Internal Development Build - 4 June 2013

This article has a talk page!
view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Proto:The Walking Dead (Windows).

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors.
This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment.
Such as:
Mentions of (underage) rape and child murder.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

To do:

  • Get in touch with someone from the Telltale Games Modding discord server, and get a comprehensible explanation of what the build contains.
  • A lot of the dialogue features raw, unedited audio recordings. You can hear Telltale developers giving instructions to the voice actors.
  • A handy resource

An internal developer build of the 400 Days DLC, it predates the final release by a month. It was leaked by a supposed ex-Telltale developer on Reddit, who was disgruntled with Skybound Games for making developers crunch1 for an alleged 2027 deadline for The Wolf Among Us Sequel. Initially, he shared screenshots, but when met with skepticism, he became frustrated and ultimately decided to leak the entire build. “Yes, this will get me in trouble, but I don’t care [...] I’m fed up with Skybound, and this is my last fuck you,”2 he stated in his thread. This story is likely fake3, as Skybound has no connection to the Fables IP.

Opening#

Watch on YouTube

Introduction Scene#

This version features mostly just unfinished assets and sequences; aside from Tavia's picture being taken out, nothing was outright removed, just polished and updated.


  • The intro song "Baltic Sea" wasn't present at this stage.
  • It cuts straight to the logo, the gas station scene had yet to be created or implemented.
    • It uses an early version of the logo.
  • There are no shots showing the gas station, it fades straight into the picture board.
  • It uses different camera angles when showing the board.
    • It used to be a lot shorter too.
  • The surrounding photos used to be more vibrant.
  • You can see Tavia's picture next to Bonnie's when the camera is zooming in.

Picture Board#

The picture board saw a good amount of changes, picturing the survivors with slightly different designs.

Prototype

Retail

  • Bonnie's and Tavia's pictures were left unchanged between versions.

Vince#

Vince's old design is here, as it was seen in the original teaser Vine, as well as concept art. It depicts him with a fuller, scruffier beard, slightly different hair, and an overall completely different face shape. Originally, he was depicted holding a glass, but in the revised version he's holding a plastic cup.

Prototype

Retail

Wyatt#

Wyatt's original picture had him wearing a baseball cap, something which can still be seen leftover in the final game. While his face in the original photograph was completely drawn, the finalized version appears to either be a traced screenshot of his model, or a screenshot with a filter over it.

Prototype

Retail

Russell#

Russell's face in his early picture also matches up with his look in concept art. He looks a lot older and almost nothing like the final game variant.

Prototype

Retail

Shel#

Shel's picture got some very minor touch-ups. Her hair was slightly altered, her chest was given more definition and her skin was made lighter. Some shading on her side was redone, and a lot of grunge effects were applied on the photo. The sheen effect on the balloons was also redrawn.

Prototype

Retail

Rewind Images#

The Rewind images in the prototype are placeholders, all using the characters' pictures, rather than an in-game screenshot like the final game (and the rest of Season One). Another very interesting thing about these images is that they're the only place where the chapters' internal names are mentioned (barring Russell's chapter, which has more mentions than the others). Comments by the DLC's director, Sean Ainsworth, confirm this to be the case.

Vince's story was known simply as "Prison Bus".

{| class="wikitable"

!Prototype !Retail |- |Obj_photosurvivorvinceEARLY.png |Ui_menu_rewind_screenshot_prisonbusFINAL.png |}

Wyatt's story is known as "Roshambo", referring to the alternative name for rock, paper, scissors.

Shel's story is called "Sisters".

Tavia's photo#

And definitely the most interesting out of the bunch, is this one, featuring an earlier version of Tavia's picture! While her picture on the board was seemingly finalized early on, this UI graphic actually uses an earlier version not found anywhere else. Also, the filename tells us her chapter was internally known as "Broken", which is also never mentioned anywhere else.

Prototype

Retail

Also interesting to note, there's a (possibly placeholder) unused texture file simply known as Obj_photosurvivor.png which is present in the prototype as well as the final game. This picture seems to depict the earliest version of Tavia's picture, being a mere sketch. Her earlier picture was angled differently and depicted her with a visible earring, a scarf, lighter blazer, and lighter skin tone.

Final

Prototype-Exclusive Dialogue#

The prototype features some lines that got removed or replaced in the final release.

Vince's Story#

Both of these lines do get used, but the prototype version is slightly extended, revealing a very interesting detail. Originally, the line contained parts of a license plate. While this isn't notable at first glance, it isn't just any random license plate being mentioned, it's actually the license plate of Nate's truck from Wyatt and Russell's stories!

...be advised, we have a 10-55 DUI reported--

After the prisoners look outside and shee Shel and Becca escape the chaos, they'll talk to each other and confirm what they really saw. In the prototype, Bennett then interrupts and while Danny and Justin have more lines, Vince also gets given a choice to reply. In the final game, this whole sequence doesn't exist and it just skips to Danny urging the driver to move the bus.

Speaker

Bennett

What?

Justin

Some guy just started... attacking this woman. Fuck...

Danny

Motherfucker looked crazy, like he was on drugs or something.

Vince would then be prompted with four options: "We gotta get moving.", "We need to stay put.", "Stay calm.", and "..."

Russell's Story#

Two lines as a response to the "Sun" interaction. In the final release, this interaction was cut, and while the code for it still remains, the voice files got deleted.

Speaker

Russell

It's getting late.

Russell

Gotta find some place safe for when it gets dark.

Completely Unused Dialogue#

The prototype also contains a lot of completely unused dialogue that was ultimately removed from the final release's files. Most don't have subtitles leftover and will have them made from scratch for this page, unless where noted.

Vince's Story#

Earlier Starting Interaction#

Possibly the original starting interaction, rather than Danny yanking the chain. Based on Danny's line, it seems that Bennett's name at this point in development was Carter instead.

Danny

Hey driver, hurry up and take us to jail, man!

Clyde

What'd I tell you about yellin' on my bus, boy?

Danny

Hey Carter! Man, what's this kid's name?

Clyde

Shut your damn mouth, goddammit!

Bennett (Carter)

Vincent. Quiet down, goddammit.

Danny

Vinsen?

Vince

Vincent.

Vince

It's long for Vince.

Danny

Oh, "Vince". Hey, alright man, how you doing, Vince?

Unknown where exactly this would've slotted in.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

Vince. What are you in for? Drugs, right? I heard one of the COs say it was drugs. 'Cuz if you got the hookup on the outside, you're gonna have an easier ride on the inside.

These would've presumably been said if you didn't answer Danny fast enough.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

Come on, man. Look around. Ain't no one here gonna judge you, state of Georgia did that already.

Danny

Oh, come on, man. Don't leave me hangin' here.

Vince's Crime#

A lot more elaboration on Vince's crime. In the final game, it's only ever slightly hinted at that the person Vince kills at the start of his story did something to his brother. But it never goes into specifics.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Vince

My little brother was a meth addict. Last year he bought a bag from a bad batch, cut with some kinda shit that was toxic. Killed him. So I got a gun and I went down to the corner that the guy who sold it to him dealt from, and I shot the motherfucker dead. So yeah, you could say it was drugs.

Danny

Oh, shit. That was you? I read about that. Didn't some corner boy get shot too?

Vince

He was no little kid, he was a year older than my brother. And he was a runner for the dealer, and he got in my way.

Danny

Damn man, that's cold.

Vince

Thought you weren't gonna judge.

Danny

Hey, I'm just saying. Everyone's gotta make a living.

This appears to be an alternate version of Danny remembering Vince's crime, with two different reply variants from Danny. In this version of the story, Vince only killed a "kid", rather than two people.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Notes

Danny

Hey Carter, what's this kid in for?

Once again, Bennett's referred to as Carter, and Danny gets info from him.

Bennett (Carter)

He shot a kid, man.

Danny

Shit, I remember reading about this now. You smoked some boy that killed your brother.

