Game of Thrones is a computer episodic game in the graphic quest genre, developed by Telltale Games in collaboration with Ty Core Frank (assistant to George Martin, author of the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire"). The game consists of six consecutive episodes, the first of which (Episode 1 – "Iron From Ice") was released in December 2014.
In the Telltale Games version of Game of Thrones, the story of House Forrester is told, located in the north of Westeros. The Forresters, as can be understood from the book series, are vassals of House Stark. The game showcases the adventures of five members of House Forrester. Chronologically, the events of Game of Thrones take place after the third season of the television version of "Game of Thrones," ending before the fifth season.
As for the gameplay of Game of Thrones, it is similar to what players have already seen in Telltale Games projects like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, or Tales of Monkey Island. Controlling various characters (as chosen by the player), the user explores the surrounding environment, interacting with various interactive objects, gathering necessary items for progression, and communicating with non-player characters. Conversations occur on the principle of choosing one of several response options. As before, this action is timed – if the player does not manage to choose the desired option in time, the game makes the choice for them. The decisions made often affect how the player's interlocutor will treat them later. This, in turn, influences the overall storyline.
