   to be honest, it would have the same amount of ‘game’ than telltales modern version and would be more suited for the old style text based adventure game.

      Indeed. I can already imagine it…

      You locked the door after entering the house. A walker sneaked up behind you while you were in the kitchen and is attacking you. Blood is on the floor near the exit to the kitchen. A little girl is standing outside the sliding door of the house holding a hammer.

      What do you do next?

               This is a good summary of my every attempt at text-based adventure games, and in a sense with all “story-driven” games. If the story’s so great, couldn’t I just read the story?

      Infocom text adventures still stand up well now.
      They made you think, having to create to world in your head. Frantically mashing at the keyboard does not help.
