The Walking Dead



The walking dead
the walking dead is a third person, single player, point and click story driven RPG game developed and published by Tell-tale Games. AVALABLE for all platforms, windows/ MAC (steam), xbox 360 (xbox live), ps3 (PSN),
-the game is split into 5 parts each released 2 months after each over




the game is split in 5 parts, or "episodes" and this is shown with a "previously on" (to recap on the decisions made) and "next time on" as a teaser. each "episode" consists of around 2-3 hours of gameplay and dialogue.
each episode was written by one person, and their ideas influenced by the previous episode and with the final episode scene in mind

Unlike the majority of Click and Point games that are puzzle solving, the walking dead: game focusses more on the story and characters personal development throughout the zombie apocalypse.
Telltails uses this click and point game play to give the gamer the opportunity  to make right and wrong decisions that would effect the characters. In addition to the click and point, the game does allow you to assume control of the main protagonist by moving him around the environment searching for things.
the experience telltails are trying to give the gamer, is an interactive movie where they are the director. So to speak.

the game is based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series. And uses a comic book style, all characters and surrounding scenery and or objects are textured with thick black shading sketch marks much like a graphic novel. To emphasize creases, wrinkles, and deep shadows



Book to TV to Game

both the walking dead tv series and game are based from the original comic book series and both containing elements of the original comic book. such as characters and events. in the tv series the events happen in different order to the comic, and some characters in the game resemble characters from the Tv series. But like I said before, glen and hurshal are characters from each media all with the same role
