* In episode 3 you can spill beer on Frank. The thing is, in the previous episode someone asked for beer and Joyce says, "This is a diner! Not a bar!" So where did he get the beer from?

* In episode 2 there's a grumpy guy who wants to look out the window. What doesn't make sense is why he doesn't sit near any of the windows. You may be asking, "But wait! What if the seats were full when he came in?" Well, why didn't he just move after the people left?

* In Max's first journal entry, she states that Blackwell is "a unique and famous private school for seniors." How then, does everyone seem to know each other? How did everyone know Rachel, who was a year older, in the same year as Chloe, and disappeared last school year? It isn't just them living in a small town, because the conversation with Hayden in Episode 1 implies he (along with Victoria at least) was in the Vortex club last year. Daniel also says he had drawn Rachel before, and Evin has [[spoiler: pictures of her in his portfolio]]. What gives?

** Leaving wasn't her choice, and that kind of thing happens.

* Why ''did'' Max leave her best friend and her best friend's family behind in Arcadia Bay without ever calling them, texting them, or contacting them in any way at all for five years, even when she arrived back in town?

** Because you'd be stealing half of it, minimum. It's not like she'd be skimming a couple hundred off the top.

* Why when [[spoiler: you get to steal the handicapped fund, why can't you just take some of it and not all of it? Why just take what you need?]]

** It is a different accident altogether. [[spoiler:Just as the new timeline was forming, we got to see some old Chloe family photos to change. She looked fine in most of them, until the very last one in which it is her birthday and she opened a present with a car key. I think the implication is that sometime after that she went driving on her own and had her accident.]]

** We don't know. That's the point of the cliffhanger.

* Spoiler warning for Episode 3: Chaos Theory [[spoiler: I don't get the ending... Did Chloe end up in the accident over her actual father, only that she lived?]]

** Even though Juliet says that she locked Dana in the room, I don't think the rooms have any locks. Juliet is just using a shorthand for "I'm barricading the door until I'm satisfied with Dana," and it's somewhat clunky.

* How do you lock someone inside their dorm room from the outside?

** Her powers don't function consistently. She can see the tornado no matter where she is several days ahead, but rewinds normally when she does it intentionally. Max didn't rewind on purpose that time.

* Let's start near the beginning. How, after [[spoiler: seeing Chloe die in the bathroom and first using her rewind powers]] can Max go back to the classroom? One point made out by the game is that when you rewind, you sort of stay in place. This sort of after-image thing goes after you, so it doesn't look like you're teleporting everywhere (I guess). So how did Max make it back to class? I don't think she was actually dreaming that time.

** Saving the bird leads to it appearing near the lighthouse later for Max to take a photograph of it - it's likely the bird just flew out of the room before David even went in there.

** The "evidence" in question is evidence of looking through the garage. It's not out of the question that Chloe would let a bird into the house. If he suspects her of going through his files/noticing his cameras, he might try to kick her out of the house. In three of the choices you make in Chloe's room, David finds out you were in the house anyway--what really matters is that he doesn't find out someone noticed his surveillance fetish.

* In Chloe's house, two of the choices with consequences are the decision to save a bird by opening the window, and making sure that you leave no evidence of searching the house so David doesn't catch you. It is still possible to leave no evidence even if save the bird, even though the bird won't leave the room after you let it in, and you're forced to shut the window trapping the bird inside. This implies that, paranoid as David is, he somehow didn't notice a freaking bird in his bedroom.

* Why does the principal start asking Max questions about her reasons for being in the bathroom? Him jumping to the conclusion that she's a troublemaker requires some weapons-grade InsaneTrollLogic, and why doesn't Max simply point out that classes are over and that his accusation thus makes no sense? It feels the game needs drama somehow, and can't come up with a way that'd make sense to introduce it.

** He doesn't have a camera in Chloe's room, he hasn't been home long enough to review the tapes, and even if he did see Chloe take it, calling her on it would require admitting that he's got hidden cameras, which he clearly isn't willing to do.

* How is Chloe able to steal, keep and play with a gun, if David has surveillance installed all over the house? And doesn't it make it poinless hiding when he tries to enter Chloe's room?

** Because they're jocks and she's a tiny girl, not to mention she doesn't have her rewind powers. And when she does she has bigger concerns.

Why doesn't Max even TRY to at least confront the bullies who are bullying Daniel?