Danny

Shit, I remember now. You shot some kid, didn't you? Some kid that killed your bro.

Presumably just an alternate variant of the above line.

Vince's Defense#

A dialogue exchange that doesn't have an equivalent in the final game. It appears to have been meant to start when Danny proposes that he, Justin and Vince should go into business together.

Speaker

Subtitles/Transcript

File

Danny

When we get outta here, you, me, and Vince, we gotta go into business, know what I'm saying?

Vince

I'm done getting mixed up in shit like that. No thanks.

Danny

What, you too good for us, Vince?

Danny

Danny

Look at Vince over here! Too good for us, Justin.

Danny

Yeah? What makes you better than us, huh, bud?

If you choose to remain quiet.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Justin

You know what they say about quiet guys...

Danny

They get their shit beat in, right?

It's unknown what would've come before this line, but it likely would've transitioned back into the part where Vince can explain what he did.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Justin

You know, I'm gonna guess you ain't a saint either, Vince.

Apparently Vince could've brought up again that he killed someone underage.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Vince

Actually, I killed a kid.

Vince

Some corner kid, dealer. Him and his crew were beating the shit out of my brother.

Vince

It's complicated.

Danny's Crime#

There was also a more detailed explanation of Danny's crime.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

She was legal, man!

Justin

Whatever, man.

Vince

Was she conscious, at least?

Danny

Like I said, I was falsely accused, man!

Justin

You're a sex offender, Danny, it's fine. I'm sure you'll have plenty of company when we get there.

Danny

We were drunk! You ever get drunk and done something you regret?! She did that! And then she lied to her fucking boyfriend! And now here I am, tied to you assholes!

Justin

Rape is rape, man. Drinking ain't an excuse.

Danny

Whatever, man. I didn't rape nobody.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

See, here's the thing: women can't resist me, man.

Justin

I rest my case.

Danny

I'm serious, this kinda shit happens all the time, and I always get the blame.

Justin

Oh, come on. You were convincted on like, 5 counts. You can't even count that high.

Danny

Bullshit, watch this!

Danny

One, two, five.

Earlier dialogue for staying neutral after hearing Danny's defense. These are quite similar to the options that would end up in the final game.

Speaker

Vince

I don't really give a shit.

Danny

Vince! You gotta be on my side here!

Earlier dialogue for siding with Justin.

Danny

Oh, come on, Vince. That don't mean it's right!

And for siding with Danny.

Nobody's judging you here, man.

Danny

Thanks, man.

Another version for siding with Danny.

Vince

People lie, it happens. I buy it.

Danny

Thanks, man. That means a lot.

And another.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Vince

People lie, it happens.

Danny

Thanks, brother. That means a lot.

These appear to be lines of an alternate version where instead of her boyfriend, Danny's partner instead told her father... and she wasn't legal... yet... yikes.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

She would've been legal in four fucking months, man. And we didn't even do anything. There wasn't a single witness.

Danny

Her dad found out we were seein' each other and pressed charges. What am I supposed to do? I'm innocent, you know?

Danny's Earlier Crime#

Before Danny's crime was decided on as a sexual one, he was originally supposed to have been a bank robber. Not only that, but it's implied that he robbed banks with Jerry, who's the prisoner that gets strangled and goes otherwise unnamed throughout the story. It also implies Danny is a US Army veteran, presumably having served in Afghanistan or Iraq, based on the timeframe of the game.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Danny

Couldn't find a job when I got back and the VA screwed me on my benefits. What am I supposed to do? The only thing the corps taught me is how to use a gun, know what I mean?

Justin

So? You and Jerry rob a bank or what?

Vince

Three?

Justin

Three banks? I gotta admit, I'm impressed.

Justin

Three? Oh, and I'm the one who's greedy.

Justin

Three? You robbed three banks?

Justin

And I'm the one who's greedy?

Reaction After Crabtree's Death#

A short dialogue exchange that was meant to happen once Bennett shot Crabtree. THIS NEEDS TO GET MOVED UP TO USED DIALOGUE IN PROTOTYPE, IT'S A VINCE CHOICE SECTION, LOOK FOR THE OTHER REPLIES TOO

Speaker

Transcript

Vince

He shot him...

Vince

You guys okay?

Justin

I think so.

Danny

Yeah, man.

Decision Scene#

Some unused lines during the final decision scene.

Speaker

Transcript

Justin

Wait, I got an idea. Give it to me.

Danny

Fuck you, Justin. We don't have time for this shit. Vince, give me the fucking gun.

Etc.#

Speaker

Transcript

Notes

Danny

Tell you what, I'm gonna miss being out in this heat. Rolling through town with the top down on a day like this? Nothing better.

Appears to be an earlier version of Danny telling the others he'll be missing his girlfriend.

Justin

You probably shouldn't have been messing with another girl then, or whatever you did.

Possibly an earlier jab from Justin in response to Danny's allegations.

Bennett

Sit down, Mendoza!

Likely meant to be said when Danny stands up after Bennett shoots Marcus Crabtree. His surname, Mendoza, is never mentioned elsewhere.

Justin

I'm guessing she's pretty pissed at you. Even if you didn't do that shit, you still cheated, right?

Very similar to Justin's finalized line.

Danny

Listen man, you don't wanna be friends? That's fine with me.

Prison Guard Banter#

Some unused banter between the prison guards.

Speaker

Transcript

Bennett

See the game last night?

Clyde

Man, what was Macklemore thinking? Zero for ten outside the paint and he still goes for the three.

Bennett

Tell me about it. I lost fifty bucks on those assholes.

Unused Replies, Etc.#

In the final game, when talking about lying on the stand, if Vince says "It's a tough call." Justin will use the following line in blue. However, Danny was supposed to give a reply before the scene moved on.

Speaker

Subtitles/Transcript

File

Justin

Says the criminal.

Danny

Hey, I'm not a criminal. That girl lied, just like you. See what I'm sayin'?

When Danny spoke of missing his girlfriend, Vince was supposed to reply as well before the scene moved on, and Justin's dialogue differed slightly.

Becca

Ugh. Are you serious? More vegetables?

Shel

Hey, just be thankful we have fresh food! We're pretty lucky, Becca. It wasn't that long ago that we didn't have any.

Shel

What? Afraid no one is gonna wanna kiss you?

Becca

Yeah, right. Everybody here is old.

Shel

Yup. And they know I'd break their wrists if try to touch my little sister.

Shel

Onions are good for you. They help fight off infections and stuff. We don't have a lot of medicine, so we need to do what we can to stay healthy.

Becca

What? I'm just sayin'... Coulda been strawberries.

Shel

*Laughs*

Becca

Whatever, sis. You know, strawberries are good for you, too.

Shel

Becca

Anyway, these are all ready for the soup. Want me to dump 'em in?

Becca

Shel? You alright, sis?

Shel

Oh yeah, yeah. Sorry, I just zoned out for a sec.

Becca

Weirdo.

While prepping, Shel could've asked Becca a number of different things. What's going on with her:

Speaker

Transcript

File

Shel

So, what's going on with you lately?

Becca

I dunno. What do you mean?

If she misses school, which would lead to a choice segment where Shel could tell her if she believes they're gonna meet other people:

Speaker

Transcript

File

Shel

Do you ever miss school?

Becca

I dunno. I guess so. I miss boys.

Shel

You and me both, honey.

Becca

Do you think we'll ever meet up with other people? My age people?

Shel

Let's not worry about that for now. We're with a good group of people. We're safe here, that's what's important right now.

Shel

Of course. I'm sure we're not the only ones out there. You know, Dad always told me; "Wait, and the right person will find you."

Becca

With my luck, Mr. Right is some dead guy.

Shel

I have no idea. I hope so!

Becca

Well, that's comforting.

If she's looking forward to a planned event:

Speaker

Transcript

Shel

Are you excited about Roman's talent show?

Becca

Yeah, it's gonna be fun. Also, "talent show"? Roman would not be cool with you calling it that.

