![]() ![]() In the previous episode she met the enigmatic Rachel Ambers, with the two forming a close bond after skipping school together. But at face value this continues the story of 16-year-old college student Chloe Price, who following the death of her father has become an authority figure-hating delinquent and is constantly on the verge of being thrown out. We’re going to try and avoid any spoilers in this review, which is difficult given that means we have to tiptoe round so many plot points. And that inescapable fate looms over the whole game, much like the forest fire that dominates the skyline during this episode. This prequel to the first game is only three episodes long and everyone who’s played the original will know what must happen in order to link the two. Or maybe not, depending on the choices you make while playing it. 31 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.Life Is Strange: Before The Storm is not a romantic comedy, in case you thought that’s what we were leading up to, but romantic tragedy might well be an apt description by the time it’s over. Life is Strange: Before the Storm will be released Aug. It seems Deck Nine Games took great care to make the setting and characters feel familiar and transport you back into the game. The demo feels very much like the original Life Is Strange, even a different studio developed the project. We won’t spoil how they meet up, but Chloe got into some trouble and Rachel basically saves the day. Eventually Chloe encounters Rachel Amber. ![]() I could’ve walked back to the trunk and grabbed it, but again, I’d rather deal with Frank than the idiot t-shirt seller. So next I talked to Frank, who reminds Chloe about the money she owes him for all the times he’s spotted her weed. ![]() Making Chloe a thief didn’t sit well with me. I know she’s an act first, think later kind of gal, but all she wanted was the shirt. I chose not to take the cash because it didn’t seem worth it, even for Chloe. Leaving in the trunk won’t prompt anything but taking it will have a consequence Chloe will have to deal with later on. You can take it or leave it in the trunk. When you look in the back of the trunk you see a wad of cash, which Chloe estimates is $200. You don’t have to take the t-shirt, but I did. The idiot selling the shirts is trying to figure out what to do about his car. I let the car roll because that’s what Chloe would do. You can choose to let go of the emergency brake and the car will roll forward. Chloe goes to pick one up when the man pushes her hand away and tells her it would be $20. However, the real fun starts when you start interacting with people.įor example, there was a man selling concert t-shirts out of the trunk of his car. You’ll find this out when you read a letter next to his body. For example, there was a drunk man passed out in a corner who was just laid off from his job. You can choose to observe the people in your surroundings and pick up on clues of what’s going on in Arcadia Bay. You can choose to draw an evil eye or “spin.” We won’t spoil what spin mess, but it’s pretty funny. There’s a saw blade on the wall of this abandoned barn where the concert take place. There will be prompts to tag certain items and you’ll have choices of what you’d like to put out in the world. Chloe’s version of Max’s photography is graffiti. In true Life is Strange fashion, you can walk around and interact with people and items in the area. Chloe has just talked her way into a “underground” concert and managed to piss people off along the way. I played a scene where Chloe meets Rachel Amber for the first time. I had a chance to play a demo at Square Enix’s meeting room at San Diego Comic Con 2017. Her choices cannot be undone and she won’t know what will happen next. Chloe is every bit as funny, reckless and broken in Life is Strange: Before the Storm. ![]()
