''Love Is Strange'' is a fan-made {{Freeware}} VisualNovel made by [[https://twitter.com/teamrumblebee Team Rumblebee]] and based on the VideoGame ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', but with the dark and supernatural elements excised and the QueerRomance brought to the fore. Compared to most such fan [=VNs=], the production quality is extremely high, boasting 150,000 words of text and a complete original set of backgrounds and soundtrack, not to mention a whole host of other cool elements that are definitely not UsefulNotes/RenPy standard, such as in-game achievements and a continually-updating journal.
