** The Typhon Mining Corporation as a whole is the organization responsible for the events of the game. A mining company with zero regard for safety, they ended up causing an accident that killed multiple people, including [[spoiler:Alex's father]], then in the process of covering it up, [[spoiler:also caused the death of Alex's brother Gabe]]. Typhon does everything in their power to prevent others from investigating what happened, such as threatening Deputy Pike and threatening Alex with jail unless she agrees to keep what she learned of them a secret.
** [[spoiler:Leena Clark is a superior of Typhon Mining who represents all their worst qualities. A callous sociopath, Leena was one of the people behind the detonation coverup that killed Gabe. She pressured Diane Jacobs into going through with the detonation by threatening her job should she delay it, uncaring that innocents, including a child, were in the blast radius. When Diane replied via email, outraged that she ended up killing an innocent man, Leena dismissed it as an "unavoidable accident".]]

** [[HalfWittedHillbilly Chad Michaels]], also appearing in ''Faith'', only appears in one scene, but is a vicious and [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist]] hillbilly who brags about harassing minorities. He catches Sean on his property, and begins to harass and humiliate him, tries to force him to sing, and denounces America as his country. Meanwhile, his more passive friend Mike is too spinless to really do anything, despite being put off by Chad. Should Sean be defiant, Chad will viciously beat Sean senseless before he flees.

** [[spoiler:[[EvilTeacher Mark Jefferson]] initially appears to be a charming and friendly teacher but is revealed to be the the mastermind behind the Dark Room -- his chamber where he takes the girls he has drugged and kidnapped for torture and occasional murder for the sake of his art. He is also an emotional manipulator, using vulnerable people like Nathan Prescott and Kate Marsh for his own gain, and depending on your actions, he can kill up to six people, many of whom are Max's friends. While most of the other antagonistic characters are shown to have depths, Mark Jefferson is simply a sadist.]]
** Logan Robertson, while not as repulsive as Sean Prescott or [[spoiler:Mark Jefferson]], is still a nasty piece of work. He's shown throughout to be a rude, sexist jock who can be seen bullying [=Daniel DaCosta=], and ditched his girlfriend Dana after getting her pregnant. While he does write her an apologetic letter, he's later shown to have not learned his lesson, as he drunkenly hits on Max, Victoria, and Taylor at the Vortex Club party. Max can then call him out on his behavior.

** Damon Merrick is a brutal gangster. Having his hands in drugs, dogfighting, murder, and sexual assault, Damon spends the game attacking and attempting to murder Chloe and her friends, leaving them with brutal injuries, even assaulting his former friend Frank, and [[spoiler:kidnapping Sarah on behalf of the more sympathetic James Amber to torture her]].
** [[spoiler:[[DoggedNiceGuy Eliot Hampden]], though [[BitchInSheepsClothing seemingly nice]], reveals himself to be a creepy and obsessive StalkerWithACrush. He writes "love poems" in which he fantasizes about killing Chloe if she rejects him. Eventually, he snaps and corners Chloe in Rachel's house; there he declares he is entitled to Chloe and her love because he "was there for her" when Max left and tries to emotionally manipulate and gaslight her against Rachel, before potentially trying to force himself on her.]]
* ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'' has the police as the primary antagonists, but since most of them are just doing their jobs, these {{Arc Villain}}s serve to be loathsome in their place:
** [[TheBully Brett Vaughun Foster]], the StarterVillain and neighbor to the Diaz brothers, establishes himself as a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist and ableist bully]] in the short amount of time he appears. One encounter leads to an altercation with Sean; this sets off Officer Matthews showing up on the scene and shooting Esteban Diaz, in turn getting himself accidentally killed by Daniel. The subsequent events of the game, and the Diaz brothers' lives going in a downward spiral, are [[SmallRoleBigImpact all the result of]] Brett harassing the brothers.
** [[BadSamaritan Hank Stamper]] is the ArcVillain of ''[[Recap/LifeIsStrange2Ep01Roads Episode 1: Roads]]''. The owner of a local gas station that Sean and Daniel stop at, Hank confronts them and accuses them of stealing, regardless of if they did, then smacks Daniel and kidnaps Sean. While holding Sean captive and planning to turn them both in to the police, he reveals himself to be a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Mexican-hating racist]]. Despite all this, he is [[VillainWithGoodPublicity respected by the community]] and is treated as a victim of the Diaz brothers.
** [[spoiler:[[SinisterMinister Lisbeth Fischer]]]] is the ArcVillain of ''Episode 4: Faith''. [[spoiler:The Reverend Mother of Haven Point, Lisbeth founded the group after being kicked out of church for her extreme viewpoints. Lisbeth exploits the troubled youth Nicholas and the runaway Daniel into becoming members. She [[HeteronormativeCrusader tried to send Jacob to a conversion therapy camp]], and is endangering his pneumonic little sister Sarah Lee by refusing her medicine in favor of faith healing -- despite [[{{Hypocrite}} having a cabinet full of pills herself]]. She finally orders Nicholas to [[WouldHurtAChild beat and kill Sean]], and when Daniel's powers set the church on fire, she [[TakingYouWithMe tries to trap everyone inside]]. Despite her preachings, Lisbeth Fischer is a cult leader who only seeks to use Daniel to get more donations.]]
