The Walking Dead Game: 10 Horrific Things The Developers Made Us Do (So Far)

1. Killing Lee

Lee IS the player. For the duration of season one we have all shaped Lee in unique different ways. We€™ve made him compassionate, we€™ve made him funny, we€™ve turned him into a badass and crucially we€™ve turned him into a father-figure for a scared little girl who had nothing to live for. Yet despite all of this player control over Lee, we could never change his fate. As has been mentioned earlier Lee gets bitten by a walker, and even if you attempted to save his life by removing his bitten arm it did no good at preventing the inevitable. Now, after Clementine has discovered the unfortunate fate of her parents, Lee€™s condition has worsened and he is on death's door. At this point the player is forced to make the most horrific choice; We have to tell young Clementine that she has to shoot Lee before he turns. Killing off your lead character in a video game is a very brave move and we have to say kudos to Telltale for pulling it off so spectacularly well. The final scene of season one is touching, poignant and simply beautiful. If anyone kept a dry eye whilst playing that scene then you must have no heart. So what were your most emotionally devastating moments so far?