Shel

Well, that's what it is!

Becca

It's just a bunch of people trying to have some fun. He's gonna play some music, I'm gonna read some poetry, I think Boyd is showing off his paintings or something.

Shel

Well, it sounds great. I'm really looking forward to it!

Or about her relation with Stephanie:

Epilogue#

In the final release's epilogue, Bonnie states that Tavia's offer sounds too good to be true, and Becca will reply with a determinant line based on choices in the former's story. However, it seems that originally, the conversation played out a bit differently, and Becca's line wasn't based on any choices at all.

Speaker

Subtitles/Transcript

Bonnie

God, this sounds too good to be true. But... I think it is.

Becca

But if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, right?

Russell

Yeah, there are no free rides, Becca. I promise you that.

Tavia

This isn't a free ride. It's an opportunity, but you'll have to work like everyone else.

There are also these lines from Shel, which imply that it was at one point possible to have either sister agree to stay/go. In the final release, they either both go or both stay, there's no seperate factors involved. Becca has no corresponding lines.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Shel

I'm sorry. The answer is no.

Shel

Come on guys! This is a good thing!

Shel

I'm sorry, I'm not leaving my sister.

Shel

We're not leaving my sister behind!

Shel

Becca, we have to take the chance.

Shel

You are not taking my sister without me!

She also this line which, presumably, is a placeholder recording as there isn't really any reason for Shel to bring the topic up at this point.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Shel

Unicorns are magical and delicious.

This is an... interesting alternate version of the epilogue's beginning where Tavia just... wouldn't come across the other survivors at all, and they had moved on. Maybe this was some kind of bad ending, joke ending, or the earliest iteration of this epilogue after Tavia's story was scrapped? It's ultimately unknown.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

Tavia to base camp, you were right, there were people here. But they're long gone now.

Radio

How many were there?

Tavia

I don't know, maybe five or six traveling in a group? They left photo's, but I think that was a while ago.

Radio

Well, some days we just don't find anyone to rescue. We gotta call it quits on that area, though. You did your best, come on home.

Tavia

Yeah, okay.

Tavia

Damn it.

There's also this monologue from Tavia which talked about the symbolism of the truck stop, and the ever-present topic of the living being bigger monsters than the dead. It's completely unknown where this was meant to appear. It might have once followed up the previous Tavia conversation where the other survivors had just... left.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

There are truck stops all over America.

Tavia

And if they could tell stories they'd be about people, from all walks of life, who are going somewhere, leaving someone.

Tavia

Or running from something.

Tavia

When this all started, people were afraid. They lashed out, and hurt people out of fear.

Tavia

Those first few days were horrifying.

Tavia

But then something happened, and it wasn't the Walkers.

Tavia

People changed. The living... They stopped being afraid and became something else. They didn't measure their lives in years anymore. They measured them in days.

Tavia's Story#

Tavia is the person taking the pictures off the board, and she also appears as the playable character during the epilogue, even though you can't actually control her, just her dialogue options. This, however, wasn't the case at all originally. Tavia's story was still meant to chronologically be the last one, after you played all the others, but it would play out very different than in the final release. Exclusive to the prototype is basically every single dialogue line recorded for this story. It seemingly got quite far into development before getting cut down to the epilogue we see in the final DLC.

At the Truck Stop#

We would start with Tavia and a new character, Annie, scouting out the truck stop. At this point in the apocalypse, Day 400, it would've been abandoned and overrun with walkers. Tavia and Annie would go to the truck stop to find the vending machine with supplies (the same one that was removed from Shel's story). As Tavia is the leader, she would be able to command Annie and decide on the plan. It seems like the two were looking at the truck stop with binoculars from a vantage point and planning their strategy before moving in.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Annie

By the way, thanks for picking me to come with you. It's nice to get away from the group, you know? Helps to put things in perspective.

Tavia

I know, just don't forget we're doing this *for* the group.

Annie

No, I know. So what's our next move?

Tavia

Let me get a look.

Annie

Couple of biters right up front. Shouldn't be a problem, though.

Tavia

I don't see a lot of dead inbetween. Most of them seem to be gathered on the right. I don't think they can easily get to us.

Tavia

These guys, however, they're right out in the open, but there's only a couple and we can easily outrun 'em.

Tavia

And there's the camper. If we're lucky, the keys for the vending machine are still inside.

Tavia

Where is the entry point?

Annie

Check the boards. There!

Annie

Is that the vending machine?

Tavia

It should be safe if we hurry. You ready for this, Annie?

Annie

Ready or not, the groups needs these supplies. We don't have a choice. So, what's the plan?

Tavia

Let's try to get the keys from the camper. If they're in there, it'll save us a lot of time trying to get that vending machine open.

Annie

Yeah, and if we take these biters down, we won't have to worry about them later.

Tavia

Alright, follow my lead. I'll clear out the dead, you check out the camper.

Tavia

We should clear out the dead in the corner first.

Annie

Right, why risk having them come after us? It's just a couple, they should go down easy.

Tavia

We should probably get right to the vending machine. The quicker we're outta here, the better.

Tavia

Alright, follow my lead. You take the two out front, I'll take the one inside.

Annie

Alright, I'll follow your lead.

Tavia

Let's get a better look around first. There's a spot over there that's right in the middle of this place.

Annie

Yeah, that's smart. I sure as hell don't want any of these guys sneaking up on us.

Tavia

I'll lead. Stay close.

Annie

Well, just go whenever you're ready. I'll be right behind you.

Annie

So far, so good.

Tavia

Let's go.

Annie

That's it! All clear in there. You good?

Tavia

Yeah.

Annie

All clear.

Tavia

Good. That should make things easier.

Tavia

Did you find the keys?

Annie

Yep, right in the drawer.

Annie

Too bad the camper's been stripped. We could've used something like that if we're gonna be moving the camp soon.

Annie

Shame there's no usable trucks in this truck stop. Gonna be moving our group soon, would've been nice.

Tavia

I'm not worried about transportation. I'm just hoping the supplies that are suppoed to be in that vending machine are still there.

Annie

Well, let's go find out.

Annie

Were you okay out here without me?

Annie

Okay, just asking!

Tavia

Yeah, and you did a good job on your end.

Annie

Thanks.

Tavia

Of course.

Annie

Good.

Tavia

Could've used a hand, but I managed.

Annie

Well, I was a little busy.

Annie

They've seen us.

Annie

Don't worry about them for now.

Speaker

Annie

Why do you think they stored their ammo and stuff in a vending machine?

Tavia

I don't care. It just better still be in here.

Tavia

It's a big box with a lock, makes sense to me.

Tavia

I don't know. Seems like a prime target for looting to me. Guess that's why it's facing the wall.

Tavia

Let's get it turned around.

Tavia

Come on.

Tavia

Looks like a clear path, come on.

Annie

What's that?

Tavia

I don't now, but it's not what we came for.

Tavia

Look!

Annie

Guess the last people here thought they could stay ahead of the biters by sticking to the rooftops.

Tavia

Doesn't look like it worked.

Tavia

There's some more dead over there. They're behind the fence but keep your eyes on them anyway.

Annie

I will.

Tavia

What do you think the chances are there's some soda in there?

Annie

If there is, you're splitting it with me.

Annie

*Groan*

Tavia

*Groan*

Annie

*Groan*

Tavia

*Groan*

Tavia

Still locked up, that's a good sign. How we doing over there?

Annie

We still got time, better hurry, though.

Tavia

This thing does make a good safe.

Annie

Come on, come on!

Tavia

God damn! They weren't lying. This is exactly what we need!

Annie

Here, fill it up and let's get out of here.

Tavia

That's all of it.

Tavia

Stand back!

  • It seems like the player had the option to shoot the lock instead of using the key Annie had given to them.

Tavia

Got it!

Annie

Back to plan B then, I guess. Just hurry!

