About the Work

There’s a lot of pressure when you take a pop-culture juggernaut like The Walking Dead franchise and expand that world into an entirely new realm of a Google Voice Activation. But Breeder and Josephmark were up to the challenge, with an acclaimed repertoire in expanding high-value IP like Jurassic World and The Expanse. In a mammoth undertaking between production partners AMC, Folklore, Xandra, TalkVia, Breeder and Josephmark led the creation of a Google Voice Action that would demonstrate voice-first platforms as a promising environment for interactive storytelling. The Walking Dead–Pathways is an original scripted interactive Google Action that places you in the middle of The Walking Dead Universe with 6 hours of entirely new stories and characters. Using just your voice, it’s up to you to lead a team on dangerous forays into unique locations, making the right decisions as their leader. If you succeed, you gain entry to Alexandria. If you fail, things can go very, very wrong. Conversation, sound, and visual design are treated as equal and integral to the interactive audience experience.
