Clementine will remember that
BeforeThe Walking Dead: The Final Seasondebuts on August 14, you’ll have a chance to revisit your past choices and, if you feel like it, change history. Telltale has whipped up an interactive browser-based Story Builder that lets youcreate your ownideal save file for the upcoming episodic adventure game.
Seeing some of the major branching paths pop up again is a grim trip down memory lane — especially the ones fromSeason One. (Lee!) Once you’ve gone through the Story Builder, you’ll be able to link your Telltale account to put your data into the cloud, at which point it’s ready forThe Final Season.
It’s wild to think that Clementine’s story is almost over, but I’m ready for Telltale to move on.
For specifics on save importing and compatibility, the studio has laid out a step-by-step guide:
