The Walking Dead: Season Two

The game is set over a year after the first game and follows Clementine, who initially travels with Omid and Christa. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, she must survive on her own and find new people to trust. The player takes the role of Clementine, but the gameplay mechanics are largely unchanged compared to the predecessor.

One of the main pillars of the game is making choices: in each episode, there are many decisions to make which influence how the remainder of the game plays out; the consequences may range from small to big. Those decisions, including Clementine's answers in conversions, have to be made within a time limit.

The game also reacts to some decisions made in the first game when a savegame is imported.

Sometimes Clementine has the opportunity to explore a small area and interact with items or people in order to reach her next goal or just to learn more about the situation. The game uses a mix between direct movement of the character and using a cursor to choose an item to interact with: after hovering over an object, a list of possible actions pops up.

The frequent action sequences play out in quick-time events; the player has to press the correct buttons or click on the correct spot on the screen under time pressure. In other cases, there are mini games of the same complexity to solve.
