Ready to dive back into the world of Life is Strange? Well, hold onto your polaroids because Double Exposure brings Max Caulfield back with a bang – and a twist. The stakes are higher, the timelines are crazier, and yeah, there’s a murder to solve. But let’s rewind (pun intended) and break down what we know so far.
Max is Back (and Better Than Ever)
If you loved Max’s time-bending powers in the original Life is Strange, you’ll be hyped to know she’s returning as the main character in Double Exposure. Max, now a photographer-in-residence at Caledon University, is trying to live a somewhat normal life – or at least as normal as life gets when you’ve messed with time before. But things take a dark turn when she finds her friend Safi murdered in the snow.
Parallel Timelines and New Powers
Max’s return to the spotlight comes with an unexpected twist. Attempting to use her familiar Rewind power to save Safi, Max accidentally taps into something even stronger. She can now shift between two parallel timelines. In one world, Safi is dead in the snow. In the other, she’s alive but very much in danger. In Life is Strange: Double Exposure, we’re set to navigate both timelines to uncover the truth behind our friend’s murder and to save her.
Returning Characters and New Faces
In Double Exposure, Max isn’t alone. While Chloe fans may be wondering if she’ll show up, don’t expect Double Exposure to ignore the choices players made in the original Life is Strange. Your decisions from the past matter. But it’s Safi who takes centre stage this time. New to the series, Safi is a close friend of Max and the catalyst for this gripping, parallel-universe murder mystery.
On top of the new faces, fans can also expect some returning characters. What we do know is Max’s personal journey will be full of emotional twists, and you’ll need all the help you can get to prevent Safi’s death and solve her murder.
Race Against Time – Literally
Max’s powers have always been cool, but Double Exposure kicks it up a notch. Shifting between timelines isn’t just a fun mechanic; it’s a matter of life and death. Every action, every clue uncovered, and every decision you make could save or doom Safi and others. With two timelines to navigate this time, you’ll need to master Max’s time-bending abilities like never before to stay ahead of the killer and uncover the truth hidden in the snow.
