This game flourished off the back of the success of the TV series, but it's every bit as enjoyable and well made in its own right. I'm one of the people who enjoyed the comic and the early series' of The Walking Dead more because they were more about the decisions and choices the characters make in different situations and scenarios and helped to show that human nature is an ugly beast, but very complex and interwoven, and never black and white. The video game facilitates this same process- showing the results of our different choices and decisions through the characters, and because you're playing one of those characters and vested in their outcome, everything that affects the world affects you on an emotional level.

When it came out it was a somewhat unique gameplay mechanic for Point & Click Adventure games, and it's still limited- most choices don't actually affect the world or the linear story, yet it absolutely reaches you and makes the story and the things happening on screen more vivid and real.
