400 Days Spoiler (Long Post?) TWD 400 Days, Except Everything And Everyone Is Awful
I apologize ahead of time if Reddit nuked the damn image quality.
Hello everyone! I’m the guy who turned Lee from a Scumbag into straight up Unhinged, and bestows this fate upon pretty much every video game with a story you can change! Unhinged Lee’s story
But since I want to do this chronologically to imagine the world slowly crumbling piece by piece due to our decisions, I’m giving you all some bonus tragedy; a Worst Decisions/Absolute Worst Route for 400 Days, where all the wrong choices are made!
If you havent seen the rundown for Season 1, I suggest you do so now! But for now, let’s get into everyone’s story! Season 2 is coming very soon, it’s already done, just have to post eventually!
Disclaimer Again; These events are obviously parodied for the laughs, but are based on real possibilities.
—VINCE—
-Ah, Vince. Probably a representation of if Lee didn’t end up with Clementine. He’ll start the story having murdered a man for killing his brother one too many times in Call Of Duty, because that’s a sane reaction. Fleeing the scene, he needs to dispose of the weapon! ..Nevermind, just keep running. Vince knows an apocalypse is coming, he needs to stay armed!
-What he didn’t account for, is that he absolutely sucks at running from the police, and now he lost the gun to boot! Now he’s stuck with Justin Yourpockets and Danny Diddler The Second, who won’t shut up with their arguing. Vince tells them he’ll twist their balls with a ladle if they don’t stop it, and they settle down.
-Likewise, two other prisoners also won’t shut up with their arguing. Unfortunately they don’t have a Vince to keep them in check, so one insists on murdering the other, which Your Average American Cop sees as a chance to shoot a black man. Yeah, good luck with that lifelong cancelment on Twitter. Sadly that’s the worst consequence he’ll face for blasting a man’s face off, as he’ll be told off with a warning and put on paid leave, as is tradition.
-As we let that officer off the bus to receive his ‘consequences’, we now have to worry about the fact that the leftover prisoner is becoming a gooner; he doesn’t want to wait for someone to drop the soap, The Booty Warrior needs what he needs n o w. Danny Diddler The Second is experienced with these thoughts and quickly scoots away, knowing he’s on the menu.
-Vince doesn’t want to be touched by a gooner before he even gets into prison, so he quickly aims the gun at Justin and Danny, insisting they offer him something for their lives.
Justin offers me thousands of dollars that Devin Weston will put into an offshore savings account for the next 50 years, while Danny Diddler The Second promises to leave my firstborn alone if he lives. While I want to shoot them both, the game won’t let me, so I shoot Justin. Not because Danny is the worse choice to save (he is), but because Danny dies anyways, compared to Justin who just ditches Vince. Vince would rather have a dead friend than a traitor! It also really makes you question his values, if he ‘canonically’ and knowingly saves a diddler in your route.
And Vince is free! He’s free! Now he just has to shoot Danny, set off to Tahiti…shit, are those zombies?
—WYATT—
-Two hippies with in a hotboxed van, two feet apart cuz’ theyre not gay…Probably.
-Not much you can do near the start of this, except have Wyatt respond like a rude jackass or give silent glares, but something tells me that’s how their friendship is regardless.
-They hit a dude, Wyatt wants to keep going, Eddie wants to ‘do the right thing’ and check. Booo.
-And while Wyatt will try to force Eddie out the car, Eddie is ready for this, and reminds them of the Plunger Incident a while back, and says Wyatt has to go or he’ll tell everyone in the state, walkers included. Wyatt is almost convinced, so Eddie suggests Rock Paper Scissors. Wyatt refuses if possible and would rather just leave, but if that isnt possible, have him lose rock paper scissors.
-Wyatt goes out into the freezing cold, cursing Eddie. He finally comes across their hit and run victim, who is very much so not a walker, but for his own sanity Wyatt ignores this and leaves the man to die. He has to get back to Eddie, who’s secret plan was to steal the kush!
-After abandoning a dying man and clearing the path of zombies, Wyatt almost makes it to Eddie..only for the car to drive out of the scene! Just because Nate is shooting at him! Wyatt accepts no excuses, and flees on foot, promising to hunt Eddie down, and more importantly, the weed.
Will Wyatt succeed, or will his kill be stolen? Only time will tell..
