'''''Poker Night at the Inventory''''' was a crossover poker game developed and published by [[Telltale|Telltale Games]] for [[macOS]] and [[Windows]] on May 18, 2010. It is the spiritual sequel to their first game, ''[[Telltale Texas Hold'em]]''.  
'''''Telltale Texas Hold'em''''', the first game by [[Telltale|Telltale Games]], was released for [[Windows]] on February 11, 2005. It was created as a demonstration of the Telltale Tool, which is Telltale's engine that runs all of their games. It was released to test their digital distribution system, which, at the time, was referred to as Telltale Now, and is now simply known as the Telltale Store.  


It was the second game in Telltale's Pilot Program, a program where quirky concepts are given one episode, and if media and fan response is high, more episodes were produced. The game was well-received and ''[[Poker Night 2]]'' was released in 2013.
It is a character-driven game of Texas Hold'em poker. You play in the third person at a poker table, and are simply known as "The Player". You play against four computer-controlled characters, each with their own unique personality.
