The Wolf Among Us - Episode 2
I think the way Telltale puts together these games is rather brilliant.
This is less of a game and more of a story with participation, and having to make a quick response in a given situation, with no chance to ponder of the potential weight of your action makes the max/min player in me panic. I look for the Paragon vs. Renegade answers in dialog choices, this one makes it tough - "what would *you* do in this situation?"
They do an excellent job of making you the Big Bad Wolf you are, when you interrogate your witness - you have a bunch of good-cop reactions that your suspect back talks you about, and every time there is an obvious bad-cop option; "Smash the bottle in his face", "Burn him", "Punch him". You know he's lying, you've caught him and you're trying to solve a murder investigation.
Eventually I smashed a bottle in his face and got my info... people think I'm a meanie now.
After the episodes complete, you have a chance to compare yourself to what the rest of the world did in those situations. Apparently 70+% of the people out there don't have the patience to be a good cop.
The story continues, as we investigate the decapitation of Snow White, we discover it was actually not Snow but a troll that was glamoured to look like her because some guy has a fable-fetish and tries to recreate storybook scenes. The final scene reveals our culprit ... now I feel pretty good about my negative responses to this guy (one of the 17% reported :)). Next episode - the hunt is on! *hooowwwwwl!*
