PikiGeek: I lifted my husk from my chair that I had slowly sunken into over the last two hours. I lumbered down from the third floor into the living room, step-by-step, inch-by-inch. I didn’t know where I was going, I just didn’t want to be alone. I found my girlfriend binging on SVU so I sat down next to her not saying anything. “Are you okay?” she asked. I said yeah, but a lot of weird stuff just happened. A lot of weird stuff. I had just wrapped up the final episode of The Walking Dead, something I’ve been hesitant to do for a few weeks. Instead I opted to spend my time in the wonders of Nintendo Land far away from the dystopian Walking Dead fiction. But I’m glad I finished because a game of this caliber only comes along once in a long shambling while.

Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
