Life is Strange revolves around the choices you make, making the story feel more personal. The game also uses choice mechanics to put the player in morally and emotionally difficult situations, where the right choice isn’t always clear. These choices can impact relationships, future events and even the world itself.

The choice mechanic goes beyond dialogue to influence gameplay, mirroring how complex handling difficult situations can be. For example: Max has the ability to rewind time, which we can use to experiment with different choices, seeing the immediate outcomes before choosing them for real.
