How Long Can You Play Telltale's The Walking Dead Without Hitting A Button?
In most Telltale games the player is given a variety of dialogue options. One of those choices is silence. We thought it would be fun to see how far we could push that silence option in the entire first season of The Walking Dead and 400 Days.
Outside of any tutorial or menu prompts, we play each episode without touching the controller. When a controller prompt appears, we move on to the next episode. Yes, this is a silly experiment, but we got way into it, and found that the suspense of not wanting prompts to appear was as intense as a zombie attack in the game. At the end of the episode we tallied up all of the times to show you which episodes went the longest.
Let us know if you like video, as we'd like to record more to find out which Telltale game can be played the longest without clicking a button. Other Telltale series include The Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones, Minecraft: Story Mode, Tales From the Borderlands, and Jurassic Park.
