Episodes are developed by Telltale Games in collaboration with Aardman Animations to develop the story, characters, and setting.[3] Players control both Wallace and Gromit at times through the gameplay.[3] Ben Whitehead, Aardman's official backup voice actor, portrays Wallace, instead of Peter Sallis, who had voiced the character in all screen appearances up to that point.[4] A playable demo of the first episode was made available in March 2009, and can be downloaded from the official site as well as Yahoo Games. It is also included on the Region 2 DVD and Blu-ray releases of A Matter of Loaf and Death as DVD-ROM content. Telltale Games removed the game from sale in January 2014 due to the expiration of their distribution rights for the Wallace & Gromit intellectual property;[5][6] customers who previously purchased the game were still able to download the episodes from their game library.
The game was relisted in December 2020 on Steam, GOG.com, RobotCache and Green Man Gaming for Windows, along with Telltale's other titles Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People and Texas Hold'em.
