Life is Strange: Double Exposure

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the fourth main part of Life is Strange, a series of adventure games launched in 2015. The development of this sequel was handled by Deck Nine studio, which already has in its portfolio both Life is Strange: Before the Storm and Life is Strange: True Colors.

Plot

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a continuation of the story from the first part of the series, starting a few years later. The main character of the game is Max Caulfield, who has the power to manipulate time, and is now a photographer at the prestigious Caledon University. When our protagonist discovers the body of her friend - Safi - who has been murdered, she decides to use her long-unused ability to turn back time.

Instead, the girl opens a passage to a parallel reality in which Safi is still safe and sound. Knowing that the murderer will soon launch an attack, this time in both dimensions, Max must do everything in her power to stop the killer from committing the crime, while avoiding the relentless detective who is hot on her heels.

Interestingly, at the beginning of the game we can choose which of the two available endings of Life is Strange is canon for the purpose of this new story.

Gameplay

In Life is Strange: Double Exposure we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Unlike the first installment of the series, the main character can not only turn back time, but also jump between dimensions. Max uses this ability, conducting an investigation spread between two realities, which is the pillar of the gameplay.

We explore the Caledon University campus, meet various characters, talk to people and build relationships, gradually uncovering the next elements of the plot. During the adventure we make decisions that affect the course of the story and its ending.
