There’s even a moment in which the entire town partakes in a LARP to cheer up a grieving kid. Alex can also check out MyBlock, a Nextdoor-like social media platform where the townsfolk share local updates, Easter eggs, and local banter some of which are pay-offs as a result of the choices Alex made around those characters. Some of this insight comes from Alex’s phone, which shares details of her relationships with her friends with some text messages (the content of which varies depending on your in-game choices). It comes across loud and clear that the residents genuinely care about each other.
The pair soon finds themselves investigating the mysterious disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber, uncovering a dark side to life in Arcadia Bay.This is a small mountain town, and in typical small-town fashion, everyone knows their neighbors and their community is tight-knit. LIFE IS STRANGE follows the story of Max Caulfield, a photography senior who discovers she can rewind time while saving her best friend Chloe Price. “By making the first episode of Life is Strange free, we’re really excited to welcome new players to the world of Arcadia Bay and our passionate, vibrant community” said Jon Brooke, VP Brand and European Marketing at Square Enix, “We’re incredibly pleased with the awards that the series has won to date as well as the support that our community has given us throughout the campaign.” “We’re really glad that Square Enix has decided to give the first episode away for free so more players can begin their journey and see why people have fallen in love with the game for themselves”.Īs well as winning the BAFTA for Best Story, the Peabody Award, the Golden Joystick’s Performance of the Year and The Game Awards’ Games for Impact Award, LIFE IS STRANGE has garnered over 75 Game of the Year awards and listings. “Although our team set out to create an award-winning narrative we still cannot believe the response we’ve had from players of Life is Strange,” said Oskar Guilbert, CEO of DONTNOD Entertainment. To celebrate, there is a brand new trailer showing Max and Chloe in action that is available now. Square Enix and DONTNOD Entertainment have announced that the first episode of the award-winning and critically-acclaimed narrative driven game LIFE IS STRANGE will be available to download for free indefinitely, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Mac and PC, starting now.
