>docs.google.com/document/d/1CwQo4Y0XnNSo36TE62Ojx0ofROJMg_-0SxVmzCzKn-I/edit

is this the full script of BtS, user?

Give me cute stuff /lisg/

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

After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it
>So, once again we got the fact that our ending always will be BAE>Bay

...

Before BtS Episode 3's release:
>Devs: ''Intense episode is waiting for us.Be ready for it;);) There is a reason why we chose Tempest as major theme and you will find out;)''
>Don't worry, Deck9 won't disappoint us. They are better than Dontnod
>I love you Zak. Thank god, finally a developer who understands us!! What did we do to deserve him guyssss
>CLOUD 9!!! TELL ME WHATCHU REALLY LIKE... BE READY FOR MULTIPLE KISSESSS!! CLOUD 9 WOHOOOO

>We will see how Damon got killed
>We will get our revenge from Skeevy guys too
>We will see Skip's concert too. Rachel and Chloe will go there yeeeyy
>All plot holes Dontnod left will all be answered.
>Beanie Queen Steph will get hug and also we will have advice scene ;);)
>They will not touch 3 years. They will keep their promises:) Unlimited happy endings are coming. 6 variations depending our choices with RACHEL HYPE CLOUD9

After BtS Episode 3's release:
>Deck9's worse than Dontnod
>Devs were bullshitting all along: Tempest? They forgot it. Poor Shakespeare is rolling in his grave right now
>Zak went full retard
>Nothing was cut:)
>Girls went full nun-mode and was giving each other cheek kiss and 0.1 sec cuddle scene in bed -even with cloud 9 intimacy
>Choices didn't matter
>Pedo Frank
>Frank pushes Damon out of screen. God knows how is he fucking dead
>Rachel spent almost the whole episode in that hospital bed
>Chloe was unconscious at the very intense moment
>Sera magically untied herself
>End choice didn't solve anything
>William went full Fast and Furious flashbacks.
>Even if Sera and Rachel reunite, Sera gtfos that town in one way or another
>They added credits scene out of nowhere - Rachel's ded - Chloe's still suffering. Technically, they were bullshitting about not touching 3 years either

directors notes

...

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"

Cutest girl in Arcadia Bay

this shit is interesting man. how did you find this?

** Hospital - Rachel's Room (ending) **
Shot of the star projector Chloe built earlier.
Chloe reaches out and takes Rachel's hand.
We go MOS and focus on Rachel's face as Chloe begins talking. Her face tells the story, going from confusion, to shock, to horror. Finally, she pulls her hand away and shakes her head.
"No," she says, almost a whisper. Then with growing intensity, "No, no, NO!" the last one a hysterical scream.
James and Rose run in, James asking "What's wrong?" as he comes to Rachel's side. He puts a hand on her shoulder, tyring to calm her. She pushes it off and pulls all the way back in her bed, shaking and crying.
James steps back, stunned. He looks from Rachel to Chloe, "What did you do?" Rose remains off to the side, waiting for an explanation.
Chloe wraps her arms around Rachel. Rachel takes them and pulls them tighter around herself.
Hugging Rachel, Chloe looks up at James, a sad look on her face. Heartbreakingly sad.
Close on James' face as the realization begins to dawn.
Note for animation.
Rachel needs to stare directly at the camera here. The entire shot. - Webb request
Facial animation note.
Rachel should be angry and filled with rage as she tell's james to get away from her. - Webb request

Webb does good work.

assuming one choice is wrong and the other right; which option is the right one?
I think not telling her was a mistake

Merry Christmas /lisg/

>It takes a second, then Rachel's face breaks into a tear-strewn smile. She puts her head on Chloe's shoulder. They turn their eyes to the window, silently taking in the stunning vista of stars against the inky black sky.

Why was this cut again ;_;

Needed to make room for some good old fashioned tragedy-porn

>Chloe stares in stupefied awe. Rachel stares, too, and then screams again.
>The wind ROARS with her scream, pulling flaming leaves from the tree to rush toward the overlook mountain, where the girls were before. Fire spreads unnaturally fast, climbing the mountain, worming through the trees and underbrush. The night is nearly as bright as day.


So.. was it supernatural, anons?

...

It's pretty obvious she had some powers, how was she able to have relationships with Chloe, Frank, Jefferson, and rub shoulders with the entire Vortex Club, and maintain a 4.0 gpa, whilst still being loved by everyone (cept Icky Vicky)?

Rachel twirls, showing off her costume. Chloe's head is exploding. We FLASHBACK to a very brief glimpse of Rachel from last night, twirling on the dance floor at the punk club. Chloe snaps out of it.
Rachel half-turns and winks at Chloe.
Before Mr. Safire can answer, Rachel jumps in:
She turns to Chloe.
Rachel and Chloe walk into Drama Lab
Rachel walks back to Chloe, ushers her into the group
Chloe's staring at Rachel while she says this. Rachel gives the tiniest of smiles in recognition. Chloe totally loses her shit, realizing she just said that out loud, and immediately changes her tune.

That's fucking great

I noticed this a bit later on:
>Rachel takes the belt from Chloe, then turns, showing off the tattoo on her back. (catching Rachel in the mirror)

She doesn't have a tattoo on her back ,right?

That still wouldn't have made any more sense than Bay, the storm comes either because Chloe is still alive and/or Max still has her powers, the storm would still come in that timeline

please return these qts to their designated girlfriends.

