The Walking Dead: Divided Home

The Walking Dead: Divided Home is a episodic-adventure series set within the same universe as the Telltale games'. It is set eight months after the endings of The Walking Dead: Season Two; however the story is separated and not directly connected to the other games and set within the west coast of America.

Divided Home uses the same engine as Seasons 1 and 2 but with several major changes. Environments are more expanded, allowing for more exploration. In addition a new feature called The Book of the Dead is added, it serves the same function as The Book of Fables from ''The Wolf Among Us. ''Player choices can now effect whole factions alongside individual characters. Player choices also have a greater impact on the plot, leading to more divergent paths. Minor features include a black and white screen filter and inverted controls.

The main narrative is broken into five episodes. In addition, there is a Special Episode that tells an additional stand alone story that wraps up the main character's personal story. Certain portions of episodes will focus on other members within Clyde's group as they go on their own journeys. Depending on the players choices, different characters will either side or turn against Clyde. Choices also affects who lives and dies.

Synopsis
Players assume the role of a man named Clyde Dover, a former businessman and natural leader who misused his power in his original group and was exiled from the community that he created. As Clyde travels through the post-apocalyptic land, he meets a small group of wanderers who take him in. During their travels, they rescue a woman from a group of bandits and it is from her they begin a journey toward Wellton, Arizona. However conditions in the community are poor and without a strong leader to unify the group, eventually it will collapse. Now Clyde must take matters into his own hands and save the community from its various obstacles. How Clyde leads the community is up to the player.

Gameplay
At the beginning the player only travels with a small group. But after reaching Wellton the player must go on runs at various locations and help out with different tasks within the community. After the leader is assassinated by a unknown killer, Clyde is forced into a position of leadership once more.

Now in charge of a broken community, the player must make choices that will either benefit or hinder the community. Interpersonal relationships will also have a major impact on how specific characters view Clyde.

Compared to Lee or Clementine's combat system, Clyde's is much more brutal and aggressive. Many of his moves involves harsh beatings and ripping off body parts from Walkers. Clyde's motivation for his aggressive behavior is caused by the delusions he is having of his deceased brother.

Clyde's charisma also allows him to pursue romantic relationships and one night encounters toward a few different female characters should the player choose to. As such sexuality has a bigger presence in the game. However the option of being asexual is also possible.

During his first night, Clyde has a nightmare of his rotting brother strangling him in his sleep. In the morning, he goes out with a group on runs in different locations. Upon coming back, it is informed that a few other runners never returned.
