Square Enix and Deck developers Nine Games have released a long gameplay video Of Life is Strange: Double Exposuretogether with interviews with Hannah Telle, the voice actress of the protagonist Max Caulfield, and with Jonathan Stauder and the narrative director Felice Kuan.
The video shows approximately 19 minutes of gameplay coming from what would appear to be the prologue of the new narrative adventure and which serves to reintroduce Max to the players, now older and more mature, and two key supporting characters, Murph and Safithe latter at the center of a mystery that will unleash a new power for the protagonist, now able to travel between two parallel timelines.
The ending of the first Life is Massacre and how players will be able to import their decisions into Double Exposure
In the interview with the developers of Deck Nine we learn that Double Exposure will be respectful of both endings of the first game of the series and therefore basically there isn’t a truly canonical one.
“Players who played the first Life is Strange will remember that there was a crucial decision to make at the end of the game,” Stauder said. “It was really important to Deck Nine that if we did another adventure with Max that the game would be respectful of both of those endings.”
“There is no canonical ending, as far as we’re concerned, of the first game. Deck Nine respects that decision, with Max’s thoughts, his journal, his text messages, his character interactions, what he reveals about his past to his new friends, everything reflects that final choice.”
Subsequently, narrative director Felice Kuan revealed that players will be able to indirectly import choices which they did in the first Life is Strange via a dialogue between Safi and Max in the opening stages of Double Exposure.
“Safi and Max will talk at the beginning of the game, and Arcadia Bay will come up quite naturally. So in this dialogue players will be able to make the same choices or try a different route,” Kuan said.
We remind you that Life is Strange: Double Exposure will be available on PS5, Xbox Series If you want to know more about Max’s new adventure we suggest you read our special with everything we know about the game.
