Don’t expect The Walking Dead: Season Two to be “nicer or kinder” playing as Clementine

Just because you’re playing as a little girl in The Walking Dead: Season Two doesn’t mean the game will be any “nicer or kinder” says developer Telltale Games.

Speaking with IGN, “Episode One” Director Dennis Lenart, writer Mark Darin and Telltale President Kevin Bruner agreed that they — and the game’s world itself — “don’t care” that you’re playing as a child. Zombies don’t discriminate against children, they confirmed, admitting that other survivors might. It’s pretty logical to expect gameplay and story to follow a focus down that latter path.

Action will also change slighty, taking on an aesthetic from The Wolf Among Us and really focusing on Clem’s survival rather than “the coolest way to beat someone up.”

The Walking Dead: Season Two‘s first episode, “All That Remains,” is available from today on Steam, followed by a release tomorrow on iOS, Xbox 360 and PS3.
