The Walking Dead Video Game is an episodic video game based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead graphic novel series. The game is under development by Telltale Games. The game can be played on the following platforms:
 * PlayStation Network
 * Xbox Live Arcade
 * Microsoft Windows
 * Mac OS X
 * iOS

Telltale will release "The Walking Dead" in five episodes to tell a full story beginning in spring of 2012. The first episode of the adventure game will debut on April 24, 2012, for PC, Mac, and The PlayStation Network, and on April 27, for Xbox Live Arcade. The first episode of The Walking Dead will be available to download and play in late April. Episode 1 is available immediately upon purchasing the full season with the remaining episodes being delivered monthly thereafter.

Kirkman has said that, unlike typical zombie games such as Left 4 Dead, it will focus more on characterization and emotion than action.

It will also be the first game from Telltale to use the PlayStation Move & Wii Remote Plus. It is a point-and-click horror adventure, focusing on problem-solving rather than combat.

Plot
There are five episodes to the story which focuses on Lee Everett, an original character created specifically for the video game. Lee finds himself in the back of a squad car crashed on the side of the road. Lee has to solve a number of real-world puzzles—such as unlocking a car—in order to escape the zombie invasion. Lee decides to travel to the Deep South. Along the way he meets a little girl named Clementine, who was separated from her parents, and cowering in a treehouse. Along the way Lee will meet comic book characters such as Glenn, Lilly, and Hershel.