Tavia

Dammit! I fucked it up! Key won't go in.

Tavia

It's off!

Tavia

This lock needs to come off.

Tavia

It's pretty mangled. One more shot should do it.

Annie

I think you hit it.

Annie

That's why we brought guns.

Tavia

I know!

Annie

It didn't!

Tavia

Let's hope those keys still work.

Tavia

Let's hope these keys still work.

Annie

Well, it's too late now. You're gonna have to find another way.

Tavia

Maybe we should've gone for the keys.

Tavia

Yeah, couldn't be that easy.

Annie

Shit! Where did they come from?

Tavia

New plan! We're going up. Boost me!

Annie

I'm lighter, you boost me!

Tavia

Annie, you can do this! Just cup your hands tight and lift! It'll be fine!

Annie

Shit. Alright, let's just do this!

Tavia

I said boost me! We don't have time to debate this!

Annie

Jesus Christ, fine! Just hurry up!

Tavia

Okay, we'll switch. But then you'll have to pull me up to the roof, that's probably a lot harder!

Annie

Okay...

Annie

Ready when you are.

Tavia

You got this.

Annie

*Groan*

Tavia

*Groan*

Annie

*Groan*

Tavia

Come on!

Tavia

*Groan*

Annie

You okay?

Tavia

Yeah. Ready to get outta here?

Annie

Hell yeah.

Annie

Well, better them than the rest of the pack.

Tavia

Shit. I knew we should've dealt with them earlier.

Annie

Thanks!

Annie

Great. What do you think?

Tavia

I think you can probably make it across.

Annie

Yeah, I think so, too. Can you?

Tavia

I don't know. We should get you over there first, and then find a way to get me over.

Annie

Yeah, there might be something on the other side we can use.

Tavia

It's not far, I think we can jump it.

Annie

I was thinking the same.

Annie

Really?

Annie

It's not a huge gap. Think you can jump it?

Tavia

I think it's broken.

Tavia

I don't think we have a choice.

Tavia

*Inhales*

Annie

Come on! It's not as bad as it looks!

Tavia

Heh. Fuck you.

Annie

Just need a running start, is all.

Tavia

You know I hate your skinny ass, right?

Tavia

NOOOOO!! AGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

Annie

No!

It's just down and out.

Tavia

Come on, we can follow the highway back to camp.

Shit, girl. Don't do that to me. Want me to have a heart attack?

Annie

Sorry, you weren't responding.

Annie

Are you done?

Tavia

Yup, just put myself up there.

Annie

You think it'll help?

Tavia

Honestly? No. We don't even know where we're headed.

Annie

You ready to get this show on the road?

Annie

*Snickers*

Tavia

*Snickers*

Annie

North.

Annie

Are you done?

Tavia

Yeah, I just got the last one.

Annie

"Tavia, we headed west. Sorry we couldn't wait. Aunt G." Jesus, this is dated last August.

Tavia

Yeah, wish I'd been through here then.

Annie

Maybe she left you more?

Tavia

May not find out for a while.

Tavia

That's it.

Annie

What are you gonna do with them?

Tavia

Yup. First we need to get what's in there.

Annie

Either way, it's been a long time, we gotta move on.

Tavia

These are solid.

Tavia

Nope.

Tavia

Here.

Tavia

This thing looks like it's still intact, thank God.

Annie

We can't afford to be slowed down if I'm struggling!

Annie

Okay, let's go!

Annie

*Steady breaths and a moan*

Annie

*Groan*

Annie

Fuck!

Annie

I went ahead and checked the camper... Found these.

Annie

Hopefully they work on that vending machine.

Tavia

I think so.

Annie

I hope the keys we got still work on that thing.

Annie

Still looks intact.

Annie

What happened to the keys?

Speaker

Transcript

File

Annie

This isn't the way we came.

Tavia

I know. It was too risky to get back that way. If we stick to the highway, it'll wrap around and get us back to camp. You still got that bag?

Annie

Yeah. It's not a ton of supplies, but the group is gonna need that ammo now that we're getting out of this town.

Tavia

Shit. Up there, more rotten. So much for the highway.

Annie

Higher ground?

Tavia

After you.

Annie

Just a couple more feet.

Tavia

Shit... Shit.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Annie

I'm glad we're moving on. I think we've all been holding onto this place for too long. Waiting for something you know you aren't gonna find.

Tavia

I'm just happy we all agreed. Can't afford to have anyone holding us back, you know?

Annie

So we are definitely headed toward the observatory then? You know not everyone thinks that's a good idea.

Annie

Yes, I do. I know it's gonna take a few days to get there, and it ain't gonna be easy. But if it's hard for us, then it's gonna be super hard for the rotten, right?

Annie

I don't know. I mean... It sounds like an ideal place, but it's so far. That community college some of the others were talking about seems like a good idea too.

Annie

What about the community college?

Annie

Well, the guys were talking about the community college. It's a lot closer, too.

Annie

Sorry, I know you don't like the idea of checking out the community college, but it is a lot closer.

Speaker

Annie

Tavia!

Annie

Oh shit! Tavia! What happened?

Annie

Oh fuck! Your side!

Tavia

I... I can't get up!

Tavia

Help me! Drag me to a car!

Annie

I'm not dragging you! That could make it much worse!

Annie

No, no! You have to get up! Come on!

Annie

One... Two... Three!

Tavia

*Pained grunts*

Annie

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Fuck!

Annie

Can you still shoot?

Tavia

Yeah...

Annie

Okay. I'm gonna go check the cars.

Annie

Maybe I can find one that works...

Annie

If anything gets near you, shoot it. Can you do that?

Tavia

Yeah... Hurry!

Annie

This is bad. This is really fucking bad!

Annie

Okay. I gotta do something.

Tavia

Just... Get outta here! I can't move!

Annie

No! I am not leaving you!

Tavia

They're coming!

Annie

No! I'm gonna find a way to get you outta here.

Tavia

Cars... Find one!

Annie

What am I- Okay. But what about you?

Tavia

I'll be okay!

Annie

Keep this nearby.

Annie

Maybe... Maybe there's something in those wrecks we can use, yeah?

Tavia

*Pained grunt*

Annie

Oh God. Okay, I'll be right back.

Annie

I'm here, I'm here!

Annie

I got you!

Annie

Into the bus! Come on.

Speaker

Transcript

Annie

How long do you think it's been now, anyway?

Tavia

Hmm. Maybe about a year? Based on the weather changes.

Tavia

I have no idea. Seems like forever.

Tavia

I try not to think about it, doesn't make any difference.

Back at Camp#

After getting rescued by Annie on the bus, Tavia either passes out and awakens back at camp, or we cut to it. The other survivors would react to Annie driving a wounded Tavia up to camp in the prison bus. Once again, Tavia would pass out at some point.

Speaker

Transcript

Wyatt

Shit! What happened?!

Annie

Help me get her into a tent!

Russell

She better not be dead!

Bonnie

She ain't gonna make it.

Becca

What're we gonna do with her?

Vince

What can we do?

Tavia would then awaken inside a tent with Annie by her side. It appears the wound on Tavia's side would've been stitched at this point.

Speaker

Transcript

Tavia

*Moan*

Tavia

Ehh.... Annie?

Annie?

Either way, the scene would then continue.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Annie

I was able to get your side stitched up, but...

Tavia

Listen, I know how bad this is. You guys must have talked about... About what you're gonna do with me.

Annie

We can discuss that later. Right now, you just need to lie there and hope those stitches hold.

Tavia

I guess so.

Tavia

*Pained moan*

Annie

Careful, you'll break your stitches. Gave you a bunch of painkillers, but we don't actually know what's wrong.

Annie

Thank God that old prison bus still had the keys in it.

Tavia

I remember it smelling horrible.

Annie

Yeah, well. There were some rotten bodies in the back, still. Actual dead ones. And it looked like someone gnawed of their foot trying to escape.

Speaker

Tavia

I can'- I can't move my legs...

