John Scott Tynes: Transubstantiating the aether since 1995

Home

July 23, 2012

Just finished the first episode of Telltale’s Walking Dead game. The adventure game stuff is about as dull as ever, but the writing, voice acting, and art direction are solid. None of it is really thrilling, but what is thrilling is choosing what kind of a person your character is while the clock ticks down as you make dialogue choices. It has that improv quality: you have to make a strong choice, right now, and live with it. That single piece of gameplay is the best thing about this whole experience and happily Telltale gives you a lot of it.
