## About The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is an episodic adventure released in 2012 by Telltale Games, set in the zombie apocalypse universe of Robert Kirkman's comics. Players navigate the story through branching dialogue and quick-time events, with every choice tracked and permanently reshaping the narrative through a consequence system. The episodic chapter structure unfolds alongside relationship tracking that affects outcomes. Players describe the experience as atmospheric and immersive, with characters who feel painfully real and endings that linger emotionally for years. Critics note the butterfly-effect storytelling creates genuine stakes throughout. Priced at $14.99, the game runs verified on Steam Deck and holds a 97% positive rating from over 24,000 Steam reviews.
