Background: Telltales fourth season of the their Walking Dead series released in 2019, and served as the final season of the franchise.
Plot: Though the first game’s story centered on a man named Lee protecting a young girl named Clementine during a zombie outbreak, this game as well as the two previous “seasons” had you play as Clementine after Lee exits the series at the end of the first game. In season 4, Clementine is around 17 years old and finds herself taking the caretaker role that Lee once did with her, this time to a young boy named AJ.
Bechdel Test: This game passes the Bechdel test: In one scene, Clementine reunites with a woman who was part of her and Lee’s group back in the first game. Depending on the players actions, Clementine can either react negatively or passively to the woman, and the two talk about how things have changed in the years since. Clementine in this game is assertive, capable, and often serves as a leader to both AJ and the rest of the group despite being younger than most of them. However, unlike Lee, she has a harder time connecting and trusting other people.
