Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted criminal seeking redemption in a world overrun by the undead. As you protect the young survivor Clementine, every decision shapes the narrative and tests your morality. Telltale's episodic adventure blends point‑and‑click puzzles with intense drama, delivering a cinematic experience across multiple platforms, from consoles to mobile devices.

Vincent Brooks finds his life turned upside down when he is torn between his longtime girlfriend Katherine and a seductive new woman named Catherine. As he struggles with commitment issues, he is plagued by supernatural nightmares where a single misstep means actual death. Split between a social simulation in the daytime and intense block-climbing puzzle action in his dreams, players must make difficult moral choices that determine Vincent's ultimate fate. Featuring full HD cinematics, branching storylines, and a unique blend of horror, comedy, and romance, the game challenges both the mind and the heart.
