Last Mile is part game, part streaming series.
The Walking Dead: Last Mile is not a game in the traditional sense.
The Walking Dead: Last Mile is itself aMILE, or massively interactive live event.
To interact, players simply need a surfing app that lets them access Facebook.
“If you choose to lean back and watch, it will progress.
You do not need to do a thing.
The reason you participate in the activities is because you want to have more agency over the outcome.”
Its story arc, most excitingly, is not set in stone.
Those tangential universes simply cease to exist.
Rather than compare endings–“What happened to Kenny inyourstory?”
Will the characters go to war?
Steal from each other?
Work to mend bonds both figurative and literal?
“Do you mean to tell me that people won’t always work together amid a pandemic?”
The irony that such an experience will unfold on Facebook of all places is not lost on me.
“We have, like, plot magnets.”
This line of thought opened up a whole new avenue of possibilities for me as a fan.
What would I have done if someone like Negan or The Governor came knocking at my community’s door?
Would I bow down?
Run into the woods and leave it all behind?
The Walking Dead: Last Mile is set to debut exclusively on Facebook in 2022.
