Reproducible Freeze The Walking Dead Ep. 1 Motel Scene

[davidz]

Hello out there!

I've purchased the Mac version of the Walking Dead one or two days ago and tried to play. Everything went fine until I reached the motel scene with the bitten lady locked up in the room.

I could kill all zombies and open the door with the axe. The dialog with the girl is starting normally but freezes after she sees the gun in the hand of one of my team mates. I have checked all three answers and waited until my time runs out. All that happens is that I see "you made a difficult decision" and the screen freezes. The music continues to play but no user input is accepted. To get out of the game I have to press CMD+ALT+ESC and kill the process.
The in-built debugger of OS X just came up once telling me about some memory issues.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

See the console output of my two last tries:
