The story
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a new three-part, standalone adventure set three years before the first game in the BAFTA award-winning franchise. You play as sixteen-year-old Chloe Price who forms an unlikely friendship with Rachel Amber, a beautiful and popular girl destined for success. When Rachel learns a secret about her family that threatens to destroy her world, it is her newfound friendship with Chloe that gives her the strength to carry on. No longer alone the girls must confront each other's demons and together, find a way to overcome them.
What it’s like
Washed-out Oregon afternoons, sun bleaching a trailer park and a half-empty high school parking lot, with a hand-painted, painterly look that makes every frame feel like a faded photograph left on a dashboard. Long pauses between dialogue, a sparse piano and guitar score that drifts in and out, and the soft crackle of a cassette-era indie soundtrack playing from a bedroom radio. The mood is wistful and quietly restless, a bittersweet coming-of-age ache with stretches of simple exploration where you wander a town, skate, scribble in notebooks and sit with someone on a rooftop at dusk. Pacing is unhurried and conversational, built around choices that shape how two teenagers come to trust each other. Intensity is low to moderate: some profanity, drinking and drug references, emotional confrontations and the odd tense scene, but no gore, and violence is rare and brief. It suits a rainy weekend, a late-night solo session, or anyone who loves character-driven stories about fragile friendship and growing up. It is for players who want melancholy and warmth rather than action.
