Watching the credits roll on Cry Wolf, the 5th and final episode of Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us, felt like waking up from a violent dream filled with satisfying answers. While it leaves a hint of ambiguity to keep some mystery in the world of Fabletown, Cry Wolf ties a ribbon around the entire series in expert fashion. It pays special attention to rewarding those of us who’ve kept note of minor details, characters, and events since Episode 1 last year. It embraces the series’ many storytelling genres, and left me going over specific scenes and actions in my head long into the night.
This episode begins with a bang, with Bigby surrounded by the Crooked Man and his nightmarish posse. Cry Wolf is drenched in action, but instead of just titillating, the violence is there to allow us and Bigby to come to terms with our decisions from throughout the whole season. As I picked who to attack first in that initial brawl, or to focus on during an exhilarating car chase, I could feel the weight of every tense character relationship and tough decision I'd made since Episode 1 behind me. It all built smoothly up to this.
