Similar to the previous season, The Walking Dead: Season Two is a
point-and-click adventure game. The player, in control of Clementine, can direct the
character around the environment, examine and interact with various scenery elements and
collect and use objects to advance the story. The player can also initiate conversations
with non-player characters via conversation trees. Certain replies from other characters
may offer the player multiple choices to select from, including the option to stay
silent, with a limited amount of time to make the selection; if the player does not
select an option, the conversation will continue as if they had stayed quiet. Such
choices can affect how the other characters will later react to Clementine which can
influence later events in the story. Other scenes are more action-oriented, requiring
the player to complete quick time events to avoid Clementine or her allies from getting
killed. If the player fails these events, the game will restart at the start of such
scenes. Such action scenes may also require the player to make a key decision within a
limited time frame, such as which of two characters to save from attacking
walkers.