Annie

Dammit... I don't know what to say to that.

Tavia

I don't either...

Annie

*Sighs*

Tavia

Why can't I move my legs?!

Annie

I don't know, Tavia! I'm not a doctor.

Tavia

Don't tell the others. Not yet.

Annie

We have to tell them, I'm sorry.

Tavia

I know. Just let me do it.

Annie

Okay. I'll let ou do that when you're ready.

Annie

Okay.

Annie

I'm sorry.

Speaker

Transcript

Annie

Can you move at all?

Tavia

Ugh... Shit.

Annie

I'd like to say we'll figure something out, but we don't have a lot of time.

Annie

I have the guys breaking down the camp now. We should be ready to move in half an hour.

Annie

Our spotter said there's a herd a few miles to the east that may have heard the bus, so we gotta get out of here.

  • Then another dialogue choice segment. Option A:

Wyatt

Heeeeey, she's awake!

Annie

How's it goin' out there, Wyatt?

Wyatt

Good, I guess. I just... I need to break down this tent.

Annie

Gimme a hand, Annie?

Speaker

Transcript

File

Wyatt

Hey, Tavia? When you were lying there and you heard that bus start, did you ever think Annie was gonna leave you?

Annie

Wyatt!

Tavia

No, it's okay.

You could then pick an answer, but it seems every option except the first would've resulted in the same reply from Wyatt.

Speaker

Tavia

Yes, I was hoping she would.

Wyatt

What if you weren't injured? Would you still feel the same way?

Tavia

I don't know.

Yeah, and it scared me.

Tavia

No, I knew she could handle it.

Tavia

*Struggles to talk*

Wyatt

Sorry, yeah, let's... Let's get you moved so I can get this tent down.

Annie

Let's put her over there.

Wyatt

Cool.

Now outside the tent, an argument can be heard, as the other group members discuss how to move forward.

Speaker

Vince

That doesn't even matter right now.

Shel

Of course it matters!

Heh. Uhhh...

Bonnie

Bonnie

How'd this happen? Wasn't Annie watching out for you?

Annie wasn't ready for that mission.

Bonnie

Leland would've had your back. If he was still around.

Tavia

Annie did her best, we just got overwhelmed.

Bonnie

Well, sometimes in the moment, you don't know what's right. You can't put blame on her.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

Annie saved my life. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here right now.

Bonnie

And that's how I felt about Leland... Once upon a time, I guess.

Seems like Bonnie would then follow up with this:

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

Well, sometimes I feel like there ain't no one watching out for me. Not since Leland...

Bonnie

I never did tell him what I'd done, but I stayed clean for him, you know? It's the least I could do.

Bonnie

He stuck with me, you know? Leland? For a while.

Bonnie

I'd be a right mess without him, you know that. Leland was the only thing keeping me straight.

Bonnie

Look, don't be mad at me, okay? I've keeping my own stash of pills. You know, oxy, percocet.

Bonnie

But whatever I got, it's yours, okay? Whatever you need.

Bonnie

Anyway, I'll be happy when you get back on your feet again. Right now no one knows what to do with you.

Tavia

Is that what you told Leland?

Bonnie

Yeah, but without him...

Tavia

Leland... He's the one that helped you off drugs?

Speaker

Tavia

What are they saying?

Bonnie

Oh, well... You know... I mean... With you how you are...

They'll do what I say.

Bonnie

Well, yeah, I just mean, like, right now. Because you can't really do too much.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

I'm not sure I do, either.

Bonnie

Oh, okay.

These might have been randomized, or one might be an earlier iteration of the other.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

Well, Vince is saying we should just pack up and go now. Try to find a small town nearby where we might have a chance of finding more people who can help.

Bonnie

I mean, Vince was saying that if we leave tonight and take the flight roads all the way out into the mountains, it might be the safest thing. It'd take us twice as long, but...

Speaker

Transcript

Tavia

Vince might be right.

Bonnie

Really?

Tavia

Maybe.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

Vince isn't in charge here, I am.

Bonnie

Yeah, but... Right now. I mean, you can't even walk.

Bonnie

You gotta at least think about what happens if you pass out again and can't make those calls.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

What does everyone else think?

Bonnie

Well, hell, I don't even know what I think. I guess we're just waiting for somebody to make that call.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

Well, look. I-I don't know how you feel about Vince, but...

The following line depends on who Vince saved in his story.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

The stories he tells about getting through those first few months and losing his friend Danny in the bandit raids... He blames himself for nothing acting quickly enough. I think that messed him up, you know?

Bonnie

He holds a lotta resentment for that guy, Justin, just ditchin' him when they got in trouble. It kinda messed him up. He needs the group more than he lets on, you know?

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

I know I've always said that I can't imagine how hard that must've been for him, having to choose.

Bonnie

But, the truth is...

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

Bonnie, don't.

Tavia

Go on. Let it out.

Tavia

Now is not the time, Bonnie.

It seems like whatever option Tavia used, Bonnie would use the same reply, which would get cut off either way by the argument between Vince and Shel escalating.

Speaker

Bonnie

I'm sorry, I-I just...

Shel

I'm not disagreeing with you!

Shel

And she's part of all of us!

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

What's the problem?

Shel

There's no problem, sorry if we bothered you.

Becca

The problem is too many people wanna decide what's best for us right now.

Vince

No, there is a problem, and its name is Annie.

Tavia

What's that supposed to mean?

Vince

Annie's starting to get some big ideas about who's in charge here.

Becca

She's saying it was your fault things went bad at the truck stop.

Vince

Look, Annie is... I know she wants to be responsible, but she just can't cut it, and it shows.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Tavia

I'm the one who put her in this position... At the truck stop... Made some mistakes.

Tavia

Whatever we all decide, she'll go along with.

Becca

Well someone has to be in charge! Otherwise nothing ever gets settled.

Bonnie

Annie doesn't know shit.

Shel

I know this sounds like we're all ganging up on Annie, but we're really not.

Shel

I just don't want her thinking she can make any decisions about you without us.

Tavia

I'll be the one to make the decision about me.

Currently unclear how exactly these lines would've figured in Either way, they're probably determinant on how Shel's story was played.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Becca

I mean, that's why we had it so good at the truck stop! When people were listening to Roman, we were safe and we had fresh food!

If Shel and Becca didn't escape with the RV, shel would reply by saying:

Speaker

Transcript

File

Shel

Roman was outta control. That's why people started leaving and we couldn't keep defending the place.

Shel

Clive did the right thing by helping us get outta there.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Becca

I mean, if people had just listened to Roman and followed the rules, we'd still be safe at the truck stop!

Becca

He and Clive are probably still out there somwhere. Those guys kno how to stay alive.

Walkers Approach the Camp#

After this, Russell would interrupt the argument as he and Annie rejoined the others.

Speaker

Russell

Heads up, everyone! We got dead! I see maybe... Eight or nine of 'em!

Annie

Tavia, the biters are here!

Bonnie

They're here? Already?

Annie

Don't worry, we got this!

Tavia could then decide whether to give Vince the lead...

Speaker

Transcript

Tavia

Vince, you take the lead. Make sure everyone is armed and remembers their training. It's just a few of 'em.

Vince

Everyone spread out!

Or Annie...

Speaker

Transcript

Tavia

Annie, can you handle this? There's not that many. We should be able to clear the field quickly.

Annie

C'mon, c'mon! Everybody spread out!

Or give the orders herself.

Tavia

I need everyone on point. You guys know the drill, we should be able to clear the field quickly.

I'll be your eyes from back here. Let you know where the biters are.

Bonnie

Now just wait half a minute. Someone needs to stay with Tavia.

Tavia

No! I need all of you out there.

Regardless of who gave the orders, the group would then spread out and start attack the Walkers, with Tavia apparently having a vantage point from where she could yell at the group members.

Russell

You sound scared.

Tavia

I am.

Tavia

I'm scared.

