Synopsis
Game of Thrones: A TellTale Games Series is an episodic adventure game developed by TellTale Games and based on the famous HBO TV-show Game of Thrones, as well as the book 'A song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin. You play as the family members of House Forrester, a noble house from the north of Westeros, bannermen to House Glover, who has been loyal to House Stark of Winterfell for a long time. These characters are all caught up in the events of the war of the Five Kings, and they are placed in a critical position where every character must do everything in their power to prevent their precious house from going under.
What it’s like
This episodic adventure drops you into the treacherous political landscape of Westeros as a loyal bannerman to House Stark. The experience is defined by heavy narrative weight and emotional stakes rather than mechanical complexity. You navigate branching dialogue trees and quick-time events to manage House Forrester’s survival amidst the War of the Five Kings. The tone is bleak, gritty, and morally ambiguous, faithfully capturing the show's signature unpredictability where no character is truly safe. While the gameplay loop relies on familiar Telltale conventions—point-and-click exploration and timed choices—the strength lies in the atmospheric immersion and voice acting. It functions as an interactive drama, prioritizing player agency in social and political conflicts over tactical depth, resulting in a gut-wrenching fantasy experience that emphasizes consequence and tragedy.