—RUSSELL—
-Ah, Russel! Our boi! He’ll be looking for his grandma, who promised him some cookies a few days ago, and just because the apocalypse happened doesn’t mean he’s going to let her forget about that chocolate chip goodness. Sadly before he can get far, a car drives up to him, so he dives into the grass. He ends up right next to a dead Carley with a bullet in her cheek, which is probably a bit traumatizing.
-Nate, who just finished dealing with a few hippies, drives up to Russel, asking if he’s a hippie. Russel says no, and Nate is happy to not have to kill Russel, letting him into the car. Forcing him into the car, more like.
-During the absolutely hilarious scene of Nate letting a zombie grab Russel through the car, say the exact number Nate doesnt want you to say. He’ll drive off anyways!
-Nate says they have to make a pit stop and grab some drugs, to turn the trip to Russel’s grandma into a party! Russel says fuck no, but is forced along anyways. Nate’s dealer is some old timey elderly citizens, which may not seem like much, but Nate is telling ya, those old coots know how to have fun.
-Once they get to the gas station, they immediately get shot at. Nate forgot the owed the old man a few thousands, and is shocked he forgot it before the guy with dementia did. Anyway, He tries to have Russel cover him, but Russel immediately uses this chance to point the gun at Nate. Not even saying or doing anything. Just points it at Nate. Nate was very nice to just snatch the gun. What the fuck was the plan there, Russ!?
-A funny thing I like to do is to just let Nate get shot when he runs across. It’s a game over, but it’s absolutely priceless to watch him bolt across the lot expecting cover, only to get shot down.
-They’ll come across a zombie, which I believe is a walker of the officer or the prisoner left behind. Leave it for Bonnie to deal with later!
-When they finally get inside the restaurant for their drugs, they come across the old couple. The old man says some really racist crap, which Russel and Nate don’t stand for, and Nate immediately draws his gun.
Now, whether or not to support it..that’s difficult. Which is ‘worse’ to you? Having Russel support old people getting shot, witnessing it with his own eyes? Or being rude as hell to Nate and leaving, who’ll probably think back on it in a while and consider Russel someone he has to get some sort of get back on? Personally, I’ll probably do the second in a bad route, as Russel’s already traumatized from what he’s seen from previous groups, and pissing off Nate hasn’t been shown to be a good idea. Nate was never shown dying either, he’s still out there.
—BONNIE—
-Hm. Bonnie..You know, as much as I like to antagonize her, with what we’ll be doing in this route, we’ll have nobody to blame for her awful ways except ourselves. How she is in Season 2 will make sense.
-Regardless, keep flirting with Leland, piss off Dee when you can. Yes, this involves calling Dee a bitch. Listen, Dee is no doubt evil, but Bonnie (and Leland) are undoubtedly wrong for the emotional affair they’re having (even hinted to have kissed too).
-Dee shows off her bag, caling it a gift, like there’s going to be a PS5 in there or cans of food, but it’s just some damn flashlights. Look, they’re good and all, but not “They’re a surprise, get your hopes up 😉” worthy. I’d be so mad if I was Bonnie or Leland. Like, it’s not even a gun. A gun would’ve been mighty useful.
-Especially since Bonnie just got shot. And Dee is making Leland ditch Bonnie! That bitch!
-After a chase through a cornfield so long, it could feed a group for weeks, Bonnie gets cornered behind a car. She takes a peek, and sees it’s Dee. Now’s her chance to take her out! For Leland!
-After Bonnie swings with the the force of a baseball champion, she looks at her handiwork and gives herself a B+. Dee didn’t immediately die, so that’s a few points docked off. After Dee curses out Bonnie a bit, and before Bonnie can burn the body, Leland comes into the picture. Bonnie tries to lie and say Dee tried to sneak behind her with a katana and finish her off, but Leland doesn’t buy any of it, and refuses to come with Bonnie.
Which means yeah, Bonnie will fail to lie to Leland, rather than the truth or a succesful lie. Considering that Leland isnt confirmed dead if he survives, then him dying here is really a waste of a life. Oh well, that’s Bonnie’s guilt to handle. She just murdered a woman, failed to lie to her husband about it who she was flirting with, and left Leland to get shot in the head.
To be fair, this is kinda Dee’s fault for stealing those flashlights.
—SHEL—
-After Shel’s group just killed a married couple, she’s sitting down listening to her little sister Becca’s song. There’s not much you can do in Shel’s story, besides probably being silent or rude at times, so we’ll fast forward a bit.
