Fidelity
Telltale's 2014 episodic series is based on the television show. Wikipedia also says it includes settings and characters from the novels. You play members of House Forrester during the War of the Five Kings. Several show actors reprise their roles.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read the books, or at least stay ahead of the show, if those characters' mid-war positions should not be news. This game assumes that war.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first if you already know the show's version of the war and want a side house. It will not replace the novels, and it will not protect them.
03
Why
The license is the series. The books are in the room anyway, because the show and the books share a war for a long time, and then they do not. This story sits in the shared part.
