The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead: Season One, also known as The Walking Dead: The Game, is a five-part episodic interactive drama and graphic adventure developed by Telltale Games. Based on Robert Kirkman’s comic series, it tells an original story in the same universe. The game follows Lee Everett, a convicted man whose transport is interrupted by the zombie outbreak. Lee meets Clementine, a young girl separated from her parents, and becomes her protector as they join other survivors and search for safety across Georgia. Players explore locations, talk with characters, examine objects, solve straightforward puzzles, and respond to dangerous situations through contextual actions. Many conversations and major decisions are timed, forcing choices under pressure. These decisions affect dialogue, relationships, the composition of the group, and how later scenes unfold, with consequences carried between the five episodes. The story still follows a defined overall path, but choices shape Lee’s relationships and the details of each playthrough. Combat relies primarily on quick-time inputs rather than unrestricted shooting, keeping the focus on characters and survival. Its comic-inspired visual style reflects the source material, while save data can carry key decisions into The Walking Dead: Season Two.
