The Walking Dead: 400 Days (iOS) Review

It’s not clear, at this point, exactly what the second season of The Walking Dead will bring to the unassumingly brilliant adventure series. If the new add-on episode 400 Days is any indication, however, it’s going to be riveting — and possibly very different from Lee and Clementine’s adventure in Season One.

Set during the first 400 days of Walking Dead’s zombie apocalypse, the new episode (which can be played through in an hour or so, and which requires you to have at least the first episode of Season One installed) is an anthology focusing on five new survivors, each of whom gets a short story. And whether those stories open on a prison bus or inside a fortified diner, none of them have a clear beginning or end, instead picking up somewhere in the middle of each character’s narrative and centering on a single pivotal moment in their journey through zombie-infested Georgia.
