The Walking Dead (PC)

The Walking Dead is a game based on the comic of the same name.

Unused Audio
There are many unused audio clips present in the game data, from retakes to unused backstories, different early names for certain characters, and remnants of unused or early content.

Episode 1 Unused lines/Retakes part 1/9

Episode 2 Unused lines/Retakes part 1/20

Episode 3 Unused lines/Retakes part 1/7

Unused Icons
There are unused icons for Episode 1: A New Day.

"Teapot" and the "Hammer" (not the same hammer as the one you bash Sandra with) is not used at any point. Running icon was available in Episode 2: Starved For Help. The rag concept was scrapped, and was added in Episode 3: Long Road Ahead.



Episode 1: A New Day
Early character development: Originally, Katjaa panicked more and Duck was less enthusiastic as in the retail version. Larry was more compassionate and admitted that he was wrong in believing that Duck was bitten. Unused subquest: Doug had his own subquest. In early development, you had to knock the electricity pole on Lee's brother while Doug attracted the walkers away with Kenny's truck. Lee had to cut the electricity before cutting the pole down with a fire axe.

Additionally, you could choose who to come with you to save Irene, or leave her completely. Lee could choose only Carley to come with him, only Glenn, or neither of them. If Lee went alone, he would borrow Carley's Glock. Leaving Irene makes Glenn upset with Lee, and tries to convince him that they should go save the girl as well as check for supplies.

Lee had to find a hammer and a pair of nails while walkers were invading the pharmacy, hammering windows and doors to buy the group some time. Lee had to go to both Carley and Doug, assisting them with the hammer while they held the window/door.

Episode 2: Starved For Help
This Episode had the biggest change.

When Lee meets Ben and David Parker there is a completely different scene as either Lee, Kenny or Mark had to help Ben shoot the walkers while one of the three cut off Mr. Parkers leg. If Mr. Parker was left behind, Lee could have the option of leaving Ben as well or take him with you. If this option was made then Mark would die in the bandit raid in St. Johns dairy, Mr.Parker taking his role of being dinner.

Travis did not exist originally, he was added much later.

Ben was a completely different character, he could use a rifle and was more scared than in the final. He also would tell what really happened to his classmates, and had to witness several traumas such as being forced to see rape. This was a major key factor left out due to Episode 3, whereas Ben dealed with the bandits to save a friend. The group was already aware of the bandits, as they had attacked after the events of "A New Day".

Lee and the group could choose to bring gas or not. If Lee said no, then Andy would come back with some food every day until the group said yes. Ben would stay behind due to the traumas, Kenny replacing his role in joining the trip to the dairy. Lilly was more acceptable to the newest member, teaching him the basic.

Brenda had another voice actor.

There is a dream sequence present in the game data, whoever you didn't save came back to haunt Lee in his dream asking why they weren't saved, and that Clementine will die because of his actions. Mention of Lee's ex wife Sam and the senator Hans is there as well. They end it with "Do you think you can save me this time?"

When the group arrived at the farm, the group could either take the biscuits or leave.(Refusing them apparently results in a hilarious dialog between Mark and Carley/Doug) Lee could also freely leave the farm and back to the motor inn if desired.

Whether you chose Duck or Shawn had a large impact on the farm, as Katjaa will scold Lee for not choosing the kids. Both of these lines are still present in the episode, and can be accessed by talking to Katjaa after Andy St. John leaves the barn.

There was more to Jolene. Depending on Lee's choice she could mention another bandit called Paul, and her daughter Danielle.

The dinner sequence was much larger, as an unused subquest occured where Lee had to cut Clementine's food or let Lilly/Kenny do it. Lee could also choose to add more salt or pepper to Clementine's plate or let the two above do it. There were several retakes of a prayer, and Lee at this point had found out that Mark/David was dinner.

Larry's death was much sadder as he in his dying breath apologized to Lilly for not being able to protect her and her mother.

The group was scattered at first after the revelation of cannibalism, Lee found Kenny first, who was shot beforehand, and then Lilly before trying to rescue Duck and Katjaa.

Originally the group did not find a station wagon, the food was in the barn. After Doug/Carley and Ben saves Lee and the others and after Andy's fight, they all took a box and went back to the motor inn. The supply room was replaced with a bloody tub, metallic equipment and jars containing organs instead.

Additionally, after the survivors took the food you could go around asking everyone how they felt about today's events in the motor inn. If Mr. Parker was left behind but taking Ben he'd tell that it was a horrible fate for his teacher as he was a good man.

Episode 3: The Long Road Ahead
Lee had to save each individual, as the group was scattered all over the Motor Inn rather than saving Doug/Carley and Ben, then save Clementine, Katjaa and Duck from the vicious bandit attack.

Ben was suppose to tell about his family on the train, but it was scrapped for this episode and added in "No Time Left."

Jolene was going to make a return via flashback, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. Her lines are in audio clips. Interesting enough there are screams and cries of her begging for help, possibly rape (as she implies in the camcorder "You rapist mon-!" in the final version).

Episode 4: Around Every Corner
Ben had the option of killing Fivel via gunshot, and an unfinished animation where he stomps on the boy.

He also had an unused wish to die. He askes Lee to drop him because he and Kenny wants to, because he too believes that he is quoting this line "A fuck up for everyone." There is unused audio where he thanks Lee for dropping him, before getting devoured by walkers.

There is extra dialog that went unused between Clementine and Lee if he chooses to drop Ben much to her dismay, as she thought Ben was one of her closest friends and never thought of himself, only the group.

Anna Correa and Doctor Logan had a slightly bigger role via tapes. Doctor Logan tried to get Anna Correa out of Crawford, but was killed in the process, possibly by Oberson. This was scrapped when Molly was implemented.

There was a subquest where you lead Vernon to the mansion, and your group to Crawford via the sewers. This was most likely scrapped due to time constraints.

Episode 5: No Time Left
There is an unused sequence where Lee and whoever came to find Clementine with him, had to navigate through the sewers, fighting walkers.

Lee and his group had 40 bullets to fight the Walkers in the mansion, but it was cut down to 11 in the final.

When confronted with the stranger, Lee has an unused option to tell about Lilly.

If picking Lilly; he'd reveal that she was a good woman who was a good friend until she lost her father, resulting her to kill Doug/Carley due to paranoia.

Unused 400 Days lines
Nate, Dee, Leland, Stephanie, Wyatt and Clive have each unused lines.

Nate has two unused audio clips where he apologizes to Waltz and Jean in a sincere tone, and in an tone that suggested that he was annoyed by this.

In an audio clip, Clive asks Roman; "She had traveled a lot with you right? Was she not a bartender?" It is unsure whether he's talking about Shel or Stephanie. Also, he asks Roman if "Becca knows anything?" which is unsure what this line is suppose to be about. Presumably prior to before Shel had to make the decision to kill Stephanie or drive away in the RV.

Stephanie have lines where it sounds like she is far away, closer inspection proved that it was retakes of her lines in 'Bonnie's Story' though why this was scrapped is unknown.

Dee and Leland had one last conversation before she died in his arms. In the final, she is already dead before Leland arrives.

Unused Character
There is an unused character who is not mentioned anywhere in the five episodes called "Nick Stokes". This is most likely a leftover model from one of Telltale's CSI games.



Early Designs
Bonnie had another design when her first ingame screenshot was released. Her early looks, face and clothes are still present in the game files.

Becca had Clementine's clothes, albeit recolored. Presumably a placeholder until her design was finished.
