Slowly getting really excited for this. Between the demo and now the scenes showing here, I'm starting to really dig the new visuals, and the voice work in the playable part was fantastic.

More Max! 🏳️‍🌈

Mixed feelings about this. On one hand Deck Nine have, in my opinion, produced the best LiS content of the series. On the other hand, my opinion of them has soured somewhat since the whole nazi stuff came out: https://www.ign.com/articles/how-hidden-nazi-symbols-were-the-tip-of-a-toxic-iceberg-at-life-is-strange-developer-deck-nine

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I'm not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y'all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn't do as well as they hoped.

LiS2 wasn't my favorite. It started to feel like misery porn after a while, not to mention bordering on the absurd with the variety of situations they put the kids through. I think the story would have been stronger without the cult chapter. Expanding on the themes in the last chapter might have been a better choice and more consistent with the overall narrative. I will say, though, the endings are solid in the "choices matter" department. Best in the series with that, and a standout in gaming in that category.

I liked Before the Storm and True Colors, so I'm definitely looking forward to Deck Nine continuing the series with Double Exposure.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well
