I've finished The Wolf Among Us!
The last episode was pretty awesome, but the ending left me more confused than anything. The episode starts with Bigby meeting the Crooked Man and his thugs in his lair. After a bit of conversation, it's revealed that the girls had been murdered by Georgie, the strip club owner. However, it's also heavily implied that it was the Crooked Man himself who forced him to do it... As the tension escalated, a fight broke out. The Crooked Man and Bloody Mary got away while I fought the Jersey Devil, the Tweedles and Georgie.
Everyone started running away after a bit of fighting, so I chased after two cars in werewolf form. This was a big chase sequence filled with action and quick time events. Eventually, I caught up to Georgie and the club's manager, Vivian. Georgie was badly injured from the fight and bleeding to death in the club.
The mystery of the ribbons on the women's necks was revealed as I had a heated discussion with both of them. Basically, Vivian was the original wearer of the ribbon and she enslaved the other girls to guarantee discretion for their customers. The only way to break the spell is for her to remove her ribbon, which will kill her. Feeling guilty, She kills herself by removing her ribbon. Her head immediately gets severed from her body, leaving a bloody mess... Georgie asks for mercy from Bigby. I decided to help him by ending his life.
I then went after the Crooked Man by following clues I had found, which led me to a metallurgy. I was confronted by Bloody Mary one last time. She took on her true form as a bloody woman with mirror shards puncturing her body. She also created dozens of copies of herself, leaving Bigby with no choice but to respond with his true form, an 8 foot tall wolf! In an epic scene, I killed all the copies of Bloody Mary and found the Crooked Man in his office.
After a brief conversation with him, I cuffed him and brought him back to the Business Office to be sentenced by the community. This was one of the best scenes in the game, offering lots of dialogue choices and lots of different outcomes. After a heated conversation between the "good" characters in the game, I decided that imprisonment was the best option for the Crooked Man. Auntie Greenleaf turned him into a crow and put him in a cage to be sent to the farm, along with Toad and his son because they couldn't afford glamours.
A final scene sheds a lot of doubt on the whole story, as the Little Mermaid admits that she lied a few times as part of her testimony at the trial. There was a lot of shit that didn't make sense with what she said. She was gone before I had a chance to ask her more questions, but I think she is Faith, glamoured as the Little Mermaid. It's all weird and fucked up, but I really loved everything about this game. The best part of it all is the amazing film noir tone that permeates every scene. I really hope they make a second season of The Wolf Among Us!