As someone studying computer animation, how can it look so stillted? they didn't have much the work on, holy fuck

>Rachel has a tramp stamp that we only would have ever seen if the "hot" scene happened
Ummmm

LEAKER user DISAPPEARED AND STILL HASN'T POSTED ANY CUT CONTENT OR PROOF WHERE ARE YOU LEAKER user I TRUSTED YOU

nothing was cut :)

>Chloe has to look away. She's embarrassed and turned on.

Chloe lives in Cripple AU and the storm is still coming if the dead whales mean anything
And storm still comes after Chloe is shot in the head by Jefferson
Nothing new

>Rachel has to look away. She's embarrassed and turned on.

Reminder to tell Rachel three truths instead of two

Hope you had a good Christmas /lisg/

At the edge of the junkyard, Chloe meets the tracks, where a raven flies north toward the overlook

F O R E S H A D O W I N G

Hope you did too!

...

...

Merry Christmas /lisg/

It doesn't matter, she dies either way. Not telling her the truth is the only option that lets her live a blissfully ignorant life for whatever remaining time she has left

Molli!

Fuck I’m crying ;_;

chloe commits suicide?

>Setting
New England, early 90's, Massachusetts probably.
>Characters
Two lesbians, maybe a trans character?
>Powers(?)
Either telekinesis or mild mind reading. Like knowing if someone that you're asking questions to is lying, so you can stear the investigation.
>General Plot
Something to do with Witches having been killed there in the past. Maybe a curse. Or killings more recently, still connected to witchcraft.
>Soundtrack
Some new indie band will do the score.

>Setting
Duluth, Minnesota, 80s-2000s
>Characters
Two girls, straight/bi/lesbian (personalities can change drastically over the course of the game)
>Powers(?)
Preemption/Future Visions (but you can only see small glimpses at a time, and you don't know how far into the future it is)
>General Plot
5-6 short-ish episodes starting from when the girls are children to their mid-20s, each episode represents a turning point for you or the other girl's life, either you see their death, a horrible accident, bad lifestyle choices etc etc, and you make decisions to try and stop or change the course of your lives. What you choose can cause other things to happen that you can't foresee, and your decisions at an early age can have drastic effects for your relationship at an older age

The reason why the episodes are shorter: When you end the game, your character immediately starts back at the 1st episode with all their memories: it's all a timeloop. You can use this info to open up even more options for changing the outcome of your lives. Play it over and over enough and you can get your "perfect" ending, the caveat being your character will have to do it all over again once the timeloop resets (or until you just stop playing the game)

Fuck, I know this is old and I usually hate or can't take fanart like this seriously but this will never make me not tear up after playing Before the Storm, especially since we know she has visions of William since he died.

No she looks hopeful for the future

Rachel runs to Chloe and grips both her hands, pulling her away from the lamp post and into the middle of the pooled circle of light.
A slow beat of eye contact, where Rachel's expression transforms from exasperated to luminous. Rachel's eyes are intense, dancing, and full of Chloe.

>Chloe smiles and brushes some ash from Rachel's hair.
>(sublimely happy)

Sublimely happy.

>Rachel tosses the ash out of her palms and runs back to Chloe.
>(excited)
>(gently flirty)

gently flirty

What happens in the LiS verse where Max sends back a teenage terminator to protect Rachel


"Watching Rachel with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator, would never stop. It would never leave her, and it would never hurt her, never shout at her, or get drunk and hit her, or say it was too busy to spend time with her. It would always be there. And it would die, to protect him. Of all the would-be protectors who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice."

Why not just go back and not leave Chloe? That's the root of the issue

Do you think William would have been supportive about the relationship between Chloe and Max?

I mean, imagine william going upstairs to call them for breakfast and then witnesses this, how would he react?

Yes because he cares about both of them and if that makes them happy then he is happy

Because seeing Jeffershit his pants as a bulletproof stone cold highschooler cyborg literally punch his way into the darkroom would be epic

>gently
It turned out pretty aggressive.

Wouldn't it be better seeing a 13 yr old Max time jump around him before stabbing through his stomach with a pirate's cutlass?

I guarantee you that there was no happier girl on earth that Christmas morning than Chloe, getting to wake up next to Rachel.

A terminator is less incompetent than max and the inability to kill it will put Jefferson in a position of powerlessness. Fitting Karma

elliot rodger was a mistake

terminators all die
max never did
checkmate

>Tfw never had a relationship
>tfw these games have no effect on and I literally laugh at the tragedy

Guess being a loser has benefits

that's called sociopathy sweetheart

Well how do you expect me to empathise with love if I don't know what it is

I Literally can't relate to attachment. I don't understand the feeling of wanting to never lose someone.

...

...that's called sociopathy sweetheart

>I don't understand the feeling of wanting to never lose someone.
Don't worry, half of this thread feels the same way or they wouldn't completely dismiss the idea that Chloe may never truly move on from Rachel.

This

Sounds like sociopathy is advantageous

If Chloe was a sociopath she wouldent cry as much

Sounds like emotions are bad

Sublimely happy.

Wouldent Maxes and Chloe's lives be better if their memory of each other and Chloe's memory of Rachel was erased

That way it's not some huge heartbreak it's just some random missing girl.

Wouldent that be great if they developed tech that would allow grieving people to delete memories of loved ones or passed on lovers, allowing instant moving on and repair of a broken heart

I'd take that option. Wouldent you?

I used to feel that way. I know it sounds like you're not missing much, but being dulled to the world like that is like being blind, you have no idea what you're missing out on.

If you're in a place where accessing healthcare isn't a monstrosity, consider talking to a doctor. I got put on SSRIs for a couple months and they were just enough to kick that inert part of my brain into being able to feel things again. Best decision I ever made.

No, but that happened in Eternal Return and they still found each other and fell in love
