• EoFF's Life is Strange Video Walkthrough



    Hi everyone!

    I've recently played through DONTNOD and Square Enix's newly published interactive novel Life is Strange, and I thought I'd record it for the site!

    I decided to go for commentary-less, as it is a heavily cutscene driven game, and I didn't want to blabber over the top of it too much. Obviously, spoiler warnings ahead! I also went ahead and tried to look at everything, as I heard that there were some cool Easter Eggs. Which ones do you see?

    Hope you enjoy!



    Meet Max, a weird socially awkward kid with a passion for photography. Back in her childhood home of Arcadia Bay, she wakes from a nightmare to find that she suddenly has the ability to rewind time. What kind of crazy hijinks will she get up to?

    This is part one of Episode 1 - Chrysalis, covering the first 20 minutes or so this interactive story from DONTNOD and Square Enix.

      Max and Chloe are chilling back at Chloe's, after their night of adventure. Max learns more about the relationship between Rachel and Chloe, before heading downstairs to cause a little bit of a domestic dispute between Joyce and David. Max just can't keep her nose out of other people's business, huh?

      Not having had enough of ruining people's lives, Max and Chloe decide that it is time to sneak into Frank's trailer and snoop around to find out what he knows about Rachel's disappearance. It is here that you really get to see my incompetence with the time travel mechanics as I flit back and forth with little understanding of what I'm actually trying to do. It all ends badly for our leading ladies too, as Chloe finds out something she wished she hadn't.


      As an aside, Episode 4 is out soon! Maybe I'll actually just have a continuous stream of these pouring out of my internet soon!

      I didn't see part 5 pop up on YouTube. Maybe I failed miserably at uploading it. >.>; I will investigate when I get home.

      The real option is that I was too busy playing video games to notice, but let's not jump to conclusions.

      Wait, what? Why am I 13 year old Max? How did this happen?

      Watch as I again fumble my way through the puzzle, and fail miserably at the one thing I really wanted to do.

      You were not wrong.

      I'll be getting Episode 4 all sorted out hopefully for release this Sunday!

      Max's meddling has led to an horrible situation - if Chloe's Dad survives, Chloe ends up paralysed from the neck down. How awful!

      What else has changed in this world? How is Chloe's family coping? What choices will we have to make in this timeline? Is this existence better than the alternative?

      I knew where that was going as soon as morphine was mentioned.

      I honestly was taken off guard. I should have known, since it's such an obvious thing, but I was so engrossed. xD

      To be honest, this ending didn't surprise me and I'm kinda disappointed by it. I think having (SPOILER)Warren instead of Mr Jefferson be there at the end would be more interesting.

      Back in the preferred timeline where Chloe is not paralysed (or dead), both she and Max are moving to work out exactly what is going on in Arcadia Bay. They have a few things they need to do, but first on that list is snooping around at David's things and then going to check up on Kate in the hospital. I wonder how she's getting along after her near death experience?

      I don't really like the EVIL PRESCOTTS plot it's a bit boring. LIS has grown on me though!

      I do think it has been a really slow burn, which is unfortunate for an episodic game that requires you to really care right from the get go. I don't know if I would have stuck with it if I hadn't got it pretty cheap and if I hadn't decided to do these videos. xD

      Back on track this week!



      It's time to do some snooping around Nathan's place. I wonder what kind of cool college kid stuff he keeps around his room. Regardless, our intrepid detectives are determined to find something that will incriminate him. Heck, even Warren gets into the action and gets a few light jabs in at Nathan!

      Next stop, the friendly neighbourhood drug dealer to get the info he has. Super sleuths Max and Chloe are at it again.

      Enjoy twenty full minutes of random guessing at what are the right answers to stop him going postal at me.
