It's fun, but a rather different type of game.

Classic Adventure games are a cross between a puzzle game and a story - often using inventory or area switches to get past..

Walking Dead instead used an illusion of choice as it's core mechanic. It focuses on story more, and it works well, but it's not identical.

That said, TellTale's Sam and Max games and Tales of Money island are highly reminiscent of such old school works, as is Machinarium and quite a few others.
