Life is Strange is a five part episodic game that sets out to revolutionise story based choice and consequence games by allowing the player to rewind time and affect the past, present and future.
You are Max, a photography senior who saves her old friend Chloe by discovering she can rewind time. The pair soon find themselves exposed to the darker side of Arcadia Bay as they uncover the disturbing truth behind the sudden disappearance of a fellow student.
Meanwhile, Max begins to have premonitions as she struggles to understand the implications of her power. She must quickly learn that changing the past can sometimes lead to a devastating future.
Has anybody played this game? I'm a little behind the hype but I played the first episode (Chrysalis) today and found it to be very charming albeit pretentious at times. I'm not sure I enjoy this new episodic style of gaming, even though episodic games have proven to be some of my recent favourites (The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead). The concept of time travel is something that is seldom explored in video games and it was refreshing to have a female protagonist rather than the generic young, white male. I would recommend this to anybody who doesn't mind paying attention to detail in games and likes the whole "your actions will have consequences" concept.
Episode 2 - Out of Time comes out on March 24th
