This document provides an analysis of sounds used in the game "WalkingDead" across four categories: Setting, Mood, Game Genre, and Narrative. For each category, detailed descriptions are given of relevant sounds and their purpose in establishing different elements. It is assessed that most sounds were likely created in a studio, with musical instruments and foley artistry also used. Dialogue heavy scenes are thought to have been recorded in a studio and then edited with software.
