The Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 2: Starving for Help – is the 2nd of five planned episodes for the game. It picks up the tale of Lee Everett, a convicted murderer, living in the first few days of the zombie apocalypse. It takes place three months after the events of the first episode, beginning with some dialogue between Lee and another central character, depending on who you saved/interacted with. Episode two will focus around survival as your camp is now out of food.

According to our recent preview of the episode, your decisions from episode one will play a "vital role" in the entire Starving for Help story.

Telltale Games' video game adaptation of the graphic novel has been a smash hit, selling over one million copies in just the first two weeks of its release. It has become the fastest-selling game series to date for Telltale Games. The first episode, titled 'A New Day' topped the sales charts as the #1 best-selling title on Xbox LIVE Arcade for two weeks straight.  It also secured a top spot at the top of the sales charts in its launch week Steam as well as on PlayStation Network.
