• 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.

      We have gathered all the information we need. It's time to piece together the clues and find out where Nathan's Dark Room is.

      Another twenty minutes of staring at the same thing while I work out what the heck is going on in Arcadia Bay. Another dry episode, but it's building to something good, I'm sure!

      We did it! We found our way to the old run down shed that Nathan apparently brings his victims to. But there's nothing here? Just some straw and old pictures.

      But there is something strange about this rickety shack... Just need to find out what.

      It's the End of World party! And Chloe is on a rampage. Understandable given the situation.

      At the party, everyone looks like they're having a great time though! That's nice. We do need to warn Victoria, she could be in danger... But things do not go well at all and the truth behind everything is revealed.





      Actually up to date here! Final episode out in October, I think!

      I didn't call it because I am bad at mysteries, I guess. xD

      I did a binge watch a while ago but haven't commented I'm watching the last two now!

      RUSTY ASS BUTTON. Gross Max.

      Oh damn. Well. We kind of knew all along they'd find Rachel like that.

      Warren demanding a photo HMMMMM I wonder if this will be important later.

      ahahahaaha Daniel in a m'lady fedora neckbeard shirt


      Call. The. smurfing. Police. YOU DUMB troutS. ARGHHHHHHHHH. Sure let's smurfing go to a junkyard in the middle of the night after being lured here by a sociopath murderer who knows that we know he's a murderer THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

      oh. welp. Well, yep, calling it, the Warren photo is the saving grace.

      That is an interesting idea, Warren's photo being the saving grace. I guess they had to show off that pointless time travel thing via photo for a reason!

      But the final episode is out today! All the mysteries will be resolved. Or will they...?

      I saw my friend Twitch stream the last episode tonight. I had been following his gameplay all the way through. He played both possible outcomes of the final decision which was a doozy. I am interested to hear what other people ultimately choose.

      I also am more sure by this episode that at least Chloe bisexual or a lesbian and had a relationship with Rachel at some point. I won't go in to detail why as it isn't blatantly obvious but there have been some things here and there that make it more apparent. I guess how the player plays it would also mean Max is in love with Chloe as more than a best friend or as a best friend. Warren is also as sweet as sugar.

      I have completed my recording today. This was a doozy indeed. I will get my vids up soon!

      I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and although in many places it was a bit "what are you doing game", but I would honestly recommend the whole thing to someone. Episodic gameplay did hurt it quite a lot, I felt, but now that it's all released... yeah.


      But soon. Watch this space.

      Chloe has been shot. Max had been taken to the Dark Room where Mr Jefferson is being hella creepy. Luckily there are lots of photos around. Maybe we'll be able to save the day using our time travel powers!

      Just gotta keep time-travelling until the result we need has come up.

      And here it is! Looks like everything has gone brilliantly, Jefferson is no longer able to ruin people's lives. What could possibly go wrong now?

      Well, that went significantly worse than I had imagined. Is there no way to have our cake and eat it too? At all? Max finds herself back in the Dark Room with Mr Jefferson. What now? Will we ever break Max out of this seemingly endless loop?

      Warren has the photo that will save us all. We can go back again and try to save everyone! Again. Man, this is happening quite a bit. But, we've got to get through the town that is falling to pieces. This better end in happiness.

      Max is going to smurfing kill herself with all the time line trout she's smurfing with.

      why must she mess with the natural order!



      This time for real! Except the storm is still around, and it is looking as if it's still going to destroy everything. This is bad. What's even worse is that Max passes out and gets trapped in some trippy timey-wimey world. What the heck is going on?

      Still in this freakin' weird trippy time world. Not much more to say. Revisiting key points in the game, and leading all up to a big decision that I really don't want to have to make.

      Here it is. The final section. The big decision. It was a difficult one, but I'm sure I did the right thing.
