Game Introduction – The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 – Faith

Episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us is a point-and-click adventure game created by Telltale Games.  In this game, you take on the role of Bigby Wolf, a tough law enforcer who tries to keep the peace among New York’s fantastic population of “Fables.”  Gamezebo’s walkthrough will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.

Game Tips

Interacting with the Environment and Characters

• Much of The Wolf Among Us is relayed through story scenes, but occasionally your direct input is needed. Items and people of note are marked with a circle. When you hover over a circle, you’re given options on how to interact with that person/item.
• Dialogue trees are an important mechanic in The Wolf Among Us. When you’re presented with choices on how to respond to characters or situations, the game makes note of your selection. Your behavior can help you (or haunt you) later in the story. If you don’t know what to say, silence is almost always an option.
• The Wolf Among Us has several “quick time events,” which require you to quickly input on-screen commands. Failing to complete a quick time event adequately can potentially result in a Game Over.

Inventory

• Certain items can be picked up as you play through the game. These items are catalogued on the left side of the screen.
• You’re often given the option to give away items to certain characters in certain situations.

Menus

• You can access the gameplay menu for The Wolf Among Us at any time.
• The gameplay menu contains options for the game’s settings, as well as your Achievements and the Book of Fables (character listings and bios). You can also use the gameplay menu to return to the main menu.
• The main menu for The Wolf Among Us lets you access your save files, and replay specific chapters if you’ve completed the first episode. You can also select “Extras” to see how your in-game choices matched up with other players’ choices.
