The Telltale Tool is a video game engine.

The scripting language that is utilized by the Telltale Tool is Lua.

Usage

It was used by Telltale in their video games from 2005 to 2019. It was also used by Straandlooper in Hector: Badge of Carnage, which was co-developed and published by Telltale.

After Telltale's majority studio closure in 2019, Skybound Games acquired the rights to The Walking Dead games developed by Telltale. They hired some of the Telltale staff to complete The Walking Dead: The Final Season from the Telltale offices. Skybound then released remastered versions of all of the Telltale games using the latest version of the Telltale Tool.

After Telltale's assignment process from 2018 to to 2019, LCG Entertainment acquired the rights to the Telltale name and its archives. Skunkape Games obtained the rights to Telltale's Sam & Max games. LCG Entertainment sent the source code of the Sam & Max games, as well as that of the latest version of the Telltale Tool. Skunkape adapted the Sam & Max games to that version of the Telltale Tool, and updated the assets as remastered versions.
