The Walking Dead Telltale Game

Ohayƍ Mina-san!

This post is just a tangent intended to change a bit our routine and I will introduce to you, not an anime nor a manga, but instead a video game which could possibly be one of my favourites if it wasn't for it's duration.




The Walking Dead is an episodic video game and it's first season has won over 90 Game of the Year Awards. The story is tailored by the choices you make and there are different endings to each season. 

In season 1, you will be Lee, a history teacher which was in his way to jail because he murdered a person who was in bed with his wife. The apocalypse starts when you are in the police car in it's way to jail.

Later in episode 1 of season 1, you will meet Clementine, a young girl who was hiding by herself and she will help you killing a zombie which is supposedly her babysitter. I won't tell you anymore because I really don't want to spoil for you the fun to play this 9.5/10 game! The only reason why it isn't 10/10 is because each episode is about 2-3 hours long and episodes are released approximately, every quarter of the year.

Season 1 has 5 episodes and a special episode: "400 Days" in which you will play 5 victims of the apocalypse and based on your choices, they could appear in season 2.
Season 2 has only got 2 episodes and the most recent episode, episode 2 "A House Divided," came out a couple of days ago. Episodes 1 in both seasons are free, well at least for Xbox 360, and the others are priced around £3.90 ($6.50).

This post was intended to give you a brief description of the game and introduce it to you Mina-san, and I think that everyone should play it. Everyone. The game is available for Xbox360, Playstation 3, Windows and Mac OS X and the first episode of each season are free so it's worth a try, trust me!
