This is not just a game, more like an art, detached from the film, games, novels, another kind of immersion senses.
This is "Life is Strange."
The game can be said to be role-playing, can also be said to resolve the riddle.
But none of these types can generalize the game because it's more like art itself.

The game story is about a literary girl, Max, who had a dream about storms. After class, she went to the toilet to wash her face and followed a blue butterfly to the back of the toilet compartment. When she was about to take a picture, she heard a gunshot.
At this moment, her hand touched the blue butterfly; time began to reverse.
Max has the ability to reverse time.
Why this need to be so detailed?
That's because in this game, it is a half-open world, all the information is the clues for the game.
Just like what the game mentions at the beginning, every decision you make affects the future and the past; please be careful.
So, inadvertently the information you erased might save the classmate from commit suicide. Your warning can help people escape death. Your inadvertent nod can bring hope.
You might not know when you are doing these actions, but after a few chapters, you will suddenly understand.

This is like our real life; some small changes will affect the future. Every humble choice makes a fortune. It's just that there are hints in the game about options that affect the future, and you can reverse time to make a choice.
But in real life, there will never be a chance to restart again.
Back to the past and choose again, is what many people desire.
But what will be different if you can really choose again?
"Life is strange" has the answers.
The story revolves around Max helping Chloe to find her missing friend, Rachel.
Like all the adolescence, beautiful and confused.
Max is an ordinary girl, sensitive, kind and simple.
She likes photography, likes playing the guitar, and don’t know how to show her feelings.
Chloe is a rebellious punk girl who lives with her stepfather and mother.
She hates her stepfather, hates the whole world, and only loves Max, Dad, Mom, and Rachel.
In the process of searching for Rachel, when the time is constantly changing, some peculiar vision happens.
Began to snow under 27 degrees, two suns in the sky, the moon became red blood.
In the ever-changing past, the fact that cannot be changed is the most heartbreaking.
Max went through the past and the future just to save Chloe.
But no matter which timeline, Chloe's death is inevitable.
source
Max watched her die again and again. She wanted to save her friend, so she had to fix the timeline again and again.
But in the process, she summoned a devastating storm.
In the fifth chapter, Max went through all the memories of Chloe. All people would hurt her and call her name.
Only Chloe was the most important thing in her life.
The story starts with an ordinary girl gets her ability; it is not like normal RPG, or collect love game.
As a choice game, each of our choices, all affect the future, not like a simple game.
The game was created in 2015, the graphic may not be beautiful enough for many people, but the music inside the city is very stunning.
Along with the music, the ups and downs of the plot and personality characteristics of the people placed in the world of Max.
In addition to the main plot, the game also has Max's diary, as well as the half-open world that can complement the plot, make the story more complete, and also more realistic. In a half-open world, we can follow Max to meet a lot of people, to help them or ignore them.
We can see a lot of things, some of the game is a metaphor for the plot, some are delicate easter eggs, and some will affect the future development.
These easter eggs can sometimes only be found after the end, the most normal corner, in fact, has foreshadowed the end.
Besides these, the most successful part of the game is the shaping of emotions and music.
Everyone in the game is a living person, they have their bright side and also a dark side.
source
Even the main character, Max, has a dark side.
There is always something changed after each retrospective, but there is something that hasn't changed.
No matter how time passes, Chloe is still the punk girl, rebellious and sensible, hiding her feelings. Nathan is still the stubborn rich kid; Victoria is still domineering.
All things will not change, even if time changes.
It's like we always want time to go backward, back to a certain time and make a choice again. Or regret what you said or done.
Always hope that there will be a chance to rechoose all this.
What kind of life would it be if everything could be fixed.
Everything will be happy; all will be better, not as bad as now.
Max has this ability; she can look at the photos and reverse time back to the time of the photo, She changes all her regrets, want a happy ending, but ignored the warning around.
In fact, in the beginning, we already know the answer, there is always something remind us to pay attention to each choice carefully.
But we just tend to choose to ignore or disregard.
As if the strange phenomena appeared, when the birds died out of nowhere, Max should know what she had caused.
For Chloe, she doesn't care.
In the fourth chapter, Max escaped from the cellar, and she went to Warren to get a picture to change the timeline. When the whole town was hit by a storm, Chloe was dead, and disaster struck. Her cell phone rang, and Nathan confessed with a cry.
His confession and the rainstorm melted together in a faint song.
‘Try to try again......’
source
Many things are like that, even if we try again, it won’t have other results.
Things that can change forever is always the appearance, the real is always hidden in the deepest and won’t move.
No matter how many changes you made, no matter how many choices you made, there is always something is fixed.
What will lose will never stay, it will leave in another form.
Destruction is inevitable, what we can do is to accept it.
Everyone is hurting others because refuse to accept.
Refuse to accept yourself, refuse to accept reality, and refuse to accept the past.
At the end of the story, you have to make a choice that can never be changed and accept the fact.
When everything has happened, it is the best ending.
If not accepted, it will only lead to greater disaster.
Accept the reality, accept the ending, and accept every right or right choice.
It's a piece of work that carries too much and is worth digging deep.
It's more of a generational sensation than a movie or a novel because you are the one who makes the choice.
LIFE IS STRANGE.
I din read it, but I complete before the storm 2/3 episodes, is sad to know that Rachel Amber is dead before the game even start, maybe I will read through once I complete the story.
Come back after you complete the game. Your "Life is Strange" gameplay actually inspired me to write this post.
It's been awhile since I played this game, so there are some words that are not exactly the same in the game.
