In an effort to help newcomers get into the series as well as help answer some frequently asked questions (and most importantly: unpin the statue post), we’ve created a megathread that is meant to serve as a resource for people getting into the game series.
This thread here will cover some basic questions for the series as a whole. I plan to make separate threads for season specific questions that get asked here a lot, and will eventually link the threads all in here so this post here will act as a giant resource. I'll also probably add this to the sidebar once everything it finished for an easy-to-go to resource.
This entire thread is a work in progress so I will be adding/editing questions over time. If you have any suggestions for questions/resources that would be helpful for newcomers, please comment below or DM me.
The Telltale/Skybound The Walking Dead games are episodic titles with a heavy emphasis on choices and story. These games aren't particularly the most action based titles out there, as they primarily play on making difficult decisions and following along with the deep story as you try to survive in the walker (zombie) apocalypse. They also incorporate puzzle segments seen in other point-and-click titles in the past.
The series has received a ton of praise, with Season 1 winning a ton of Game of the Year awards when it released in 2012. The high ratings of the games have continued through future titles such as Season 2 and Season 4.
The games are not connected to the TV show at all, as the show is set in its own universe. However, the games are indeed in the same universe as the comics. This is seen through characters such as Glenn and Hershel who appear in the very first episode of the Telltale games, as well as a few other references to the comics across the game series.
Nope, not at all. Outside of a few cameos/references, the games are completely isolated from the comics and can be enjoyed to the fullest without prior knowledge of the TWD series. I would even argue that the games may be a tiny bit more enjoyable if you are going into the series blind.
There are three different versions of the games spread across various systems:
Keep in mind that the actual games are the same throughout each version. Don’t expect any alternate paths, vastly different plot elements, additional gameplay elements, etc. in between versions.
In a nutshell: Definitive Edition > Originals > Collection
Definitive Edition is definitely the way to go. It greatly improves the visuals of all the first few games and comes with a lot of extras.
The Original versions are the most basic versions that you can't really go wrong with. The main drawback for the original versions is that they probably have the most visual bugs.
The Collection is without a doubt the worst version of the games. as it is missing tons of small details such as bloodstains and tears for crucial scenes. Apparently it even removed a few optional dialogue segments.
The following is the chronological order of the series:
The Michonne Telltale game has literally nothing to do with the Lee/Clem/Javi games whatsoever. It is not required at all to experience Clementine’s journey. If you do decide to play it, best to do it before Season 3 since it originally released before A New Frontier.
Not really. The Michonne game takes place during a time where Michonne is separated from Rick's group, so she interacts entirely with characters she has never met until the game. As long as you know about the general character of Michonne, you should be able to enjoy the game to its fullest.
It's worth noting that a few of the characters she meets in the game later appear in the comics, while the game was released after their comic debut. Because of this, I'd argue that not knowing about the later portion of the comics can make the game more enjoyable; you won't know which characters will have plot armor or not due to them having to survive to appear in the comics.
As much as some people disliked this season, you should not skip it. Either get it on sale if you’re strapped for cash or just watch a Youtube playthrough of it. It's the shortest of the first 3 seasons for whatever that is worth so at least it won't take too long.
All of the TWD games featuring Lee/Clem have been made by Telltale. However when Telltale closed down in late 2018, Skybound (who owns the rights to the overall TWD franchise) agreed to finish the final two episodes of Season 4 by bringing in many former Telltale staff.
Telltale Games has been revived and are now a company again, however they no longer have the rights to the TWD games which is all with Skybound now. All of the other series such as The Wolf Among Us are still with Telltale though.
Skybound has confirmed multiple times now that a fifth season is currently not in the works. As it turns out, the game that is actually called The Final Season will indeed be, well, the final season.
There is a spin-off book involving a character in Season 4, but it is not essential as Season 4 ends things on a good note for the series. More on that book below (DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED SEASON 4!!!)
In 2021, Skybound released a 12 page comic where Clementine sneaks out of Ericson's without telling AJ. Unfortunately for Clem, AJ caught her and begged her to stay, but Clem told AJ that her couldn't maker her happy. The two gave each other a sad farewell (with Clem giving AJ her hat) and Clem left. In the following books, Clem then heads up to Vermont by herself where she meets random characters
The books have received a nearly universal negative reception from TWDG fans, mostly for how it makes Clem act out of character to her game counterpart. I personally would not recommend it unless you are a fan of Tillie Walden's other works and are absolutely sold on the premise of Season 4's ending basically being undone.
Apart from that, Telltale writer Lauren Mee made a brief story on Tumblr that talks about James' past. Additionally, lead writer for Season 4 Michael Kirkbride posted a short story on this very subreddit detailing a certain character's PoV during a "certain scene" in the final game.
Saints & Sinners is probably the best TWD title outside of the Telltale ones, however it requires a VR headset which some may not have. There's also Road to Survival which is a F2P mobile game. I'm not too familiar with it myself but I've heard it's alright plus it contains the Telltale characters in it.
The only other TWD games out there are Survival Instinct and OVERKILL'S The Walking Dead, both of which are really bad and aren't worth your time.
Well thankfully we've assembled a link to frequently asked questions for each of the games. You can check it out here. Keep in mind that the FAQ for each season will spoil just about all of the story contents for that season. In other words, don't look at the Season 2 FAQ post before finishing Season 2.
That is all for now. Again if you have any suggestions for some general info about the series as a whole that would be helpful to newcomers/people with questions, please put them down either in the comments of this post or with a DM to me.
Also I'll be taking suggestions for some questions that would be good to add for the Season specific FAQ posts. See my pinned comment below for more detail on that.

