The Walking Dead cover

Why The Walking Dead is rated “Works”

The developers ship The Walking Dead for Mac. When you install it through Sommelier, the Mac build goes in instead of the Windows one, so there is no Windows layer in between and nothing to translate while you play.

No anti-cheat is listed for the game, so nothing of that kind is known to block it.
