This is will be an interactive Spider-Man story inspired by Telltale's choice-driven games. Instead of following a fixed plot, the story is shaped by everyone reading it.

At the end of every chapter, you'll be given a choice. Vote by leaving a comment with the option you want to see. Feel free to explain your reasoning, debate with other readers, or come up with your own theories and predictions. Every comment supporting a choice counts as one vote.

Once voting closes, the most popular choice becomes canon, and the next chapter continues from there. As the story progresses, those choices will branch into new situations, relationships, and consequences, so today's decision could still matter many chapters later.

This is an original story, not an adaptation of an existing comic, movie, or game. Peter has already been Spider-Man for two years, placing us around the arcs explored in the early 1970s but with a modern setting. Familiar characters, villains, and locations will appear, but whether events stay close to established canon or go in a completely different direction is entirely up to the choices we make together.

With that out of the way... Enjoy Part 2! We'll have two weekly posts, the next one likely on Monday!

Please let your thoughts overall in the comments too!

Episode 2 is here!

Ben's Story is a long-term fan retelling that follows the events of all four games through the eyes of Ben. Rather than replacing the original story, it expands it, not making him a badass from night to day, but developing the whole journey to it while staying true to the emotional soul of the series.

We already completed Seasons 1, 2, and 3, we are now bridging the gap before Season 4 with an entirely original mini-season that expands the world and develops the characters before the next chapter

Only a day late, but here's yesterday's part!

We have a surprise ready for tomorrow! Any hope, idea or theory for the future of this story?

For those who's been here since the beginning, you already know what this is about. For anyone new who just stumbled in: welcome to the Telltale's The Walking Dead: Ben Retelling, a project that started as “what if Ben actually got the time and depth he deserved?” and quickly spiraled into a full on character driven serious rewrite of The Walking Dead’s Telltale universe.

The goal has never been to flip the story on its head just for shock value but to give it new life. More conversations, more consequences, more time with the characters that the original games sometimes had to rush past.

I've been transcribing the whole story so it's easier to read from the start, it'll be hosted and updated on AO3

https://archiveofourown.org/works/85142886?view_full_work=true

How voting works:
This adventure is highly interactive, in the final slide of each post there will be a choice screen, you'll comment the choice you think the story should follow and defend it. We don’t just go by the most upvoted comment in order to give everyone the same weight and not just the one who commented first

So we follow a point system:

Insightful, well-explained choices → +3 votes

Simple “I choose this” votes → +1 vote

Upvotes → +0.5 votes

The choice with the most votes on it, wins and the next part opens with it And yeah, even if you don’t write an essay, your input still matters. But if you do bring a good argument it can genuinely swing the story!

Posting schedule: We’re running on a steady rhythm of 3 weekly posts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
