of the genre. It is going somewhere specific, and if your choices veer too far away from it you will be taken back to the correct road. Also despise what a first time player might think, you can’t influence the plot that much. There are no real enigmas or really challenging decisions, though. Am I going to threaten someone in my fake sane persona or give them the fright of their life? More importantly, there are moment where you might make important decisions that will impact the rest of the game. There are also more traditional game moments where you wander in a delimited map looking for things or characters to speak to. With them you play through what we can only call interactive cut-scenes that can change a little depending on your choice and if you miss an action or not. ![]() The Telltale games all work on the same system. Telltale and the ‘Revival’ of Point and Clicks So now let’s buckle up and dive right in into the Telltale game series and why it can be either great or meh. ![]() Why did I have such a different way of seeing them despite the fact that the gaming system was so similar? I came to the conclusion that it is a question of narrative. With all those good news about The Wolf Among Us, I started rethinking about both experiences. Unfortunately, the actual experience ended-up being disappointing. Especially when I learned that we would play a northern family loyal to the Starks. Since I was still in my show-loving period I was eager to play this game. So in 2014, Telltale’s Game of Thrones was released. It also made me discover Fables, probably my favorite comic and one of the few I can effectively follow. It is a fine game, set in a wonderful atmosphere, which gives hours of fun. But, hey, when you have been waiting for years for just a sign, it’s like Christmas in July. In 2018, without any more precise date, sure. Telltale just confirmed that The Wolf Among Us 2 is coming. So after a 4 years wait, it is finally here.
