Multiple Telltale games have been temporarily pulled from iOS
If you’ve been following TouchArcade for the last week or so you’re already aware that the recent drama all hinges around loads of classic, premium-priced, iOS games that have not only vanished from the App Store, but also the purchase histories of anyone who bought those games.
Many of these issues included crashing, freezing, and lack of sound, this coming from a team of Telltale’s support staff. Telltale is now searching for possible solutions and they have said that the removal of the games would only be temporary while a solution is found. Those who purchased the games and do not have them installed should still be able to download them from their purchase history. You may be asked to additionally allow access to the app, but this is a one-time step.
Tap the Download icon (Small Cloud with a downward pointing arrow).
Tweetbot 4 is a truly universal app, because there is a version made specifically for the bigger screen of the Apple iPad.
Click the More button (three small dots) in the upper-left side of the window.
If prompted, sign in with your Apple ID and password. The games mentioned have been pulled out from the App Store, and then have also disappeared from people’s Purchase Histories as well.
Select the “Not in My Library” tab to view purchased content that isn’t on your computer.
The App Store and weird drama go together like peas and carrots.
From the top of the window, click the Purchases tab. You can also add multiple accounts within the app, which makes it easy to switch between your personal and work accounts, for example. At the time of writing, both Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands were still available to purchase through the App Store.
Eurogamer reports that The Walking Dead, Back to the Future, The Wolf Among Us, Jurassic Park and Sam and Max have all vanished.

After Disney had removed most of the company’s mobile games, it seemed like Telltale Games would be doing the same thing.
