Animation hack in Telltale games is hilarious and terrifying

Telltale's games have gotten a little saucy, thanks to a fan-made hack that manipulates characters into moving outside of their usual range.

A video of the mod first appeared as part of Telltale's Fables-based episodic game, The Wolf Among Us. The clip features protagonist Bigby dancing without a care as his companions continue on with business as usual. Another gif, posted by Telltale director and senior cinematic artist Nick Herman on Twitter, features characters from The Walking Dead with similar intentions.

Someone figured out how to play animations in our shipped titles. The results are glorious. http://t.co/Civzwz35C3 pic.twitter.com/UBdbOaUHib

A Telltale representative told Kotaku that the modification was made using existing animation assets from Episode 2 of The Wolf Among Us.
