The Walking Dead Season One episode order and 400 Days
The correct main-story order and where the additional anthology fits.
Edition covered
Telltale’s original 2012 Season One starring Lee Everett, using the original Steam app’s pictures. The five main episodes are covered; 400 Days is identified separately. Definitive Series presentation, later seasons and the television story are outside this guide. Choice and ending pages contain spoilers.
The five main episodes
Play these in numerical order so the game can carry earlier decisions into later conversations and scenes.
| Episode | Title | Main setting or situation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A New Day | Lee meets Clementine and the Macon survivors |
| 2 | Starved for Help | Food shortages lead the group to the St. John dairy |

| 4 | Around Every Corner | The group searches Savannah for a way out |
| 5 | No Time Left | Lee searches for Clementine after the final crisis |
Other releases with similar names
The name The Walking Dead appears on several different products. Match the protagonist and season before using a guide.
| Release | Relationship | Use this guide? |
|---|---|---|
| Season One | Lee’s 2012 five-episode story | Yes |
| 400 Days | Additional anthology connected to later events | Only for its placement after Season One |
| Season Two | Clementine’s next main story | No |
| The Telltale Definitive Series | Collection with presentation changes | Core Season One plot applies; interface can differ |
400 Days is a separate set of short stories
It does not replace Episode Five or provide an alternate ending for Lee. Play it after the main season if following the release sequence.
A new episode needs the intended save
Before continuing, confirm the selected slot contains your previous episode’s progress. Starting later content without that history can result in generated prior choices.