Russell

No, you know what, you don't get to be scared, okay?

Tavia

Russell!

Russell

I mean, what are you scared of? Walkers? Failure? Dying? Those aren't things to be scared of. Trust me.

Russell

These people look up to you!

Tavia

But should they? Look at me.

Russell

They could do a lot worse, believe me. I met some fucked up people out there.

Russell

If nothing else, you've given these people the strength to go on, no matter what happens.

After the Attack#

EDITOR'S NOTE: These lines have only been added chronologically at this point, the big majority still need to be ordered, as there are at least like four distinct scenarions thrown in here!

With the Walker threat dealt with, the others would take notice of Russell and Tavia. She would've apparently had her wound re-opened after the struggle.

Annie

All clear?

Vince

For the moment, but I think I see some more in the distance.

Bonnie

Oh my God!

Annie

Russell! What happened?

Vince

Okay, we gotta get her outta here, now! Someone help me.

Tavia

Okay, let's go. Just put me in one of the trucks.

Tavia

Leave me! There isn't much time.

Bonnie

What about her wound, though? She's still bleedin', and we could be makin' it worse!

Wyatt

Maybe if we keep her on the drugs, and find a s-small town out of the way, maybe we can still find someone out there who can help us.

Shel

That's a lotta "maybe's"...

Annie

Tavia, I love you, but think about what you're asking us to risk.

Russell

I hate to say it, but she might be right.

Bonnie

Jesus, Annie!

Annie

Wait, let's just think about this.

Wyatt

What? No! We don't leave anyone else behind.

Annie

I'm not saying that, but...

Becca

Well we need to do something!

Vince

No, Tavia has too much to offer. It's been her guidance that's kept us alive for so long. We owe her.

Annie

I know that, Vince. But maybe need a moment to think this over. I don't know what the best course of action is.

Bonnie

Are we REALLY talking about this? Now?

Annie

Well, when else, Bonnie? AFTER the herd rolls up on us?

Shel

They're right. We can't take you.

Becca

We can't afford to use all our resources, water, medicine...

Becca

Roman would say that bringing you like this isn't practical.

Becca

You think we should... Leave her?

Bonnie

No, but... I don't know!

Bonnie

Tavia, I don't know what to do. I think she's right, though... Oh God, help me, I think she's right...

Becca

I know it's shitty, but we gotta talk about it. Anyone slowing us down is putting us all in danger. You guys all know that. Tavia, you know that too.

Shel

Becca...

Becca

Guys, wait. What is this gonna mean for our group?

Annie

Christ, I hadn't even thought about that. This is so fucked up!

Vince

Wyatt, help me get her up.

Wyatt

Wait, are we supposed to move her? Is there a certain way I'm supposed to do it?

Russell

Look, I've seen a lotta shit. You guys don't even wanna know. Believe me, this is bad.

Russell

Forget it, she's fucked, man.

Bonnie

Watch your mouth!

Russell

Sorry.

Shel

Guys, she's bleeding all over the place. We need to fix her stitches before we try to move her.

Russell

But that herd's on the way! If we don't leave now, we're never gonna make it outta here!

Annie

If we don't stop the bleeding, she'll die.

Russell

She's dead anyway.

Wyatt

I don't care! Tavia is a person, not an object to throw away!

Vince

Said the guy who ditched his friend.

Wyatt

Well, I won't do that again.

Bonnie

Maybe there is someone out there who can help. We found each other, we know there's gotta be more people out there.

Wyatt

I don't care, we have to try. Get her in a truck and away from the herd.

Wyatt

I don't know if we can save her, but I know that we have to try!

Annie

Okay, how do we do this? Do we put you back on the table first?

Wyatt

I can pull one of trucks over so we can load her into the back.

Tavia

If anything happens to any of you because of me... I can't have that.

Wyatt

Hey, we can all take care of ourselves! Just because you're injured doesn't make us all incompetent!

Speaker

Transcript

Wyatt

The truth is, we have no idea how bad she is. None! She could be better tomorrow and if she's not... Well, we know how to deal with that.

Annie

Are you sure? I hate doing this, you know that, right?

Vince

We'll make the time. This group still needs you, and I'm not leaving you for dead if I don't have too.

Shel

Wait, if you try to move her, you could injure her more!

Wyatt

We'll be careful, she'll be fine! We'll deal with that later!

Bonnie

I don't know. Are we just being selfish?

Becca

We have too, though. She even said so!

Vince

That's definitely something we can talk about at a later time.

Annie

Tavia, you don't mean that...

Becca

Yes she does, Annie. I know it sucks, but she's being smart.

Annie

Or are you just being selfish?!

Shel

Hey!

Vince

Selfish would be Tavia demanding that we take her. I know that you want what's best.

Wyatt

How is leaving her what's best? You're not a doctor, you don't know what her situation's gonna be like a few days from now.

Wyatt

Dude, it's not selfish to wanna save her life! She'd do the same for us.

Shel

She asked us to leave her! How is that us being selfish?

Vince

Look, "dude", we gotta think about what's best for the group.

Bonnie

It's true, and you might be saying something different than you mean with all them drugs in your head.

Wyatt

Right? I know I don't mean HALF the shit I say when I'm high.

Bonnie

You also gotta consider she's got a ton of drugs in her right now.

Wyatt

I just think it's STUPID to abandon her right now. Seriously, how is that gonna benefit anybody?

Becca

What if we run out of medicine for the rest of us? Or we have to compromise our safety because she's in too much pain? How is that gonna benfit anyone?

Vince

Tavia's smart, and none of us want this. But I think we all understand that it's too dangerous to bring her.

Russell

You know... If she wants to stay, let her. We can't force her to go.

Shel

What are you gonna do? Knock her out and drag her?!

Wyatt

Yeah, we can.

Becca

When later? When the meds have worn off and her screaming is attracting the herd?

Bonnie

You're being dramatic, kid.

Shel

She's being practical!

Annie

Stop it!

Tavia

Annie...

Annie

Tavia, come on...

Vince

We're outta time. We're taking her, now.

Annie

No!

Bonnie

Jesus Christ!

Becca

Holy shit!

Annie

I'll kill her myself if it means keeping the rest of us safe!

Annie

I'm sorry, Tavia! But you know I'm right, don't you?!

Tavia

I know.

Russell

We'll get the cars.

Wyatt

C'mon, we've already wasted too much time.

Vince

I... Had to do it...

Vince

Get the fuck outta here, Annie. I don't care where you go, but you aren't coming with us.

Annie

You can't be serious!

Bonnie

Fuck you, Annie!

Bonnie

You're the one that's gonna get us killed!

Becca

Wait, c'mon guys, we aren't bringing her, right? This is stupid! Tavia, don't do this to us.

Becca

But she's practically already dead! And she's risking all of our lives, too!

Annie

Becca, you're just a kid. It's all gonna be fine, we'll just find somewhere...

Shel

Annie, she's just scared!

Becca

She's gonna get us all killed!

Annie

Vince, help me lift her.

Becca

No! Annie, I know what I'm talking about!

Annie

Vince!

Shel

*Surprised scream*

Tavia

Becca!

Annie

This is not up for debate, okay? We're not leaving her to die.

Becca

I'm suggesting we leave her for the Walkers, we'll do it humanely.

Becca

Shel, tell her!

Shel

Tavia, we...

Shel

God, Annie, I'm so sorry.

Annie

Becca, don't.

Annie

It's okay, I'm okay.

Vince

Enough of this. Let's get the fuck out of here.

Russell

Goddammit, Becca! What the fuck?!

Shel

Stop! She didn't mean it!

Vince

Russell!

Tavia

And finding a doctor? We have a hard enough time finding aspirin.

Tavia

I've heard everything you have to say. I made up my mind. Hell, even if I do live through the night, then what? Can't even move my fucking legs.

Bonnie

I can't believe we're actually doing this.

Tavia

Just... Leave me with a gun.

