The game features a branching narrative, in which the player’s choices can affect the story’s progression. The player can also choose to complete quick time events to avoid Clementine or her allies from getting killed.
Plot
The Walking Dead: Season Two begins several months after the events of the first season. Clementine is now a young teenager, and she has been traveling with a group of survivors led by Javier Garcia. The group is searching for a new home, but they are constantly threatened by walkers and other dangers.
Clementine and Javier’s group eventually come across a settlement called Richmond. Richmond is a walled community that is led by a ruthless leader named Joan. Joan offers Clementine and Javier’s group a place to stay, but she demands that they follow her rules. Clementine and Javier must decide whether to trust Joan, or to find a new home.
