Play as Rick Grimes, leading a group of survivors through locations from The Walking Dead comics. Each area presents dangerous tasks and an escape route to find while you try to keep as many companions alive as possible.
Search rooms for supplies, craft tools and weapons, recruit familiar characters, and coordinate with companions. Keep up with daily routines to maintain morale, while building Rick's skills and preparing for walkers and hostile survivors.
The campaign follows five locations, from Harrison Memorial Hospital to places including the Greene family farm, a correctional facility, Woodbury, and Alexandria. A separate survival mode also lets you face waves of walkers.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its pixel-art presentation and music, its comic characters and locations, and the appeal of planning and surviving with a group. Some also single out the survival mode. Other reviews describe the daily routine as repetitive, objectives and item locations as unclear, and combat or controls as frustrating; reactions to the adaptation are mixed.
