Fans of the “Walking Dead” series can now experience the apocalypse on the go; the first episode of the critically acclaimed video game based on the comic book series has finally been released for iOS download.

Walking Dead: The Game (not to be confused with the app that allows you to read the comic series) follows Lee Everett, an original character created for the game, through his adventures in a world overrun by zombies.

The game was developed by Telltale Games, who previously developed games based on other hits shows like “CSI” and “Law & Order.” Uncharacteristic of other games in the zombie genre, the game is not action-based, but rather focuses on the stories and the characters.

Series regulars (and fan favorites) like Glenn and Hershel Greene will also make cameo appearances in the video game.

This allows fans of the series something else to be emotionally invested in while we count down the days till October 14, when Season 3 premieres.

As for what took Telltale so long to reach iOS gamers, according to http://www.idigitaltimes.com, “Telltale has taken the time to integrate their new interface design into the iOS version of their Walking Dead game. In other words, the company took the extra time to make sure the iOS version had a more intuitive experience by seamlessly blending the game’s actions into the environment.”

Walking Dead: The Game episode one, “A New Day,” is now supported on the following iOS devices: iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and 4th Generation iPods and above.

Four more episodes are planned to be released in the coming months.
