About

Explore a narrative adventure where you play as sixteen-year-old Chloe Price three years before the first game's release. You form friendships while confronting personal family secrets, and dialogue choices determine multiple possible story endings. The backtalk mechanic lets Chloe provoke others during conversations easily, while outfit customization influences how people react socially. Witty tags and drawings allow players to mark the world, accompanied by an original soundtrack featuring distinct indie music throughout gameplay. Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a single-player action title with a main story length of 10 hours. Including extras, playtime reaches 12 hours, and a completionist run takes about 13 hours. The game runs on Steam Deck with a Playable rating. Deck Nine and Feral Interactive developed and published the game, with Square Enix also publishing.Read more

A streamlined peep at the events which build up to Life is Strange. Emotionally satisfying, but sometimes clunky.
