It?s definitely a testament to the quality of an experience when it leaves you wanting more. And that?s exactly what Telltale?s The Walking Dead accomplished when I came to the conclusion of the five-part Season One a few months back. But while we?re still pretty far off from the release of Season Two, there?s finally some new content to play within this splintered portion of The Walking Dead?s universe with 400 Days, a bit of DLC for the first season that seems to set in motion events for Season Two.
400 Days features five individual tales that all weave around a single location, a diner/truck-stop on a lonely stretch of road, run down and spoiled by time in a Robert Kirkman?s post-apocalyptic world. While not necessarily housing every single piece of the cast featured here, most of the events found in each short story are relatively close in distance to this location, a place at various points that does house a handful of survivors.
But as far as setting a stage goes, assuming this is the cast that we will run with for Season Two, I think 400 Days does its job well. Each of the five stories unveiled occur at various points during the zombie outbreak, spanning a 400 day period. You can tackle these stories in any order but it does seem to benefit the overall experience if you go in the order suggested by the posted photos that represent each chapter. Since the stories do intermingle a little bit, certain appearances or mentions might mean little if taken out of order.
But on a positive ending note, despite featuring an entirely different cast than Season One, all of the characters introduced here feel just about as real to me as the originals. While Telltale isn?t trying to emulate the Lee/Clementine dynamic with this cast, when you get to the end of 400 Days you?ll definitely find yourself wanting to know what happens to this eclectic and troubled group next, which is just about where Season One left us when it ended.
It?s going to be a long wait.