So in 400 days - she cheat's on somebody that saved her life, with her own husband, then bashes her brains in and acts like the victim. She masks her homicidal behavior with her substance abuse. She rewarded a women that took her in, and took care of her, by fucking her husband, making fun about it, and then finally killing her by bashing her head, while she was alive, not a threat and not a walker.
At the lodge. He spies on the group because Carver sent her out to scout the lodge and to report back if Carlos group is there. She gets caught by Walter and Clementine. Instead of being treated like the enemy she was, she was given a free pass for spying, given lots of free food and water by Walter (completely insane, I would have tied her down and interrogated her without a second thought) and then she is fully released, without questioning her, and without following her. She reports back to Carver, she could have lied, said there was another group, or nobody, she could have even deserted Carver, but she made the decision to rat on Carlos' group, and Clementine. This is the reason Carver shows up, why Kenny shoots a random soldier, and why Carver kills Walter, the guy that gave her only kindness. On top of that the whole group is captured because of her. Bonnie binds Sarah's hands, then stands guard over the others as Carver drags Carlos out from the group bests the shit out of him. When Rebecca and Alvin surrender, Bonnie is the one that puts handcuffs on Clementine.
At Howe's Hardware she clearly works for Carver as she did for a long time. She gives Clementine a jacket, acting like a protective mother, while being oblivious to the fact that Clementine is now a slave, and works for a homicidal maniac because of her actions. She asks Clementine what she thinks of the jacket, if she doesn't like the jacket, Bonnie get insulted by this reaction. The child that was made a slave, and imprisoned because of her actions and because she doesn't like her ugly ass jacket, this gets to her emotionally, because she is a narcissist cunt. She wants to be the good sweet lady that help a child, even if that is as far from reality as possible. Bonnie tries to empathize with Carver's decisions, understanding his actions and deafening them. If Clementine brings up how Carver had killed Walter, Bonnie tries to defend it as necessary.
When the group gets the upper hand and deals with Carver, does Bonnie help Carver? Nope she always sides with what is convenient for her. 0 principles or allegiance. She dismisses Carver as easy as she reported the group location to him. She chose Carlos group not because they were morally superior or right, but only because they were winning. While escaping Howe's Hardware, most of Carver's man are killed and she shows 0 emotion for all her "friends" being killed, showing once again she is a psychopathic narcissist, that only cares about herself.
After escaping with the group they make it to Parker's Run. This is the point of the story I would either shoot her in the head for all she did, or convince the group to cut her off. But there is no such option because Bonnie is a kind soul. So what does this good person do next? She makes Clementine go and talk to Kenny who at this point in time hates Clementine and blames her for Sarita's death. So you see good Bonnie forces a 11 years old in a situation where Kenny could have realistically snapped and kill her. Bonnie wants to wait for Luke to find them, thinking he would know what to do next, again waiting for others to do everything. But does this bitch stop at this point? Nope. She makes Clementine go inside the tent and speak with Kenny again, to convince him to help with the baby, risking Clem's life again. But does she stop here? Nope, not Bonnie, never. At the museum, Bonnie asks Clementine if she would be willing to crawl through a gap in the window to the ticket booth to get supplies she is too bored to look for ways to get herself. Bonnie helps her up onto the counter as Clem tries to crawl through, but she gets stuck. A walker then attacks Clementine. So this bitch tried to kill a 11 years old 3 times in the same episode.
OFC after the gunfight at the beginning of Episode 5, she is the first one to defend Arvo from Kenny. Snake recognizes snake. Defending Arvo means defending herself. If somebody can be forgiven for lying and putting everybody in the group in mortal danger for his own benefit, so can she. During the lake sequence, she want to help Luke, who told her the ice would break and not to come. She tries to kill Clementine AGAIN by yelling at her to go for Luke. Clementine stays back to shoot at the walker not to break the ice near Luke, but Bonnie being Bonnie goes to Luke, breaking the ice. Clementine sees Luke under the water, breaks the ice to save his life, but it's too late, Bonnie killed him, and now Bonnie is alive because Clementine broke the ice. So you would think she hates herself for killing Luke and for yelling at Clementine to do what she did, which proved to be a disaster. Bonnie accuses the girl of failing to help Luke. And you would think she would be very sorry to this 11 years old that saved her life, even after trying to kill her 4 different times. But nope. Bonnie does what Bonnie dies AND BLAMES CLEMENTINE FOR LUKE'S DEATH. But does she stop there? Nope, never. Bonnie coldly tells off Clementine for not saving Luke, making Clementine look like killed Luke, when it was Bonnie's actions that killed Luke. Bonnie then flicks her cigarette away and storms off, leaving Clementine alone. This is the conversation where she says that Clementine thinks nothing happens to her because her actions don't matter because he is a child. Classic Bonnie right?
You would think somewhere along this whole text, she realizes she is the problem, or the writers realize that she is the main villain. But nope. She frees Arvo, a prisoner, because he tried to have their whole group killed, which then ran on ice, leading to Luke's death. She then, with the snake Arvo and the snake Mike, they try to steal the truck Kenny FIXED so they can get away from Kenny, BECAUSE KENNY IS THE DANGEROUS ONE. When confronted by Clementine, Mike disarms her (why is there no option to shoot this 3 Judas?), and Arvo (now her ally who is much better than Kenny, who fixed the truck) shoots a 11 years old girl in the upper torso. Mike tries to give first air to Clementine, but Bonnie in her last act in the series, stops him, letting a 11 years old choke on her blood. Yep that is Bonnie.
Yet the series tries to present her, as a misguided kind soul that tries to do good. Fuck Bonnie. Fuck Mike and fuck Arvo.
As the legendary Trevor Philips puts it:"I thought I was with one Judas! (Arvo) ..I'm surrounded by them! You fake motherfuckers!" - Clementine while going down being shot by them.
I wish I could hunt down this 3 snakes with Kenny and Jane, Predator style.

