Telltale Incorporated, doing business as Telltale Games, is an American video game developer based in San Rafael, California. The company was founded in June 2004 by Kevin Bruner, Dan Connors and Troy Molander, initially employing video game designers formerly of LucasArts. Telltale's business model revolves around episodic gaming and digital distribution, and the company is best known for its various graphic adventure game series based on licensed properties.

Many of the games that have been developed by Telltale Games are released episodically. Several episodes, released together in a season, are released periodically through a certain timeframe, often concluding around half a year or so after the initial release. The company uses a proprietary game engine, the Telltale Tool, developed in-house since the company's foundation.

Most of Telltale's products are adventure games based on licensed properties from film, comics, television, and other video games. Their initial games followed more traditional adventure game approaches with the player solving puzzles to progress. Their critical breakout title, The Walking Dead, based on the comic book series of the same name, introduced a more narrative-directed approach, giving the player the ability to make choices that may affect how future events in the game or its sequels play out, effectively allowing players to craft their own personalized take on the offered story; all of Telltale's games since have featured this player choice-driven approach.
