About this game

Telltale's 2012 adventure in five episodes, about a convicted man called Lee looking after a girl called Clementine in a Georgia overrun by the dead. You point and click your way around a scene, and then somebody says something and a list of replies appears with a timer on it. Say nothing in time and Lee says nothing, which is itself an answer. The game tells you when it has noticed, over and over, and what it says most is that Clementine will remember. Fights are button prompts rather than combat. The branches mostly rejoin and the ending lands in the same place either way. The timer is what still works, because four seconds to answer makes it a decision about who Lee is rather than which outcome you would prefer.
