As Chloe and Max try to find where they stand with the other in their rusted friendship, the events around Rachel's disappearance unravel and increasingly strange things begin happening in Arcadia Bay. Complicating things is Max's secret discovery that she has the ability to rewind time, allowing the Max (and thus the player) to go back and change things that have already happened.

Focusing primarily on the relationship between the two girls as the world starts to go wrong around them, ''Life Is Strange'' is a story-driven emotional game, bathed in a gorgeous cel-shaded hand-drawn style and coupled with an indie rock soundtrack. Choices and their consequences is a major theme of the game - the girls are at the cusp of adulthood, a time when their choices will define who they will be in their adult years.

Episode one debuted on January 30th, with the rest of the episodes coming out through 2015. The game is available on [=PlayStation=] 3, [=PlayStation=] 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC (through Steam), and Mac (also through Steam).

Max Caulfield is a high school senior who just recently moved back to her hometown of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, after an absence of five years. Upon her return, she discovers that fellow senior Rachel Amber has vanished under rather mysterious circumstances. Investigating the disappearance reunites Max with her former best friend, Chloe, who formed a kinship (or possibly more) with Rachel after Chloe's father died the same year that Max left.

As Chloe and Max work (or don't) to fix their rusty friendship, the events around Rachel's disappearance unravel.
