The Walking Dead (besides known as The Walking Expressionless: The Game [5] and The Walking Dead: Season One [6]) is an episodic adventure video game adult and published by Telltale Games. It is the first game in the series, which consists of 4 seasons and a spin-off game based on Michonne.

The game is the first of The Walking Dead video game serial published by Telltale.

The game takes place in the aforementioned fictional earth as the comic, with events occurring before long later the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. However, most of the characters are original to this game, which centers on university professor and convicted criminal Lee Everett, who rescues and after takes care of a young girl named Clementine. Lee becomes a protective effigy to her to help reunite her with her parents. Kirkman provided oversight for the game'due south story to ensure it corresponded to the tone of the comic, simply allowed Telltale to handle the bulk of the developmental work and story specifics. Some characters from the original comic book series also make in-game appearances.

Different many graphic adventure games, The Walking Expressionless does not emphasize puzzle solving, simply instead focuses on story and character development. The story is affected by both the dialogue choices of the histrion and their actions during quick time events, which tin can ofttimes pb to, for instance, certain characters existence killed, or an agin change in the disposition of a sure grapheme or characters towards protagonist Lee. The choices made past the thespian carry over from episode to episode. Choices were tracked past Telltale, and used to influence their writing in subsequently episodes.

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-terminate accolades, including Game of the Twelvemonth awards from several gaming publications and is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time. More than than ane meg unique players have purchased at least one episode from the serial, with over 8.5 million individual units sold by the cease of 2012, and its success has been seen every bit constituting a revitalization of the weakened chance game genre. In July 2013, Telltale released an boosted downloadable episode, 400 Days, to extend the showtime season and span the gap towards Telltale's second flavour, released later that yr as well every bit in 2014. Season 3 and Season four of The Walking Expressionless were released in 2016–2017 and 2018–2019, respectively.

Gameplay [edit]

The Walking Dead is a graphic hazard, played from a tertiary-person perspective with a variety of cinematic camera angles, in which the player, as protagonist Lee Everett, works with a rag-tag grouping of survivors to stay alive in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.[7] The thespian can examine and collaborate with characters and items, and must make utilize of inventory items and the environment. Throughout the game, the thespian is presented with the ability to interact with their environs, and options to determine the nature of that interaction. For example, the actor may be able to await at a grapheme, talk to that character, or if they are carrying an item, offering it to the character or ask them about it. Co-ordinate to Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead game is focused more than on developing characters and story, and less on the action tropes that tend to feature in other zombie-based games, such as Left 4 Dead.[8]

A screenshot showing dialog choices. At certain points in the game's conversation trees, the player will have a limited amount of fourth dimension to reply, shown at the bottom of this screen. If they don't reply in time, the game will default to the "no statement" (ellipses) option.

Some parts of the game require timed responses from the actor, often leading to significant decisions that volition impact the game'southward story, in the manner of role-playing games (RPGs).[9] Some chat copse require the player to brand a choice within a express time, otherwise Lee will remain quiet, which can bear on how other characters reply to him. Unlike in other RPGs such as the Mass Effect or Fallout series, where choices fall on either side of a "good or evil" scale, the choices inside The Walking Dead have ambiguous results, having an issue on the attitude of the non-player characters towards Lee.[nine] The player can opt to enable a "option notification" feature, in which the game'due south interface indicates that a character has changed their disposition towards Lee as a result of these choices.[x] In more activeness-based sequences, the player must follow on-screen prompts for quick time events (QTEs) so equally to keep themselves or other characters alive. If the player dies, the game restarts from just prior to the QTE. Other timed situations involve major decisions, such as choosing which of ii characters to go along live.

Each episode contains v points where the role player must brand a significant decision, choosing from one of two available options. Through Telltale's servers, the game tracks how many players selected which option and lets the actor compare their choices to the rest of the histrion base of operations. The game tin be completed regardless of what choices are made in these situations; the main events of the story, as described below, will keep regardless of what choices are made, simply the presence and beliefs of the non-actor characters in later scenes will be affected by these choices. The game does allow the player to make multiple saves, and includes a "rewind" characteristic where the player tin can dorsum up and alter a previous decision, thus facilitating the exploration of alternative choices.[11]

Although the survivors initially recollect that beingness bitten by a zombie is the only mode to become infected, it is later discovered that 1 becomes a zombie upon death irrespective of the fashion in which ane dies; only by damaging the brain can the reanimation be stopped.

Episodes [edit]

The game was separated into five episodes, released in two-month intervals.

