The world of Robert Kirkman's award-winning comic book series comes to life on PC. In the opening moments of the game, Lee Everett, a former university professor in Georgia, USA, and one of the main protagonists of the game, is being taken to prison accused of murder. The police car transporting him crashes into a strange pedestrian who is later discovered to be a zombie. What follows is somewhat predictable. Trying to survive the end of civilization, Lee encounters a little girl, Clementine. As the little girl has lost her parents, Lee becomes her friend and almost adoptive father, as the pair gradually meet other survivors. Our protagonist soon discovers that at the end of the world, there is no worse monster than man himself.