Tavia

I won't let the rotters take me.

Tavia

I don't want any of you to be the one that has to kill me.

Tavia

The gunshot should cover the sounds of you leaving, and keep the herd's attention on me.

Tavia

*Painful inhale*

Wyatt

But we can do that. That's the least we can do.

Bonnie

Here, take it. Just six shots, though.

Tavia

Six shots is enough. Thanks, Bonnie.

Tavia

I only need one.

Bonnie

Vince, help me lift her up!

Bonnie

Fine, I'll do it myself.

Tavia

Urrrghhh! Stooop!

Bonnie

No, no, you're coming with us!

Tavia

Bonnie, stop it!

Shel

Bonnie!

Vince

Let her go!

Vince

*Grunts*

Bonnie

Get up... Let g- Oh, c... Uhhh...

Bonnie

*Grunts*

Tavia

*Painful yelps*

Tavia

*Painful grunts*

Annie

Get off her!

Wyatt

Fuck!

Bonnie

No! Tavia, stop it!

Vince

Jesus...

Tavia

It's over. Get out of here, there's nothing else you can do.

Annie

Tavia...

Bonnie

No. Not like this.

Vince

You shouldn't have to suffer. I can make this quick.

Tavia

No. Give me a gun, I'll take care of it.

Tavia

Thank you.

Bonnie

I'll stay too. I don't got no reason to keep runnin' anyway. If I can help a friend, I will.

Russell

Good luck.

Wyatt

I made a promise to myself that I would never leave someone behind again.

Vince

If we can make it to the observatory, we'll stay there as long as we can.

Wyatt

I'll stay here with her for as long as I can. Maybe the herd will pass right by us. If by some miracle we survive the night and Tavia can get back to her feet, we'll come find you.

Wyatt

No, I can't do it, man! I won't!

Annie

I'm sorry, but no. You know why we can't take you.

Annie Leaves Scenario#

ANNIE LEAVES SCENARIO, TAKES PEOPLE WITH: It seems that dependent on the choices made at the start of story, Annie would think of Tavia as a bad leader, leading her to splinter off from the group.

Annie

Fuck you guys! I'm not going! I'm better off on my own anyway.

Tavia

Fine. Go.

Annie

I AM! You fucked things up so badly at the truck stop anyway!

Tavia

Annie, don't be stupid.

Annie

I'm not being stupid! Stupid is what happened back at the truck stop!

Speaker

Transcript

Tavia

Please, we need you!

Annie

Why? Because you're a shitty leader? You proved that at the truck stop!

Speaker

Transcript

Annie

You're a shitty leader anyway! You proved that at the truck stop!

Annie

I risked my life to get the keys from the camper, and you didn't eve use them!

Annie

Shel told us the keys for the vending machine were in the camper, but you didn't even bother looking!

Annie

You'd tell me we were doing one thing and then go do something completely different!

Annie

Half the time, you just froze up! Couldn't make a decision about anything!

Annie

You couldn't even make a simple jump! And now... I don't even know if you're gonna be able to walk!

Russell

Annie's right. I'd rather stick with her.

Bonnie

I'm sorry, Tavia. But I think it might be safest to stay with Annie.

Vince

Whatever you need to do, do it now. Either way, we're leaving with Tavia. C'mon, let's get going.

Speaker

Transcript

File

Bonnie

Sure.

Misschien voor de "Sure, I'll stay?"

Shel

*Screaming*

When someone decided on bringing Tavia along, Annie could struggle to accept it, possibly if she doesn't think highly of Tavia as a leader.

Annie

W- Hang on! We haven't decided on this.

Wyatt

On what?

Annie

I just... I don't think we can take her with us.

Though it appears that if Annie was directed well, then Becca would be the one to bring up how bringing along Tavia would be a bad idea.

Becca

Wait, she can't come with us like that.

Russell

Becca!

Becca

No, I'm sorry, but we need to think about how this affects the group.

Russell could also bring it up, with a line very close Becca's.

Vince

Just put her in a truck, we'll deal with this later.

Russell

When? After the meds have worn off and her screaming has given us away?

Tavia

We don't have time for this.

Tavia

Just get me outta here.

Tavia

Wait! Let's talk this over.

Annie

It's not that easy!

Becca

Exactly!

Shel

Becca, calm down!

Becca

What's the point?

Annie

I didn't want it to happen like this, but, fine. Let's talk about it.

Tavia

Stop it!

Tavia

I mean, Tavia, your back might be broken. I don't know how bad your side is. Honestly, what would you do?

Becca

What are we gonna do? Just keep pumpin' medicine in her until we're out? Shel, you remember how fast we went through it at the truck stop.

Shel

I do..

Becca

Alright, let's talk about it then!

Wyatt

Look, I'm not saying we just leave her here to die in this field, but we can't exactly put her in a fucking papoose and carry her around with us, either.

Becca

What if she turns?

Tavia

You're not leaving me here.

Tavia

I don't know.

Tavia

Are you saying you want to leave me?

Wyatt

No, we're not.

Bonnie

No one is leavin' you, honey.

Annie

Of course you do. Earlier you told me we can't afford to have anyone holding us back. What do you think is gonna happen now?

Annie

But you do, Tavia. Right after you fell, you told me to leave, because you knew what this was gonna mean to the group.

Annie

No... I'm saying... I don't know what to do with you, but I know that taking you with us isn't a good idea.

Tavia

Just wait!

Vince

This is ridiculous! Russell, help me pick her up.

Russell

Man, I just wanna get outta here.

Russell

Why not?

Becca

Well, why not?

Annie

No, but I mean... You can't do anything.

Vince

Look, when someone has your back the way Tavia has, you stick with them no matter what. We need to act on this, now.

Vince

Tavia may be injured but she's not useless!

Vince

Look, when someone is counting on you to have their back, you don't pussy out and bail on them.

Annie

Vince, she can't even walk!

Tavia

This might just be temporary...

Shel

Sure, right now it is.

Russell

I guess so, but temporarily putting us in danger is still putting us in danger.

Russell

I don't know, man. It is really bad.

Tavia

I don't wanna hold you guys back.

Annie

I got attacked! Tavia, I know you were trying to help, but what I really needed was someone out there who could do something about it.

Becca

I got grabbed, and all she could do was yell. That didn't really help me.

Wyatt

It didn't help me! I got attacked. I know she was trying to help, but what I really needed was someone out there who could do something about it!

Russell

But she couldn't keep herself safe.

Wyatt

I told you, we are not leaving you!

Vince

It doesn't matter. We are not leaving you here.

Bonnie

So she can't fight right now, she's still smart! That's the reason she's been a good leader.

Annie

Yeah, but *smart* isn't gonna make her legs magically work!

Becca

What if we just think she passed out or whatever and she turns around and bites one of us?

Shel

We know what to do if she turns, Becca. We're not gonna put ourselves in danger that way.

Tavia

That won't happen.

Tavia

You'd have to kill me before it got that bad.

Tavia

Just be sure to keep your distance.

Tavia

The medicine's doing a good job of keeping her stable, let's not go jumpin' ahead just yet.

Russell

The medicine's gonna last forever, though!

Tavia

I can still do plenty!

Wyatt/Russell (?)

Can you?

Vince

Yes, she can.

Vince

She's already proven she's not useless.

Becca

How? By not pointing out biters when we were under attack?

Vince

If Tavia hadn't spotted them and warned you, you might be dead by now!

Shel

How?

Vince

What about those biters that just attacked?

Vince

If Tavia hadn't spotted them and warned me, I might be dead now.

Becca

Roman talked about this exact same thing when that guy broke in! Remember, Shel?

Becca

Someone suggested we just let him stay. Roman said that since he couldn't contribute, he'd just be a drain on our resources.

Tavia

The medicine is meant to be used.

Tavia

We'll use the medicine sparingly.

Tavia

Whatever I'm on now seems to be working. Whenever that wears off, then we can talk about rationing resources.

