Life is Strange

Life is Strange is a game with a story about teenagers who accidentally gain superpowers, released in 2015 by the French company Dontnod Entertainment. The plot unfolds in the fictional town of Arcadia Bay, where a girl named Max Caulfield discovers her ability to rewind time. In the game, she must learn to control this skill in order to not harm others while also saving her friend from death.

Life is Strange is a worthy simulator of a freshman in the genre of interactive drama, where you have to negotiate dates, help classmates with lab work, and save victims of bullying from suicide. But in addition to solving everyday problems, the game also features a detective storyline in the search for a missing girl named Rachel Amber, and even an ending with elements of mysticism.

Despite criticism for its disappointing ending, the game attracts players with its realism and relatability to everyday life. All five episodes captivate with their hand-drawn graphics and pleasant indie-folk style soundtracks.