[edit]

An additional episode, titled 400 Days, was released in July 2013 every bit downloadable content, bridging the gap between the commencement and second flavour. It focuses on 5 new characters, and is presented in a nonlinear narrative fashion; players can approach the 5 stories in any order they cull.[44]

Development [edit]

Early evolution and rights acquisition [edit]

Prior to The Walking Dead, Telltale Games had made several successful episodic take a chance games based on established properties, including three seasons of Sam & Max based on the comics and prior video games, and the five-episode Tales of Monkey Island, based upon the Monkey Island video game series. In 2010, the company secured the rights to two licensed movie properties from Universal Studios, resulting in Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game. The latter included elements atypical of adventure games, including more action-oriented sequences incorporating quick time events, and was inspired by Quantic Dream'southward Heavy Rain.[45]

Sean Vanaman said prior to getting the rights to The Walking Dead, Telltale's Carl Muckenhoupt had been working on a text-based prototype adventure game with a key gameplay focus of having an "agile world", in which objects and characters in the environment would keep to go nigh their actions fifty-fifty if the player did not answer to them. Dave Grossman called this one of the long-standing problems that adventure games had had, as games in the past would have otherwise had to look for player input. Telltale had approached Valve near using this concept for a Left 4 Dead spinoff game, another serial that involved zombies, but these discussions failed to effect in anything.[46]

In February 2011, Telltale announced simultaneous deals with Robert Kirkman and Warner Bros. to develop episodic serial based on both The Walking Dead and Fables, respectively.[47] [48] [49] For The Walking Expressionless, the understanding including provisions for "multi-twelvemonth, multi-platform, multi-title" arrangements, with an initial episodic series release to commence in the fourth quarter of 2011.[l]

Writing [edit]

During development of the game, Robert Kirkman and the comic publisher Skybound Entertainment worked with Telltale.[51] Co-ordinate to Kirkman, he had previously played Telltale's Potent Bad'south Absurd Game for Attractive People, and felt that they "were more focused on telling a proficient story, and I thought they were practiced at engaging the player in the narrative."[52] Telltale approached him with a proposal which, according to Kirkman, "involved determination-making and consequences rather than ammunition gathering or jumping over things." The proposal's accent on the survival attribute of the comics, and the need for the player to brand choices between 2 bad options sold him on the project.[52] Since then, Kirkman became involved with Telltale, mostly providing oversight on what aspects of the story were appropriate components of The Walking Dead universe, in much the same fashion as he does for the television show, staying out of the direct development procedure.[52] Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale, stated that working with Kirkman made it easier for Telltale to craft its story and introduce new characters, instead of having to work with those already established in the comic.[51] [53] One of the few demands Kirkman asked of Telltale was to avert telling anything involved with the comic'southward main character, Rick Grimes, as Kirkman has stated long-term plans with the character in other media.[53] Kirkman had not been impressed with an early on build of the first episode, but by the time they had presented him with a near-final build, Kirkman told the Telltale team, "Holy shit guys, y'all did it", according to the game'due south co-lead developer Jake Rodkin.[54]

Connors stated that from a gameplay perspective, they had looked to games such as Heavy Rain and the Uncharted serial equally a ground for in-game cinematics, while the idea of giving the histrion choice was influenced by the Mass Outcome series.[51] In add-on to the television set version of The Walking Expressionless, Telltale took cues from Game of Thrones and Mad Men in terms of how to develop characters within a brief time.[51] Connors also noted that he found that traditional conversation trees did not possess "a believable rhythm" to dialog, and developed a conversion system, using timed input, to create more than natural-sounding dialog.[55]

The game's story was written with the final scene in the fifth episode, where Clementine either shoots Lee or walks away to permit him go a walker, as the established catastrophe that the game would build towards.[38] [56] As such, the graphic symbol of Clementine was considered disquisitional to the game'due south writing, and the squad spent much time making her the "moral compass" for the game, while assuring that every bit a child character, she would non come off to the player as whining or annoying.[56] Similarly, the scene with the Stranger in the hotel room was planned very early on in evolution, and also used to review the role player'south decisions on a moral basis, assuasive the player to respond, if they desired, to the allegations.[38] Each episode was developed by pairing a writer and a game designer and then that the plot and gameplay manner for that episode would work in cooperation and avoid having one experience detached from the other, according to Vanaman.[54] As such, certain gameplay ideas were left out of the game; one instance given by Vanaman was a scene where everyone in the survivor group was firing on a wall of zombies, just as this would lead to a discrete success or failure, it did not fit in with the sense of panic they wanted to convey in the scene.[54]

Choice [edit]

A major attribute in the writing The Walking Dead was the concept of expiry, whether for the role player or not-player characters. Telltale itself was formed from many former LucasArts employees, who had previously written games where the player could non die.[57] As such, they introduced situations where Lee would dice if the player did not react fast plenty, although the game would restart just before these events, and situations where not-player characters would dice based on the player's on-the-spot decisions.[57] The concept of requiring the players to respond in a express amount of time came out of the prototype zombie game that Muckenhoupt had made.[46] This timing aspect was designed to maintain the game's pace, and led to the idea of tracking the player's decisions. Telltale's evolution tools and engines had previously included means of tracking players' progress, but the use in The Walking Dead was more than explicit, revealing global statistics.[57]

