Game Information
The Walking Dead (or The Walking Dead: Season One) is a 2012 episodic adventure game developed and published by Telltale Games. Based on The Walking Dead franchise, the game consists of five episodes released between April and November 2012.

The game takes place in the same fictional world as the comic, with events occurring shortly after the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. Most of the characters are original to the game, which centers on university professor and convicted criminal Lee Everett, who rescues and subsequently takes care of a young girl named Clementine. Lee becomes a protective figure to her to help reunite her with her parents. Some characters from the comics make appearances.

Unlike many graphic adventure games, The Walking Dead does not emphasize puzzle-solving, rather focusing on story and character development. The story is affected by both dialogue choices of the player and their actions during quick time events. choices made by the player carry over from episode to episode.

The Walking Dead has been critically acclaimed, with reviewers praising the harsh emotional tone of the story and the empathetic connection established between Lee and Clementine. It won year-end accolades, including Game of the Year from several gaming publications.
