The time has come – Life is Strange: Double Exposure is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Windows and Steam.

It’s a gripping and beautiful experience for anyone who loves mystery stories, amazing characters, and awesome music. Sigue leyendo, and we’ll tell you all about it.

What’s the story of Life is Strange: Exposición doble?

The new game puts you in the role of Max Caulfield – a talented photographer working at the prestigious Caledon University.

Some of you may recognize Max – she was the protagonist of the very first Life is Strange adventure. Now she’s back, still performed by the talented Hannah Telle, but with a new life and a new job in a new place.

That fresh start is torn to pieces, sin embargo, when her closest friend, Safi, is found murdered in the snow. There’s no murder weapon, no clues, and no suspects – it’s an impossible crime.

por suerte, Max is well-equipped to solve it. She discovers she has the ability to Shift at will between two timelines – the one where Safi was murdered and another where her friend is still alive. It’s up to her to solve the murder in one timeline, and prevent it in the other – even if that means exposing the dark secrets that lurk at the heart of the university…

Who are the main characters?

Your investigation into Safi’s murder will introduce you to a host of fascinating folk, including many of Caledon’s students and staff. You’ll get to know these people intimately over the course of the game – you’ll discover that before long they start feeling like old friends – or perhaps, en algunos casos, enemies.

Lo que es más, you’ll get to meet them in two very different timelines and, while their core personalities are consistent, you may be surprised by how different events – and the choices you make – can change their outlook and relationship with Max.

Some of these unforgettable figures include:

  • Max – The protagonist of the game, returning from the very first Life is Strange story. She’s a quiet, introspective young woman, blessed with both a skill at photography, and some mysterious supernatural abilities.

  • Safi – Max’s closest friend on campus is creative, outgoing, and great at getting Max to open up a little. She is murdered in mysterious circumstances but remains alive and well in another timeline.

  • Moses – An astrophysicist who works at Caledon University’s Observatory. He’s good friends with Safi and becomes a close confidant for Max when life takes a turn for the strange.

  • Vinh – Assistant to the Dean and head of the Abraxas Society, a secretive artistic collective that specializes in ‘performance art’. He’s handsome and charming, but is there a hidden depth behind that smile?

  • Amanda – Runs the Snapping Turtle bar, and is a huge advocate for music, art, and comedy. She’s always there to lend Max an ear and has something of a crush on the talented photographer.

  • Gwen – a published author and professor in the literature department. She’s loved by her wife and her students but can be quick to distrust the motives of those around her.

  • Lucas – an award-winning author whose passion for literature is matched only for his passion for himself. He’s a much sought-after teacher, though many on campus find his arrogance frustrating.

  • Diamante – an aspiring director with a special interest in watching and creating documentaries. She has her eye on leadership of the Abraxas Society and wants nothing more than to take the crown from Vinh.

  • Loretta – a true crime enthusiast who has her own podcast: ‘Get a Clue.’ When she senses a scoop, she’ll pursue it relentlessly – an approach that often proves as irritating as it is effective.

That’s just a small selection of the people you’ll meet in the game. To learn more about the characters, asegúrese de consultar nuestra guía:

How do you use Max’s powers?

Max’s new powers don’t just make for a fascinating story, they also open up all kinds of fun gameplay opportunities.

There are two main powers at your disposal: Pulse and Shift.

Pulse lets Max glimpse into the other timeline without traveling there herself. Want to see where someone goes, or eavesdrop on a conversation – all without them knowing? This lets you do it.

The other power is Shift. At certain points in each area, Max is able to instantly transport herself from one world to another. It’s a stunning visual effect as the entire scene changes before your eyes, but it’s also very useful. If a door is locked in one timeline, it may be open in another, giving you entry. You can even carry objects between timelines – grabbing an item in one, to give you an edge in the other.

You’ll use these powers over the course of the story, but there are also loads of other, optional opportunities to use and potentially abuse your abilities. Is a student failing a course due to a vindictive teacher? Take the opportunity to raise their grade – though you may have to use your powers to discover a computer password to do so.

There are plenty of opportunities to help and hinder people across the different timelines beyond the critical story path, so keep your eyes open for opportunities to play. And remember – even these small decisions can have an impact.

Do you need to have played a Life is Strange game to enjoy this one?

If you’ve never played a Life is Strange game before, then Double Exposure is a great place to start.

You don’t need any prior knowledge of the previous games, or Max herself. The game tells a new story in a new setting, so feel free to jump on board and see why Max and the series are so beloved.

Who’s on the soundtrack?

The Life is Strange series is famed for its incredible curated soundtracks, featuring some of the most talented Indie artists on the planet, and Double Exposure is no different. De hecho, as well as some top-notch tunes, it also has incredible new music written especially for the game.

Here’s just a selection of the incredible talent you’ll hear:

  • Tessa Rose Jackson
  • New Dad
  • Matilda Mann
  • Ape Dos Mil
  • JFDR
