I can\u2019t wait to share Max and Chloe\u2019s story with fellow players and new audiences alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The game follows Max, a photography student, who discovers she can rewind time while saving the life of her childhood best friend, Chloe. As she struggles to understand this new skill, the pair investigate the mysterious disappearance of a fellow student. This results in uncovering a dark side to their town that will ultimately force them to make an impossible life or death choice that will impact them forever.\u00a0Our own Dan Casey likes to refer to <em>Life Is Strange<\/em> as \u201cTeen Peaks,\u201d owing to the deep-ceded, semi-supernatural mysteries in a Pacific Northwest town.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Life Is Strange<\/em> franchise began in 2015 as a five-episode adventure game. This then spawned a prequel, various spinoffs, DLC, and four mainline entries. The most recent of these, <em>Life Is Strange: Double Exposure<\/em>, dropped only last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">No word yet on timing for this, so we can assume at least a couple years. But when that happens, we will let you know everything. It\u2019s what we do after all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Kyle Anderson is the Senior Editor for Nerdist.
