400 Days Later

The first (and possibly only) DLC for Telltale's 'The Walking Dead' finally hit Steam, a over a year since the initial game's release. 400 Days is a short, chapter-based expansion, with each chapter featuring a new survivor at various periods during the zombie pandemic.

Each chapter will only take about 15 minutes at the most to complete, as well as the final scene. With only a short window to flesh out each character, Telltale did a great job of getting you to feel somewhat responsible and attached to your choices. They also hit you with some hard scenes that really stretch your moral compass.

With that said, it doesn't offer much more than handful of short stories that don't feel to have much impact on the overarching world. There are a few scenes where your choices from the original episodic story are reflected in these short chapters, but it has little effect as they don't impact how each chapter plays out at all, they are little more than set pieces.

400 Days is a great time waster, but the shortness and lack of cause and effect contributes to an underwhelming resolution. That aside, it functions much the same as the original game. It looks good and runs well, and they try out a few game-play features that mix it up a bit. 400 Days is definitely worth the one low price of $4.99 USD.
