Life Is Strange

[EndlessElements]

i didn't see a thread for this game (and yes i did search) so i thought i'd make one myself.

for anyone not willing to watch the videos:

"Life Is Strange is an episodic interactive drama graphic adventure video game developed by Dontnod Entertainment, and published by Square Enix. The game's plot focuses on Maxine Caulfield, a photography student who discovers that she has the ability to rewind time at any moment, leading her every choice to enact the butterfly effect. The game will consist of five episodes, with seven weeks between each episode. Life Is Strange is available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 via digital distribution.

In the game, story and character arc serve as the central point rather than traditional graphic adventure tropes like point-and-click puzzles. The player's actions will be able to adjust the narrative as it unfolds, and reshape it once allowed to travel back in time. Themes of memory and identity are used to convey a sense of nostalgia in the realm of adolescence, while the allegory of inner struggle comes from the mystical aspects featured."​

so, anyone enjoying this game as much as i am? sucks that you have to wait seven weeks for a new episode, though, because imo, it's a very fantastic game.

I played the first episode and it's great but I've decided to wait until all 5 (?) episodes are released.

better stay off of tumblr if you're doing that, then; there's far too many spoilers. >_<


i dislike how there isn't an option to buy the episodes individually on Steam.

I might get it soon, I love me some adventure games. People are also largely positive about this game, that gives me hope.

Ooh a LIS thread awesome I've played both of the episodes that are out - I really really like it so far, my only complaint is some of the corny dialogue in the first ep
basically chloe is hella gay and we've gotta protect kate marsh at all costs

I have the first episode somewhere around here but haven't started it yet, tragically D: I'm so excited for it though. I think I'm afraid to play it since I don't want it to end... and then have to wait for all the episodes to be released...

Always lovely to see devs doing new things with video games. Or maybe not necessarily new, but... different. Off the beaten path. You know what I mean.

Play it u silly goose! and become just as inpatient as I am hehe~

And yeah, I remember hearing about this game years ago, and just assumed it would never actually get released bc of some it's content - so glad it did!

I love this game! I've completed Episode 2 four days ago. My favourite characters so far are Warren Graham and Kate Marsh.
Warren is such a cute dork and I can't imagine what Kate is going through. >:

I don't play it but I've watched youtubers play it. I felt sooo bad for Kate <3

I bought the whole season for $15 on GMG a little while ago, and I do not regret it. It's not often that a game's story sucks me in, but I checked it out on a whim and omg. I'm hooked.

i dislike how there isn't an option to buy the episodes individually on Steam.

Cheaper this way, anyway. It's currently only $9.39 USD for the whole collection over on nuuvem.

Just need google translate, seeing as the site is based in Brazil, lol.

Disregard the scary $30 price listed, currency exchanges and all, Paypal will tell you your order amount based on your country's currency when you check out

 

[tobi!]

I'm going to buy this when it goes on sale. People keep telling me to.

 

[tamagotchi]

Do recommend! It's really nice, so far.

it depends if you're buying all episodes, or just purchasing them individually. if the latter, then an episode is 5 dollars, if together then 20 dollars.