Vince

That's why we have it, we're not just gonna hoard it.

Wyatt

We actually kinda have a lot.

Becca

Yeah, thanks to me and Shel!

Shel

That was about a stranger trying to steal from us!

Annie

But that is a good point.

Russell

Just ask Bonnie.

Bonnie

Hey!

Vince

The medicine isn't going to dry up in the next ten minutes. We can figure that out later.

Annie

Yeah, *that* we can figure out. But, Tavia, what about your back? You can't even walk.

Annie

Honestly, if you were in my position, what would you do?

Annie

See? This is a problem already! What if this were a life and death situation?

Wyatt

Can somebody please help me pick her up and put her into a car?

Russell

In a few minutes it will be!

Wyatt

Who the fuck cares about some fucking painkillers right now? She can't walk! That's a big fucking problem!

Tavia

Just get me into a car, now!

Tavia

This is insane.

Tavia

I don't wanna put anyone in danger.

Wyatt

Ever try to move someone who can't move on their own? Trust me, it's fucking hard!

Wyatt

It takes at least two people to carry you to a car. That means three of us are unable to defend ourselves at any given time, that's fucking crazy.

Annie

I know! This isn't easy.

Wyatt

This whole fucking situation is insane!

Bonnie

Jesus will help carry us through the darkness.

Annie

Well, unless he's carrying Tavia through this field, that ain't gonna help!

Wyatt

Even if we get her into the car now, this is gonna keep being a thing!

Annie

Tavia, this is gonna keep being a problem!

Wyatt

Well, that's OUR decision!

Annie

Not when it puts the rest of us in danger!

Annie

Anyone who has to move you is putting their own life at risk!

Annie

The longer we put this off, the harder it's gonna be!

Bonnie

I don't understand why we have to deal with this right now, can't we talk about it later?

Annie

Tavia, I know how this must seem, but I know you understand. You'd be saying the same things in my place, wouldn't you?

Annie

The thing is that bringing Tavia with us is gonna put us all at risk.

Bonnie

Just give her some more medicine and let her sleep in the back of the truck while we get the hell out of here! That ain't no risk!

Vince

Which is why I need someone to help me carry her.

Annie

I know that! You think this is easy for me?

Vince

This is a waste of time! We need to get movin'!

Tavia

I spent too many years in politics listening to people bicker! I get a fucking say in this, too, okay?

Tavia

Everyone, shut up!

Annie

Tavia, what do you want us to do? It's bad no matter what.

Russell

In a few minutes, it isn't gonna matter.

Wyatt

We just need to get you out of here! Deal with it later!

Vince

We can all take care of ourselves. Just because you're injured doesn't make us all incompetent.

Tavia

You have to go without me. I can't risk putting you in danger.

Bonnie

Oh, honey.

Tavia

If anything happens to any of you, because of me? I can't have that.

Tavia

I'm not ready to give up yet.

Tavia

If I get worse and it comes to it, I know that you guys will do the right thing.

Tavia

But, let's wait to be sure, huh?

Annie

Tavia, listen...

Tavia

I'm not stupid, I know how dangerous I've made the situation. I might not make it through this.

Shel

Just calm down!

Annie

Those biters are coming! We don't have time to talk about this!

Wyatt

Wow! Annie, not like this!

Tavia

Please, don't.

Tavia

Put that fucking gun away!

Tavia

Just do it, then.

Annie

I'll make it quick, I promise!

Tavia

No, you didn't.

Tavia

Maybe she was right.

Russell

There is no right anymore! So can we please get the hell out of here now?!

Becca

Wow.

Annie

Shel and Becca could've left the group in either scenario? If they fled.

Bonnie

And where are you guys goin'?

Tavia

Let 'em go.

Tavia

Tavia, you brought me in knowin' I was a mess. I told you about the drugs, I told you about what I did to Dee. Hell, even Leland couldn't stand me anymore.

Bonnie

Leland and Dee could've left me, but they didn't. And I can't change what I did to Dee, but I can try to make up for it!

Bonnie

I know what it's like to have folks look at you like you're useless! Like you ain't worth nothin'!

Bonnie

But you let me stay despite all the risks of keepin' me. I OWE you.

Annie

I think you're making a mistake, but... At least we can get you out of here, maybe find someplace else nearby where we can drop you off or get you some help or something.

Annie

We don't have time for this!

Raw audio recordings#

This build includes portions of the original raw audio recording sessions for several dialogue sequences. The recordings contain long stretches of silence, multiple retakes, and casual exchanges between the voice actors and the director. By editing the audio, you can hear the technician and director giving instructions to the voice actors on how to perform the scenes.

Her head textures remained relatively unchanged from prototype to release, but her hands (and the red nail polish) were redone completely.

Notes#

General notes on changes and relevant stuff to document later.

Overall#

  • Chapter select images use the characters' picture board photos as placeholders. Tavia's photo uses an earlier design not seen elsewhere.
  • The game's logo is completely different.
  • Characters' intro's "(character name - number of days in)" don't exist as cutaways, and appear as simple text overlays.

Day 2: Vince's Story#

  • Tiny Carlos' lines appear without audio.
  • The segment after Vince needs to ditch his weapon is "playable". You can control whether Vince runs forward through the alley or not.
  • The police scanner's line is extended.
  • There are some minor line differences for almost every character in the bus.
  • There also different camera angles used during the initial conversation, some from outside the bus.
  • When the people outside of the bus start getting attacked, Shel and Becca are shown in different outfits, and they're also positioned differently than in the final game. Annie isn't present, and instead the bandit with Vernon's design is shown getting killed by a walker. Despite this, Justin has a line where he specifically states that a woman has been attacked outside, so the male bandit might've been a placeholder for someone else.
  • Gore effects for Bennet's wound, Marcus' head getting blown off, and Jerry's breaking ankle don't exist yet.
  • Even after Jerry's turned, his choked body still appears in his seat, duplicated.
  • Even after Vince shoots Jerry, his groans keep going until the end of the scene.
  • The first "looter" that appears on the bus uses a different model. In the final game, it's an FRS walker. Also, only one walker is ever shown on the bus instead of multiple.
  • Gore effects for shooting either person's foot off aren't finished.
  • The escaped prisoners clip through the bus door when escaping.

Day 41: Wyatt's Story#

  • The intro camera angle is different.
  • Nate's truck looks a lot cleaner, and the sound effects in this scene are unfinished.
  • Eddie's comment about how sure he is isn't randomized. He will always mention Tiny Carlos.
  • You can only complete this chapter by leaving the car, if Wyatt stays in the car, you will get softlocked once Nate attacks you.
  • The very end of the chapter features a bizarre little sequence without any dialogue, depicting Nate confronting Wyatt, before cutting away.

Day 184: Russell's Story#

  • Russell has the "Sun" prompt present that was cut from the final release, as well as the relevant voice line.
  • When driving on the road, a multitude of bugged walkers are constantly shown moving alongside you.
  • Nate's "Gimme that." line appears in its original position.

Day 220: Bonnie's Story#

  • The texturing on Dee's model appears rough and unfinished.
  • Shel appears alongside Clive, Roman, and Stephanie in the cornfield.

Day 236: Shel's Story#

  • Shel wears her intended outfit throughout the entire chapter, not just on Day 259.
  • Becca is wearing a different outfit as well, with her model looking very unfinished.
  • When talking about the guard dogs, Becca mentions someone named "Jason" who's implied to be a former member of their group. No other remains of him can be found anywhere.
  • When moving outside to check on the commotion, the scene suddenly shows an earlier iteration of the story, with Boyd and Joyce being outside. You were originally meant to talk to them here.
  • The escape route, as seen in concept art, is present on the truck and the roof of the store, and can be interacted with.
  • Going near Roman and Clive does not automatically start a new scene, you have to talk to Roman to start it. Unused dialogue, which also goes unused here, shows that they were originally meant to talk to each other in the meantime.
