The Length
For now, an exact running time for the game hasnt been nailed down. Of course, a games lifespan always depends on the player, especially in a game like
The Walking Dead. All we have to go on is that, according to Telltale,
400 Days will be around the same length as an average episode of Season One (around 2 hours), with each individual chapter lasting around 15-20 minutes. With so much going on, one would have thought each chapter would be considerably longer, as each chapter will have to introduce, establish and conclude a characters story, as well as the characters around them. But, its suspected that one characters story will continue to play out in another chapter, that takes place from another characters point of view in a Pulp Fiction-esque style. For example, Vine is first introduced in a chapter that takes place around the first few days of the outbreak. He is on his way to prison when corpses first start to walk. Similar to Lee in Season one, he will be the players (re)introduction to the world of
The Walking Dead. Although his story only spans across the first few days of the outbreak, its very likely that he will show up again later on in the game.
