Life Is Strange: Before the Storm
Life Is Strange was a runaway hit that showcased DONTNOD’s ability to convey a deep and meaningful story while mixing in plenty of supernatural in the form of time travel. The game’s main characters resonated with a lot of players, and the ending left many conflicted and full of numerous emotions. When new games in the universe were unveiled fans grew excited, even though we didn’t have a clear idea of when (and where) both titles would take place. Fast forward to Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference and one of those titles is revealed to be a prequel that goes deeper into the lives of Chloe and Rachel while also passing up on supernatural powers.
It sounds like it would be a step backward, as the powers made things quite interesting and made every future moment, and choice, far more mysterious. Yet, the removal of them lets the two girls sit firmly in the spotlight. This isn’t to say that there will be no supernatural and sci-fi influences at all. The developers have shared that they are part of the experience, just in a very different way.
