The Walking Dead (also known as The Walking Dead: The Game) is an episodic point-and-click adventure role-playing video game, based on Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book series, for iOS, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was developed by Telltale Games. The Walking Dead was planned to be released in the last months of 2011 but due to the production and development of the project, the game was held back to early 2012. The game consists of five episodes, released between April and November 2012. The iOS versions of each episode followed shortly afterwards. Telltale has also published retail versions of the complete first season.
The Walking Dead is a point-and-click adventure game, played from a third-person perspective with a variety of cinematic camera angles, in which the player, as the protagonist Lee Everett, works with a rag-tag group of survivors of a zombie apocalypse to stay alive and reach help. The player can examine and interact with characters and items. The player must make use of inventory items and the environment, though these are presented simply as an option when interacting with other characters or objects; in one example, the player may be able to look at a character, talk to the character, or if they are carrying a food item, offer that to the character. According to the comic’s creator Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead game is more focused on developing characters and story and less on action that is featured in other zombie-based games, such as Left 4 Dead.