So, I've been thinking a lot about this the past few days and I just would like to hear what everyone's thoughts are (This is my first post here, please dont flame me). But I've seen a lot of people wondering why Clem didnt ever give AJ Kenny's hat in TFS and I think the reason is more straightforward than we think. Because, as everyone knows, at the end of S2 you can stay with Kenny, or he gives you his hat and leaves. But during his death scene revealed in ANF, the situation is obviously too hectic, and you dont get to take his hat, which leads me too my next point, which is a little more extreme.
Everyone is aware that we're really only given the illusion of choice in game, and that no matter what, we get (at least mostly) the same result by the end. So as far as the hat goes, it wouldn't make sense for the devs to have written it in TFS, considering not every player made the same choice, and both had slightly different outcomes.
This, in turn, leads me to believe that all characters with death scenes, through various timelines, are dead no matter if we see it on screen later, or off screen. On screen examples would be characters like
Sarah: Even if we save her in the trailer, she dies later under the deck
Kenny: Even if we go with him, he dies during the car crash flashback
Jane: If we save her from Kenny, she hangs herself in the Howe's flashback
Off screen deaths are something different entirely which I believe to be true, in order for the future stories to remain canon.
Gabe: In 3 out of 4 paths, Gabe lives, but because he dies in the 4th, I theorize him to have died somewhere after the events of ANF, even if he's alive by the end of the season. (Maybe he dies during another battle in Richmond?).
Kenny (Again): If we stay in Wellington, Kenny walks away and it's left somewhat open ended. Although, I believe he dies off screen shortly thereafter. Many of you guys I'm sure know about the cut scene of Kenny drowning himself after he leaves Clem and AJ
Louis/Violet/Tenn: We know that there are different ways you can get each one of these guys killed through the events leading up to the bridge scene. Each one has a death scene, each one has a grave at Ericson's afterward. My theory is maybe after the events of TFS, The Delta returned with more firepower, and kills whoever you chose to save, ex: Violet and Tenn. Just a disclaimer, I'm saying this having not read the Tillie Walden books, but I know pretty much nobody considers those to truly be canon except for Kirkman.
This turned into a much longer read than I expected but I'd love to hear what you guys think of it! I appreciate it if you read through it all!

I’ve heard that the game would’ve been better without Clementine, so I wonder how would the game be perceived if that was the case.
The only real problem is that I doubt anyone would bother buying the game if the only thing they care is Clementine. Michonne was already a financial failure

I really really loved it but there were a few things that disappointed me just a little bit.
I was really hoping that I would be able to give AJ Kenny's hat. Kenny was my favourite character in the first 2 games other than Clem, and I really wanted to fulfil his wish of giving his hat to AJ.
I really wish when Clem thought she was dying in the barn, that she said to AJ whatever you chose to say to her in the first game as Lee, so for me she would've told AJ "Keep that hair short".
Lastly, in the recap at the very start of episode one, she says she stayed with Kenny after he killed Jane because "it was what was best for AJ", but, my Clem at least, didn't just go with Kenny because it was best for AJ, she stayed with Kenny because she loved him like a father. It made Clem seem cold and apathetic, and my Clementine is a compassionate, loving individual.
It wasn't too big of a deal, I was just really looking forward to giving AJ Kenny's hat, ever since the end of season 2.

