Life Is Strange hits. It hits hard. Be warned, there are some major spoilers in this post...
Max and Chloe were hanging out at the school pool after hours. They were soon interrupted by David Madsen, the school's security guard and Chloe's stepdad. I had to use my power to get away from the pool before being spotted by David. After we got out safely, Chloe invited Max to sleep over at her house.
When the young women woke up in the morning, they had a pretty great moment together, doing nothing but enjoy the warm sunlight and listening to acoustic music. Max had no clothes to wear, but Chloe had an old outfit that used to belong to Rachel. She put it on then went down to have breakfast with Joyce as Chloe lights up a joint. Joyce and Max had a good conversation, talking about Chloe and Rachel. I even got to eat eggs and bacon!
Soon enough, Chloe came down from her room and immediately started being snarky and bitchy with her mom... When Joyce went back to the kitchen, Max took advantage of the quiet time to sneak into the garage and find clues about Rachel's disappearance by searching David's things. His computer was password protected, so I searched for possible clues in the garage. I collected lots of date, like dates, license numbers, etc. Of course, this is a video game, so one of the clues had the correct password. Personally, I think people are really dumb about their passwords, but maybe that's because I only have random passwords...
Anyway, I discovered that David was definitely stalking and spying on people, including Max, Rachel, Kate, Chloe and Joyce. When I went back into the house, David came home and all hell broke loose. Him and Chloe started fighting right away, and at one point, I decided to jump in and reveal David's stalking habits to the family... This shocked Joyce, who kicked the man out of the house, telling him he should go to a hotel for a while. Also, there's a bunch of dead birds all over the city, so that's weird and ominous.
Later, Chloe and Max thought that Frank, the dangerous drug dealer with a vicious dog and a shitty trailer, might be a good lead for clues about Rachel, since the pair hung out together quite a bit. The girls went to Frank's mobile home and set out to break in. The dog was inside the trailer while Frank was having breakfast at the diner, and the trailer was locked.
Max went inside the diner to try and steal Frank's keys. I had conversations with Frank, a cop and Nathan Prescott inside the restaurant, all of which revealed lots of useful information. Eventually, Max was able to get Frank to take out his keys, taunting her with them. I then grabbed the keys from the table, reversed time for a few seconds and went back out to the mobile home.
Max and Chloe opened the door, distracted the dog with a large bone and explored the trailer together. This led them to discover that Frank and Rachel had been in a real, loving relationship... Chloe was so fucking pissed off. She blames everyone for her unhappiness, including Max, her loving mom and her dead father. It was a rough scene...
That's when shit got real fucking crazy. Back at Chloe's home, Max looked at a picture of herself and her friend from when they were 13 years old and somehow, her power kicked in and she was transported in time back at a special moment. It was when Chloe last saw her dad before he went out and died in a car accident.
Spontaneously, Max decided to use the situation to save Chloe's dad by hiding the keys to the car in the sink. She then convinced her father to take the bus instead of drive. She woke up in the school's yard, sitting with the Vortex club members. Even Victoria seemed to be friends with her! Max freaked out and wondered what else she had changed, so she went straight to Chloe's house... Chloe's dad is still alive, and he was happy to see Max. When he fetched Chloe, I was fucking shocked!
Chloe is paralyzed and bound to a wheelchair... That's when the episode ended. This game is something special. The story and characters are very well developed, and I can't wait to see how the story continues.
