Got this game only a few days ago, and it kept me hooked right up until the end of episode two! Especially liked the eerie feeling the end of ep. 2 gave me! Hardest decision was probably whether or not to kill Larry. First time round I decided to kill him...didn't really think he was that nice a person anyway! Second time round, ended up letting Kenny do it...

Can't wait for more episodes, keep up the awesome work! I especially like how even with choosing little things to say differently, you find out more about characters and how easily peoples feelings towards Lee can change. Heaps of replay value! :)

My heart cries when I see a good game like this that is iOS exclusive and it will not be ported to Android.

A big let down of the fans :(

you know the hardest choice for me wasn't the larry thing, i just tried to save the jackass. thought it would help in the long run. the choice i found difficult was choosing not to kill either of the st. jonhs brothers, cause i really wanted to ram that pitch fork straight through dannys lungs oh well. good game telltale i look forward to ep.3

You now when I first met Larry I could not wait to kill that dush bag off but when it got to that moment
when Lilly was on the floor trying to save Larry's life and Kenny was geting nuttier then a squirrel I just could not do and when Kenny didn't save my life after Danny pulled his gun on me I new the bromans with my Lee and Kenny was over and it was really cool thanks telltale keep it up.

Good question and i would have to say my most hardest choices was who to give food too,to kill Larry or not , If i should of took revenge on the brothers and Carley or Doug. I picked to save Larry first, I didn't take revenge on the brothers because no matter what they did i didnt get revenge for a few reasons. 1. was i didn't want Clem to see it happen. 2.I didn't want to prove Danny right. 3. I didn't want to go down to the brothers levels. I saved Carley because she was a good friend to Lee and kept his secret and was a good person for the group. I did like Doug but i just picked Carley for her skills because she would be good if the zombies almost got them......just hope it does not have anything to do with batterys :D

This is totally unrelated, but I'm not a registered user, so I'm asking here: do you have any plans for releasing a soundtrack of the game?

For me, I would have to agree with others here in saying whether or not to spare the brothers, which I somehow did. The other tough one for me was deciding if I should snoop around too much or even at all, specifically opening the barn door before dinner, which I didn't, and should have. Another thing that troubled me, but wasn't necessarily a choice was whether or not to sabotage the generator, for I thought by doing so there would be a slight chance of walkers roaming in, which was my prediction for the end actually.

My first video game system I had was Atari back in the early '80s. I've played many, many games as you can imagine. No game has ever delivered such emotion as this game. It's a strange experience to have empathy, sadness, caring, anger, fear, and countless other feelings wrapped up into a video game. Guilt, however, is an emotion I've never had playing a video game. When the dude who was trapped in the bear trap was relying on me (Lee) to do something to help him, and help him fast. I tried everything to free him as he pleaded not to take his leg. I could not chop his leg off. Then it was too late, and we had to leave him for the walkers. It really shocked me that I felt so guilty not taking his leg off. Then to see at the end that I was one of only 15% that made the same choice. I knew my guilt was real. Telltale, you really have something going here. Keep up the good work.

A lot of difficult choices here, I remember. I tried my best to stay neutral and get support by everyone. However, it just ended up with people drawing away from me. Even tough I critizied Kenny for killing Larry and told him how wrong it was, I still did defend him for Lilly. That because I knew that Kenny was in fact right. If Larry was dying and did come back, it would have been dangerous for us. And then when I first did go after the brothers, I actually picked the teaser, witch I tough would make him uncounsious. However, when I looked at him with the option to kill him or don't. I just couldn't stop thinking that if I did let him live. What would happen to the next group that stumbled uppon them? I kill zombies that eat humans just out of instinct, but this was humans that had choosen to be like them. They where worse than zombies and by killing him, I would protect the next group coming. With the last brother, I started first attacking him and after several punches, and my group standing beside behind me. I was like. He's just pathetic. He can't do much on his own. I stopped and was thinking. Okey, be smart now and draw back. I felt like if tried something, I would turn right back and kill him. And of course, he challenged me and even tough he was just one person, tough of revenge can make a person very dangerous, so I killed him too.

For the next episode, after doing some thinking. I hope I actually get the chance to tell Kenny that I understand why he did what he did. And if anyone new appear, I will knock them uncouncious and keep them prisoner until I get to know their motives.

Actually, I don't think that I felt the choices was very difficult. Except when I had to cut of that teachers leg. It usually don't end well for people with one leg. And cutting of body parts without expertice can result easily with and infection or something witch has been proven through the comix.

Not saving Shawn, but Duck was not only because Duck was a child. It was also because as most people seen the television or comix know pretty early in the series, Shawn will die. So what's really the point in saving someone you know is going to die early on anyway? You would save someone you think could survive? And that incident that happened with Shawn. Well, that may be why Hearshall is so against new people coming to his farm. Seeing that the first encounter resulted in the loss of his son. Even tough we did not kill him, we still got the blame. Of course... I don't think the game was supposed to be tough of like this. Oh, I know this person will not make it. Well, then why save him/her anyway?

And then... since this is based on the comix and we see parts of the world and the story from another point. We still run into some characters we know from the story itself.

I really hope we actually at one point arrive at Woodsbury and meet the Governor when he was a nice person. As he is claimed to have been. Maybe we get to see him from another side. Still, if we would go to Woodsbury when the Governor was nice, then we would probably have stayed there unless me and maybe some other of the group got blamed for something and got kicked out or something. Well, except for Lilly of course.

If we're going to meet Rick and his group, then the game could not actually fit into the comic storyline. Since we meet persons before they met the group and Rick, it could still fit with the story, but since Rick never meet Lee in the comix, they can't meet without making the game become non-canon.

This game looks awesome. I played the Island of Dead and that game was really great but doesn’t compare to this game and I’m talking xbox 360 vs on a mobile phone! I can’t wait to download this wild baby.

The Walking Dead is my favorite TV show series, and I can't wait for the next season to come out. I downloaded The Walking Dead game on my iOS device and loved it. But for nearly two months I've been waiting for episode 2 to come out and it didn't! I am so disappointed and what made me even more sad is that episode 3 is going to be released on Xbox, PC, Mac and Playstation soon while people with iOS devices are still waiting for episode 2. This is total unfairness, I check AppStore every second to see if it came out but as always, nothing. Please, TellTale games, please release it soon on iOS, I am a very big fan of The Walking Dead and I would very much appreciate it if you do so.