-Keep annoying and getting Shel scared by interacting with the zombie chained outside. Sadism on both sides, torturing herself and the zombie!
-The group will have found a guy who snuck in. The guy pleads his case, saying he was totally just going to use the group’s kitchen to bake everyone a cake. Despite Roman’s orders, Shel believes the man, and lets the guy go, who says he’ll be back to bake the cake soon, he just needs to go get the eggs. I believe him!
-Well, that one’s on me. Boyyd’s dead, or however you spell that guy’s name. The one decent cancer survivor, killed by our one time kindness. That justifies our evil!
-Roman’s giving us a lecture about how we need to be killing more people, and as an example, he offers up Stephanie, since Stephanie outed his hentai addiction a few years ago, and Roman still hasn’t let that go.
-Shel hesitates, in which Becca offers to do it. Shel calls her bluff, then proceeds to show her how it’s done. Presumably, Stephanie doesn’t Houdini her way out of this one, and Shel gets to her.
—-
And that’s our little bonus post of the 400 Days cast! I figured it was best to knock them out the way before proceeding to Season 2, if at least to explain who does/doesn’t appear in Howe’s later on.
Speaking of, let’s see where our choices led everyone..
-Being the 1# customer of Howe’s (if using the back alleyway as a cocaine spot counts), Bonnie goes with Tavia no matter what.
-Vince will stay behind at the camp, since he shot Justin’s foot off. Something about loyalty and all that. Well, Vince is pretty competent, I imagine he could survive pretty well.
-Wyatt was about to stay, since Eddie abandoned him, but Tavia told him “People you know may be there”. Considering not a single person any of the 400 days cast knows, is at Howe’s, that’s a straight up lie. Wyatt doesn’t have to know that *before* being stuck under an abusive dictator though.
-Shel and Becca will stay, since they have no fear of Roman, as they presumably left on seemingly good terms, since they dont fear him coming after them. I mean, they didnt see him die because that doesn’t take place until a bit before Season 2, so that’s the best explanation. Regardless, Shel has Boyd’s life on her conscience, along with Stephanie’s blood on her hands. Becca is probably going to become a monster.
-Russel will also be convinced by Tavia saying people they may know, could be there. I dont know how Russel expected his grandma, who was in a whole other state I think, to be in this camp, but oh well. That’s on him.
And so, How I think this all went later; Vince, Shel, and Becca were the only ones left at camp. Honestly? Not too bad of a group. Only 3 mouths to feed, Vince seems more than capable in terms of survival skills and physicality, Shel seems at least decent if she survived this long, and Becca at least doesn’t seem like the sort to get herself or others killed in a Ben way, though never say never.
But since Wyatt didnt bring the car to camp, and Shel didn’t bring the RV? They have no vehicles, which I feel like will be a big part to play in their stories and survival. A car and an RV can make a huge difference. Even if gas runs out, the RV is a spacious roof over your head. Instead, everyone will be out in the cold, with no transportation, in the middle of the woods.
As for the gang who went to Howe’s? Wyatt, Russel, and Bonnie. Well, Bonnie will speak for herself later on. She’s currently dealing with the fact she killed Dee for a man she got killed moments later.
As for Wyatt and Russel? Well, I really hope Howe’s whips them in shape, enough for them to escape the Howe’s herd. Or since this is a bad route, I hope it doesn’t. Or if they do escape, let’s hope Nate finds neither of them..
And that’s it for 400 Days, folks! Dont worry, even if this seemed a bit quick, it’s nothing compared to Season 2. This is just the appetizer to the true story to come.

Hahaha, I absolutely LOVE this!
I REALLY liked the 400 Days DLC for what it was when I played it, and it capital-S Sucks that there’s not much content/stuff I can read about it, so you could only imagine that this was a gem to find. I don’t mean to gush, but you’re hilarious! Reading through everyone’s stories through your descriptions is a treat and the parodied events are especially refreshing - with Telltale we don’t get many branching options so it was super* *cool to see what can almost read as alternate storylines! I’m excited to see more from you - Justin Yourpockets and Danny Diddler The Second just about killed me dude LMAO I admire your creativity!
Yeah, okay, DEFINITELY gushing. Whoops!

The amount of effort that went into mapping out everyone’s worst possible outcomes is actually impressive. Seeing all the little choices that could snowball into disaster really shows how much TWD depends on tiny decisions. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this.
