Like the comic books and TV show, The Walking Dead was set in a harsh world full of deadly situations, and protagonist Lee was forced to make the same kind of horrible decisions that Rick Grimes has faced. Telltale has been around for over a decade, producing episodic games like the Sam & Max franchise, but rocketed to success in 2012 with the release of a tie-in game based on The Walking Dead. With that in mind, Telltale Games seemed like the perfect game developer to take on a Game of Thrones tie-in game. As Cersei tells Eddard Stark in the first season, " When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Being noble and kind-hearted is no safeguard against dying horribly, and often the fastest way to the top is to betray people who trust you and become allied with the biggest bullies in the playground. Despite being set in a fictional world and featuring dragons and magic, Game of Thrones is no fairy tale. In that respect, the franchise is designed to be a realistic rather than a romantic take on the lessons of history. Westeros is not a place where good deeds mean a karmic reward.

Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, HBO's hit TV show, and Telltale Games' tie-in video game all have one thing in common: they make people fall in love with their characters, then kill them off while seemingly piling victory after victory upon the most-hated characters.

Game of Thrones fans are gluttons for emotional punishment.
