    Ah, precious Steam download speeds ;)

    Nice mellow opening. Goes to show how poorly most cutscenes in gaming are directed. A little bit of thought and care makes such a difference.

    Just finished it yesterday. I don't know if I'm just an unobservational idiot but I never suspected the twist ending! Just never saw it being that person. Trying not to spoil anything here.

    I wasn't surprised by the ending at all. There was always something off about said character I always thought. Picture here, spoils who the character in question is so spoilers

    When he handed out the winner of the award to Courtney at the Vortex Party I had my suspicions. i kept thinking that the winning picture would be of a tortured Kate.
    Still gutted Chloe is dead now shot in Rachel Amber's unmarked grave
    Great episode one of the best I played in any episodic series imo

    Yeah it got famous from a very similar scene in the oc which is over ten years old

    Also, that episode really felt like something out of Twin Peaks with a lot of appearances from
    owls

    Wow, looking at that there was no way that scene was going the way i wanted it 2 because of a choice I made in episode 2. So much time wasted rewinding and going through the options.

    In the end I settled for
    stabbing him in the leg
    all other options led to
    him getting shot in the leg but not killed

    Man that is one ridiculously long decision tree!

    Surprisingly I got through
    without harming anyone

    Just finished the first episode there. Nice to have a more grounded game than Telltale's output of zombies, fairy tales, DRAGONZ and , er , whatever Borderlands is.

    Very good overall. Some seriously good music at points. I love that Jose Gonzalez track that is on the hi-fi in Max's room (I think someone on the radio forum called it The Con Air Effect, deadly when it comes on at random). They use the rewind mechanic excellently, they make you feel guilt for every single choice, and the option to rewind is so tantalizing.

    Was a bit weird with Chloe since I remembered her VA from another game, but it wasn't super obvious like say, Troy Baker or Nolan North. Turns out after a look at TV Tropes she was Cassie Cage in Mortal Kombat X.

    Looking forward to playing the rest of the episodes that are out, then having a good cry when the wait is so long for the final episode.

    Just finished the second episode there.

    Man, that is probably one of the best instances in gaming of making you feel powerless. For two episodes I've been rewinding and seeing how different decisions play out and then it's taken away from at a crucial point.
    Thankfully, I saved Kate though.

    Edit: Nice touch too by the developers to mention support groups and how to contact them after the credits too.

    Looks like they are announcing Episode 5 release date today.

    https://twitter.com/LifeIsStrange/status/645923485596950528

    If they do, I really hope it's on or before the 29th as that's my last day before I get rid of the PS4 and head off. I'd love to complete this story first.

    Played the first 4 episodes over the space of a few days a couple of weeks ago. Waiting another month is painful.

    Confirmed for October 20th. Fingers crossed it doesn't get lost in its own plot (think the teaser at the end of the last episode fell back on an overfamiliar reveal) and manages to tie everything together sensibly and intelligently:

    I never copped that this is from the Remember Me devs. Nice.
    Wasn't too gone on the first episode but I was sold by the second. Had the obligatory "WTF" moment at the end of the last one. Roll on the 20th!
