The Walking Dead: Michonne – Episode 1: In Too Deep is a point-and-click adventure developed by Telltale Games and released in 2016, available across PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. The game centers on Michonne, the katana-wielding character originating from Robert Kirkman's comic book series, and focuses on a period in that continuity when she departs from Rick and the rest of her group. The narrative delves into the personal and psychological demons driving her away from her companions and her weapon, gradually revealing the circumstances that led to her absence and eventual return. As with other Telltale titles, gameplay revolves around story-driven decisions, dialogue choices, and environmental interaction, with the episode serving as the opening chapter of a three-part miniseries built around this particular chapter of the comic timeline.

Storyline

The premiere episode, "In Too Deep", finds Michonne aboard 'The Companion', a sailing ship captained by Pete and his crew, as they look for survivors and supplies along the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. When a desperate radio signal calling for help draws them to the scene of a horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew of the Companion are led to the floating survivors’ colony of Monroe, which just may be harboring those responsible for the carnage.
