Life is Strange is a five part episodic narrative driven adventure game that sets out to change story based choice and consequence games by allowing the player to rewind time and affect the past, present and future.

You are Max, a photography senior who saves her old friend Chloe by discovering she can rewind time. The pair soon find themselves exposed to the darker side of Arcadia Bay as they uncover the disturbing truth behind the sudden disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber. Meanwhile, Max begins to have premonitions as she struggles to understand the implications of her power. She must quickly learn that changing the past can sometimes lead to a devastating future.

With a unique hand-drawn art style, Life Is Strange is a compelling, story-driven experience where choice and consequence play a key role in how the narrative unfolds. But there is a twist. At the beginning of the game Max discovers she has a remarkable power… the ability to rewind time. In Life Is Strange the player has the power to affect the game’s narrative and also change the course of history itself.

The films were shot at DONTNOD Entertainment’s studio in Paris with the aim to provide a behind the scenes view of the game and the team working on it. In this first video, the developers introduce to you the origins of the game and describe the story, themes and characters you will encounter as you play through the first chapter of this episodic series.
