Based on Bill Willingham's award-winning 'Fables' series, 'The Wolf Among Us' takes players deep inside a tale that mixes folk tale and modern strife.

Just as 'The Walking Dead' adventure game forged its own path with a bold trip through the original story's universe, 'The Wolf Among Us' takes a similar approach with 'Fables.'

All the characters are there -- reluctant sheriff Bigby Wolf, inquisitive mayoral aide Snow White, foul-mouthed Mr. Toad -- and all are trying to get by unnoticed in New York City, but the narrative takes place 30 years before that of the graphic novel series.

Five episodes are planned for Season One, with the first having released on Mac, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to excellent reviews back in October.
