The Walking Dead: Long Road Ahead is the third episode of a five part episodic video game based upon Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead series of comic books. Convicted felon Lee Everett must once again do whatever it takes to protect the little girl in his care whilst dealing with bandits, zombies and rising tensions caused by a traitor within his group. The Walking Dead: The Game asks players: what would you do? Episode 3 pushes that scenario to breaking point, then stamps on its head until it stops moving.
