Just like the main series, while the zombies are ostensibly the problem, the real major issue is the remnants of humanity, and forging and maintaining relationships with other survivors is the key. Almost all of your actions will have consequences in how people perceive you, and it will be up to you as to how helpful you'll be, and whom you'll help.

!! This video game contains the following tropes:
* ButNowIMustGo: Glenn at the end of Episode 1. This is so he can find his friends in Atlanta. Of course, anyone familiar with the series knows it's so he can be in Atlanta when Rick shows up.
* TheCameo: Both Glenn and Hershel show up in Episode 1.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lee [[spoiler: killed a state Senator who he caught in bed with his wife. The worst part is that a couple of characters know this.]]
* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler: Hershel's son, Shawn, who shows up alive in the game, only to die a little while later. He's already dead in the series when Rick comes on their farm.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Irene, the young girl you pick up at the Motor Inn in Episode 1, as she was bitten.]]
* HotScoop: Carley the reporter is quite easy on the eyes.
* {{Keet}}: Duck. Kenny, his father, states that what he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for in enthusiasm.
* MoralityPet: It seems Clementine is considered this for Lee.
* ParentalAbandonment: Clementine's folks left her with a babysitter when the outbreak hit. No word on their survival, but hope is kinda thin.
* PressXToNotDie: In exchange for the usual style of action gameplay, moments of danger are treated as this. It's used more effectively than in JurassicParkTheGame.
* SadisticChoice: You'll be making plenty of these.
** The first real one is near the end of Episode 1 where you have to choose between [[spoiler: Doug and Carley]].
** There's also a subverted one where you have a choice between [[spoiler: Shawn and Duck. No matter whom you pick, Shawn dies and Duck lives.]]
* SecurityBlanket: The walkie-talkie becomes this for Clementine, as she and her parents use it to talk and she feels it's the only way she'll be able to reach them.
* ZombieApocalypse: Natch.

''The Walking Dead: The Game'' is a 2012 episodic series by TelltaleGames. Similar to VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame, you guide your character in an AdventureGame setting through a relatively linear series of events dotted with minor gameplay puzzles and a few [[PressXToNotDie quick time events]].
The game takes place in the same universe as [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead the graphic novel]], only shortly after the outbreak this time, instead of weeks afterwards. Lee Everett is a prisoner handcuffed in the back of a police car travelling down a highway in Georgia when an accident involving [[ZombieApocalypse a weird shambling man on the road]] gets him loose. Now he has to work with other survivors, all while hoping his DarkAndTroubledPast doesn't cause everyone to hate him, shun him, or worse, feed him to the zombies.
Despite involving a largely different cast than the main series, you will see some [[TheCameo familiar faces]], such as Glenn and Hershel.
