Previous Thread: Life is Strange is an episodic interactive drama from DONTNOD Entertainment. Set in the Pacific Northwest in the town of Arcadia Bay, the player follows the story of Maxine Caulfield and her seemingly newfound ability to turn hella gay and rewind time. At the prestigious Blackwell Academy, Max must prepare with Chloe Price for the incoming storm of returning to her hometown after five years. Available on Steam, PSN and Xbox Live.
Before Episode 5's release: >Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true >Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story >We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals.. >Jefferson knows about Max's powers >Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us >Victoria's with Max,she'll save her >(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave. >Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream >Blue Jay's Chloe
>As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"

It recently came out with another chapter. But took a good long while... Author has some other neat oneshots too. Will add them to the compilation, sometime.
Thomas Phillips
I'm waiting for like five and I doubt they will ever be added to or finished. Go ahead and add whatever to the recs list.
For anyone new, there's a fic recommendation list in the OP. We try to give you a good idea of what it entails so you know what you're getting.

Maybe do that set in the winter. A comfy Christmas theme with plenty of snow and good looking winter clothes. Have the protag and their partner hang out at a ski lodge or something.
That could also be good.
I'm curious where they will put the game as much as who they put in it. But from the very limited stuff we know, there some something look at Chicago and possibly a character named Sarah. However that could very well be just over-analyzing.

What's Alice like now that she's mutated to be big?
Lincoln Morgan
Maybe she can control her size. She can either be bunny size, shrink down even more, or become large enough to be a mount for Kate.
Mason Wood
Telling you now; you CANNOT beat Max.
John Richardson
How? What happens if a suppressed sniper shoots her in the head?
Aaron Powell
Her power freezes time if she's about the be seriously injured or die. It allows her to rewind to a safer moment and know what's coming so she can avoid it. She can freeze time, rewind, and teleport to manipulate people or objects. But why would anyone want to harm Max anyway? Sicko.
Jaxon Harris
Oh what the fuck that's bullshit May as well be superman with all that anti-tension
Jaxson Martin
Someone with some form of cosmic influence favored her. Would have been heard to find a better person to give that power.
Thomas Williams
Now that's it's been established that you cannot win again Max, best to let her (and Chloe) live their lives without interference
Cooper Harris

Daily reminder that Victoria is tsundere for Max.
Oliver Perry
I guess the only victory is that she cannot beat all forms of harm
As in one of them will watch the other fade away on her death bed one day
Alexander Hernandez
Maybe if she was nicer she would have been able to become friends with Max earlier. I still think Max would do well to keep her girlfriend away from Victoria. Chloe and Vicky mix like oil and water.

There's a fic- that's poorly written grammatically -where the government captures Max and puts her on trial for the storm and tries to catch Rachel, who has the same powers. Kind of what that person was describing. But I don't think it's very fitting in the spirit of the game.
Nathan Martinez
My foot would make such a good plug to your ass
Daniel Robinson
At least he realised that this whole ''Chloe has to die'' thing is bullshit.
Brayden Brooks
Why don't you guys write/show your own fanfics if all of you find other people's so terrible.
Eli Martin
No, he's in the right place. All those points are known to /lisg/, so his efforts are better spent going out and evangelising the unwashed masses (plebbit and company).
Pic unrelated, I just like the idea of an AU where Rachel is alive and secretly humping Max's tree when no one is around.
Xavier Walker
Chloe may not be traditionally "female" but to call her a man is pretty insulting desu. They'd both call each other Wives after their Wedding. Speaking of which: >When would they get married? >Where? >Which one would propose?
I think they'd do it around their mid-20s, on the clifftop by the repaired lighthouse, and it would have been Chloe who proposed (Using her father and mother's old rings, since Joyce has one from David) after she asked Max's parents for permission. Which they gave her.
Luke Bennett
Definitely. Props to him for that realization. But as says, he's in the wrong place to try to be intelligent and point out the flaws in the writing. So unless he finds /lisg/ on his own he's stuck there. They won't care and will just downvote him once he disagrees or makes them realize how silly they are to have fallen for a cliche tragedy that doesn't make sense under the game's rules/explanation. Spiteful little bastards.
>Rachel is alive and secretly humping Max's tree Rachel wouldn't try to steal Lisa from Alice. Surely they're friends and it's just a joke, Rachel is fond of playing those.

