Finally Some Game Play For The Walking Dead Video Game

Take a watch.

While the controls were not in my hand nor explained it does look kind of like a point and click adventure with a few QTEs mixed in. This will either get very difficult or repetitive real fast. I hope that is just how the clip makes it feel and not how it really is. I don't know if I'd be willing to replay a scene over and over because I can't target and perform the QTE at the same time.

Also, even though it wasn't explained in great detail either, I think I will like the dialog choice mechanic they have set up. I dig that it looks like they are going to force the player to remember the lies and details they choose as well as no matter what they still might be found to be lying. Sometimes the best liars can be spotted by those empathetic enough which will lead to have to choose the truth at times as well. Hopefully the movement and "combat" won't bog down what looks to be a great feature.

Here's waiting until the end of April now.