The ultimate goal of introducing non-game-ending choices into the game was to make the player more than invested in the story and more probable to avert using the rewind feature. Telltale spent a not bad deal of time to assure that no choice would appear to exist punishing to the player, though ultimately "all choices are every bit wrong", according to Whitta.[54] The writers wanted to create choices that would appear to have a significant impact on the story but ultimately would be mostly inconsequential to the larger story.[54] At major determination points, the writers' aim was endeavor to have the audience split up evenly by making the dialog every bit neutral as possible prior to the pick; they considered that a split of 75 to 25 per centum was non ideal.[57] They noted such cases occurred in both the first episode, where the thespian has an option to save Carley (the "hot reporter with a gun") or Doug (the "dorky dude"), with the vast majority of players saving Carley,[39] and in the second episode, where the actor is given the option to cut off Parker's leg before they are attacked past walkers or go out him behind, with nigh players cutting off the leg.[40] Every bit such, in subsequent episodes, they worked to alter dialog to eliminate whatsoever sense of suggestion, leaving the notion of the 'right' selection ambiguous, and totally up to the player themself.[57]

In some cases, the writers had to work around the established characters and chronology from the comic series. In the first episode, for instance, the player is introduced to Hershel Greene, who is established in the comics as a bitter graphic symbol due to witnessing his son Shawn plough into a walker in the early on stages of the outbreak. 1 of the outset decisions the player makes is whether to save Shawn or Duck; nevertheless, either option results in Shawn being bitten, and then as to maintain the comic'southward continuity; merely the manner in which he is bitten is inverse. The major upshot aspect of the choice instead involves how Kenny feels towards Lee.[39] In other cases, Telltale designed scenes and choices knowing how the majority of players would be predisposed to sure characters. One example is the grapheme of Larry, who is introduced in the get-go episode as a hard-nosed jerk. Based on the statistical feedback, Telltale recognized that most players would desire to either carelessness or impale Larry at the first opportunity, and equally such, they created a conversation tree in episode 2 where Lilly goes some way to redeem Larry in the eyes of the player. The idea was that this might influence the role player when they must choose whether to help Kenny kill Larry, who may, or may non, have died from a centre assault and be on the verge of turning. Telltale found that 75% of the players now wanted to save Larry, a issue they had expected.[xl]

The writers likewise used the determination statistics from previous episodes to develop the direction of time to come ones. Gary Whitta, the writer of the fourth episode, specifically reviewed all the statistics from the previous three episodes to decide the general development of the episode'due south story. One example involved the expiry of Duck in the third episode. In that episode, the player must choose to either kill Duck for Kenny, or have Kenny do it himself. In the fourth episode, Whitta wrote a scene where Kenny finds a like-looking male child, who has starved to death in an cranium and come back every bit a walker. Again, the player is faced with the option of whether to kill the male child themselves or have Kenny do information technology. They besides included a third choice, in which the player would simply walk abroad, leaving the boy as a walker trapped in the cranium, but this conclusion would harshly affect the disposition of the others characters towards Lee.[41] By the first human action of episode 5, there were 32 variations due to past player choices that they had to write towards.[38] The number of possible scenarios were considered necessary to brand the game feel "organic" to the private actor, making the player feel like they weaved their ain story inside the game instead of only taking a specific road through the choices.[38]

Art [edit]

Telltale's fine art director, Derek Sakai, led the creation of the characters and their expressions. Sakai was told to not utilize symmetric expressions to help create more than human being-like expressions and aid improve the realism of the game.[54] Sakai drew inspiration from his own daughter to develop the character of Clementine.[56]

Soundtrack [edit]

On September ten, 2019, an official soundtrack album of Jared Emerson-Johnson'southward B.A.F.T.A. Honour nominated[58] score to the game was released for digital download and on streaming services,[59] with a special edition ready of vinyl lps due to release shortly thereafter.[60]

Multi-platform [edit]

The game engine used for The Walking Dead was optimized so equally to facilitate the multi-platform nature of the release, which included PCs, gaming consoles and mobile devices, with the aim of minimizing the work in porting.[61] Nonetheless, the development team withal focused on achieving the best control schemes for each platform; in particular, the touchscreen control scheme on mobile devices was based on feel gained during the development of the Back to the Future game.[61] A major claiming through the development of all five episodes was the salvage game file format, which they continually have to update and gear up across platforms, and in some cases, causing existing salve files to become invalid.[53] Unique fixes practical for earlier episodes on 1 platform would reappear as issues in later on ones.[53] Connors stated that for the adjacent series, they would be "a lot more than diligent" on the save game problems, using data gathered during the first season development and information on how players would approach the game.[53]

In previous serial developed past Telltale for multiple platforms, they had had difficulty in timing releases to attain all players at the same fourth dimension. One aspect of this was due to problems encountered on the Xbox Live Arcade service for the Xbox 360; for small publishers, like Telltale at the time, they had to conform with larger publishers to allocate a slot inside the Arcade'southward release schedule several months in advance, making it difficult to coordinate with releases on other platforms.[57] After the success of the Back to the Future and Jurassic Park games, nevertheless, Telltale were able to officially attain a publisher status on Xbox Live, giving them more than command of the release schedule. Furthermore, they had designed the game such that the second through fifth episodes would be treated as downloadable content, allowing them to bypass slot scheduling and assuring same-24-hour interval release on both PCs and consoles.[57]