>implying the clifftop lighthouse ever got repaired If you chose "bae" everyone died, and the town was left to rot in disrepair. Their bodies were gnawed away by the local wildlife, and their skeletal remains were left to grace the streets.
And that's all Max's fault, because she's not really a good person :)

Honestly, even with the Hospital Ending in the game, I'd still pick the Bae Ending. Yeah the storm will happen but so did everything else in the game. All the friendships made, things learned, people helped, etc. The Hospital Ending would just be undoing everything and I would not be able to know if things were alright after it.
kek. I usually don't watch too much football but that was a hella entertaining game. Falcons may as well changed their name to DONTOD with how good they started, and then how bad the bombed at the end.
Lincoln White
>I'd still pick the Bae Ending. Murderer detected.
Christian Ramirez
Storms are the fault of nobody.
Aiden Walker
This wasn't a normal storm.
Gabriel Thomas
It was. But even with the Hospital Ending there's the same dilemma that there is now: the story is inconsistent and it is impossible to prove the cause of the storm, and any link it has to Max's power. The only proof supporting that conclusion is the ending that shows it. It's not a part of the story if you see the storm happen and just conclude it was inevitable (As it had been in every timeline shown).
Jaxon Cox

Nathaniel Lopez
Bongo caused the storm. His ghost sometimes wanders Arcadia Bay and visits Chloe, but she can't see him except in dreams. He likes to curl up in Chloe's jacket when he gets cold since it's warm and smells like his mommy. But one day Bongo was following Chloe into some strange room, the only jacket he could find was Nathan's, which still smelled like Chloe a little bit since he assaulted her. Bongo was angry at that so he stole Nathan's jacket off the couch but that opened up some dimensional rift that resulted in the storm since ghosts aren't supposed to interact with the real world.
Bongo is sorry.
Asher Ramirez
Chloe would wake up and the first thing she sees is Max looking over her with the rays of sun coming from behind. In general, Max is usually the first thing Chloe sees when she wakes up, unless she got up earlier to go make breakfast.
Samuel Bennett
Murder is taking an action (not an inaction), knowing that it will lead to death. By that definition, one of the endings could be described as Murder. But it's not the bae ending.
David King
I wouldn't go that far. Both endings involve inaction, but only one of those is knowingly letting someone die. The storm is for all purposes a natural event (regardless of whatever may have caused it). People are not bound to be in its path and they have the time/ability to escape, just like in any other storm. Not all of them do, tragic, but this is how tornadoes work. Most of them do escape or survive though.
The Bae ending works on the presumption that the storm cannot be stopped (And that trying to see if it could be is simply too great of a risk). There is no need for action because it would endanger Max, Chloe, and possibly everyone and everything else should the results of a new timeline be even worse. The Bay ending is inaction, but on the scale that it's knowing someone will die. Someone is tied to that location and in the path of a bullet.
Kevin Kelly
You're right. The Bae ending is more of cosmic genocide on Max's behalf.
Matthew Edwards
The action is in choosing to go back in time and change things knowing what those actions will cause
Nathaniel Clark
But she doesn't know what it will do. There's so much evidence against the idea that can stop the storm and literally one piece of evidence for it. You're metagaming.
Christopher Jenkins
Genocide against who? Don't even post stuff like that in a trolling manner because it leads to genuinely retarded statements like "The tornado was worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki"
Bottom line is Max is a good person who used her power almost exclusively to help people. At the end of it all, the crime you're trying to hang her for is screaming "No!" when she saw someone getting shot. If she wasn't meant to save Chloe then she wouldn't have gotten any power or she would have completely forgotten the events she changed.

Watch her while she was becoming 'cereal' killer; while she was murdering whole town to get over a trauma which will never go away. Choose wisely.