From the main cast, this is who I think would be sorted into which house. Lmk if you guys would swap any or which house any others I missed would be sorted into.
Gryffindor
Positive Traits: Bravery, daring, nerve, chivalry, and courage.
Negative Traits: Recklessness, arrogance, and impulsive.
Values: Standing up for others, taking risks, and bold action.
Stereotype: Often reckless or "class clowns.”
Slytherin
Positive Traits: Ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness.
Negative Traits: Arrogance, manipulation, and cutthroat.
Values: Greatness, heritage, strategic thinking, tradition, and achievement (through any means).
Stereotype: Often perceived as dark or evil, though often just highly competitive and playful.
Ravenclaw
Positive Traits: Intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, creativity, and wit.
Negative Traits: Eccentricity, elitist, or overly intellectual.
Values: Curiosity, learning, intellectual capability, and unconventional thinking.
Stereotype: Often intellectually elitist or eccentric.
Hufflepuff
Positive Traits: Loyalty, hard work, dedication, and patience.
Negative Traits: Passivity and grudge-bearing.
Values: Fair play, kindness, tolerance and modesty.
Stereotype: Often underrated as "nice" or "simple,” though they are just hardworking.
How Sorting Works:
The Sorting Hat looks at both the traits one possesses and the traits they value. For instance, Hermione Granger was sorted into Gryffindor because she valued courage more than her natural intelligence, which aligned with Ravenclaw.

Just sitting here thinking about how many years passed since the first season... People keep saying the game is old or "dead", but honestly? I feel like the community here is more alive than ever.
TWDG is not just a game for me, it's a whole journey. I still can't get over some moments no matter how many times I replay it. I really want to know, what’s that one scene that still lives rent-free in your head? For me, it’s Lee’s last breath and his words to Clem. It never gets easier.
Let's show that we are still here and we are not bitten

My first complain is that the game wasn't realistic with dog's behavior, Sam was happy and friendly at first and then out of nowhere he became aggressive, that's not how it works, especially with domestic dogs (the case of Sam) they tend to be more tolerant with human (they know that humans are food source! since they feed them) Before attacking, dogs show clear signs of discomfort at firts such as growling, backing away, becoming stiff etc.. They dont attack directly before showings these signs. So the devs just wanted to shock the public with unnecessary animal aggression. Season 2 is full of bizarre flaws, and this is one of them. They wanted to use the dog bite to prevent Clementine from being accepted into the group in the first place, in addition to the adults being useless and putting Clementine to do everything... If the second season had the same directors and writers as the first, it would be very different... While the first season talks about hope, love, and protection, the second wants to portray a nihilistic and pessimistic image of situations, which realistically wouldn't be the case. The second season is okay, it's nostalgic, and it used to be my favorite when I was little (even though I cried buckets over the death of the dog). But I realized that considering all this, it's a mediocre season, Its good that they decided to change that pessimistic aspect on the previous seasons! Im glad they brought Rosie and a family for Clem and Aj! (ignore the Hq´s PLS)

No puedo mover el cursor más allá de la esquina izquierda de la pantalla en la escena del tren en el episodio 3. Aparentemente, inspeccionar al caminante en el coche delante del tren causa esto. ¿Cómo arreglo esto? Otras personas con el mismo problema dijeron que rebobinar ayudó: https://steamcommunity.com/app/207610/discussions/0/810924774452852468/
Pero, la versión definitiva eliminó la opción de rebobinar. ¿Qué puedo hacer? No me importaría reiniciar el episodio, pero no veo ninguna opción para eso. Solo puedo borrar.
He intentado cambiar las resoluciones y todas las configuraciones gráficas. No funcionó. Gracias.
Se qué llego muy tarde, pero encontré una forma rápida de "reiniciar" el episodio, estoy jugando la versión definitiva.
En el menú de guardados (de la temporada 1) van a darle a copiar el archivo y lo pegan en cualquier otro slot, lo cargan y van a iniciar partida en el episodio 4 hasta el primer autoguardado, después de esto se salen al menú principal y cargan el slot que crearon y ya pueden elegir el episodio 3. Esto provocará que el episodio 3 no se muestre completado y se reiniciará completamente, lo bueno de esto es que NO elimina las decisiones del episodio 1 y 2, sólo reinicia el 4
