The Wolf Among Us episode order and investigation locations
Find the five-episode sequence and the places that recur in the case.
Edition covered
Telltale’s original five-episode season, released from 2013 to 2014. This is Bigby’s first game, separate from any sequel and from the later events of the Fables comics. Publisher pictures come from the original Steam app. Choice and ending sections contain spoilers.
Episode order
The case develops across a continuous season. Starting in the middle can use generated earlier decisions and spoil revelations intended for previous episodes.
| Episode | Title | Investigation phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Faith | A street confrontation becomes a murder case |
| 2 | Smoke & Mirrors | Witnesses and the case’s identity questions expand |
| 3 | A Crooked Mile | Competing leads point deeper into Fabletown |
| 4 | In Sheep’s Clothing | The criminal network becomes clearer |
| 5 | Cry Wolf | Bigby confronts the case’s final suspects and consequences |
Recurring locations
Different locations contain different kinds of information. Inspecting a room can reveal a clue without any dialogue option announcing that it is important.
| Location | Connection | Useful approach |
|---|---|---|
| The Woodlands | Fabletown administration and residents | Inspect official records and personal spaces |
| Trip Trap bar | Holly, Gren and the Woodsman | Listen to competing accounts |
| Pudding & Pie | Witnesses and exploitation at the center of the case | Pay attention to what witnesses cannot say |
| Lucky Pawn | Objects tied to Fabletown’s debts | Examine the merchandise and records |
Match episode and chapter before rewinding
A similar location can appear more than once. Use the correct episode’s chapter selection to revisit the intended decision or collectible.
The comic chronology is a separate reference
The game takes place before the main Fables comic story. Later comic developments should not be treated as evidence that Bigby knows the answer during this investigation.
