“I should say it was an interesting twist because it started off as a Telltale Games adventure. To actually grow and age with a character, it’s become such a huge part of my life,” Hutchison says. Melissa Hutchison spoke to us on the phone back in March, around the time of the game’s stunning finale, and shared her thoughts on the end of the series and Telltale Games as well as what it was like to play Clem for almost a decade.
CLEMENTINE FROM THE WALKING DEAD FULL
It’s a story we don’t see enough of in a universe where children and teens are too often cut down by a zombie horde or enemy faction.īoth Telltale’s The Walking Dead and the comic book series came to an end this year, but with the release of the full collection - featuring every episode of the game - we’re looking back at Clem’s journey with the brilliant voice actress who brought Clementine to life with her pitch-perfect performance. From her first zombie kill to a final showdown with an old nemesis, we follow Clem all the way to adulthood, watching her evolve from helpless child to a mentor and protector to little AJ. At just 8-years-old, she loses her parents and is forced to do things no child her age should ever have to do to survive. We first meet Clem at the very start of the zombie outbreak. Through all of these trials and tribulations, there has been one constant: Clementine as The Walking Dead‘s badass protagonist. After seven years, The Walking Dead finally came to an end in March. But in 2018, midway through development of the game’s final season, Telltale closed its doors, and it was Kirkman’s own entertainment label, Skybound, which saved the series from being left unfinished.
Not only did the success of the first game spawn several follow-up seasons, but it also allowed developer Telltale Games to branch out to other franchises, such as Game of Thrones, Batman, Borderlands, and Minecraft. Much has happened since Telltale’s The Walking Dead, an episodic adventure game based on Robert Kirkman’s hit comic book series, first launched in 2012. This Walking Dead article contains spoilers.
