Telltale's The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 is Free on Xbox 360

If you're interested in The Wolf Among Us but don't want to commit to a season pass, you can try out the first episode free!

Just a quick heads-up for you guys, if you are at all interested in Telltale Game's The Wolf Among Us, and you happen to be an Xbox 360 gamer, you can now head over to the XBLA store and download the first episode of the series completely free. If you enjoy it, you can then go ahead and pick up a season pass, which contains all five episodes of the first season, for just $14.99.

The Wolf Among Us is an ongoing episodic graphic adventure based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book series. Currently, only the first episode of Season 1 has been released, with the remaining four due for release sometime in 2014.

The game plays very similarly to Telltale's surprise hit: The Walking Dead, and it has similarly mature themes within it. Those of you who became Telltale fans due to The Walking Dead should definitely check this one out, especially considering it is free!

Just like in The Walking Dead, the decisions you make in The Wolf Among Us will effect the outcome of the story, both in the first episode and in subsequent episodes.

The game is also available on PC, OS X, iOS, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, via their respective online stores.

Oh man, I was looking forward to getting it and behold!

It's not available in my region.

Fortunately, The Walking Dead is so there's that. I will just have to wait till The Wolf Among Us is off 75% or something.

I got the first episode on Xbox when it came out, it's very good, I highly recommend it.

But what is it ABOUT? I've seen a trailer for it and the most I got out of it is that he's trying to discover something that happened to himself. I guess he's a werewolf and he doesn't know it yet?

It's a noir murder mystery set in a big city where characters from fairy tales live. Bigby Wolf (aka The Big Bad Wolf) is the sheriff and has to find the killer behind a string of serial murders.

It's really good actually, although keep in mind it's in the same vein of dialogue focused point-n-click as "The Walking Dead" so if that's not your thing you may want to pass it up (it's free though, so you may want to give it a shot anyways).

It's been 3 months since the last episode though, which is a drag. Apparently the next one is due January.

What region is this for?

Already have it on PC but at that price it is a steal.

It's set in the Fables comic book universe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_(comics)]. You don't need to be familiar with Fables to play it though, all you need to know is pretty much what Phrozenflame500 said. Bigby Wolf does know who he is, as do most of the other characters. In some cases though you might not know who they are, which is half the fun.

If you play the game and it sparks your interest, I highly recommend the books. The game is surprisingly faithful to the characters and writing style.

Does the game follow the comic closely, or is it in the vein of the Walking Dead where it is another story set in the same world?
