In the opening sequence as the player is walking through the halls of the building, he sees a man carrying something into a door for a brief moment. The character is Doug from The Walking Dead Episode 1. The player has to save either him or a female reporter named Carley from zombies. Most people chose Carley over Doug, explaining why he gets the cameo. In the opening sequence when the player meets Brock Sampson from Venture Brothers, Bandit was thrown out of the room. Brock says it was a good game to see him next week. That character was a bandit in The Walking Dead: Episode 2, in which he shoots another bandit for stealing food than later gets shot by Lily in The Walking Dead: Episode 3 while Lee distracts him.
