If chloe and max aren't friends or an item in the Bae ending I'll be upset. Not read the comics, so im not sure if I'm missing anything important, but LIS2 specifically goes out of it's way to tell us they're happy

Steph never took her eyes off of Alex during the performance 😭

Can you please add Turkish subtitles to the video?

Can you please add Turkish subtitles to the video?

I'm so glad that i find a channel where someone is as much obsessed with LiS licence, i just love it si much

He will have a memoriam tattoo of either Joyce or Chloe, depending on which one is dead, and offer Daniel advice on raising Daniel in a tough world.

3:05:00 y does she sound so much like Joyce??! lol

well I've never seen that option before

I'm kind of conflicted about how they handle Max and Chloe's relationship in a Bae over Bay ending. On the one hand, them breaking up or taking a relationship break due to the shared trauma is understandable and realistic. On the other hand, going with this would feel like invalidating the comic run that explored the ending where we save Chloe, and had the two go through an arc of conflict and separation and finally reuniting to be stronger for it. I find the comics to be really great and would love to see cameos of characters like Pixie and Tristan, but Double Exposure going with a break-up feels like either a) ignoring spin-off media and brushing someone's hard work for SE and LiS under the rug, or b) taking that story into account and then have that character development take a big 10 steps back. Or maybe I'm huffing copium and just really don't want to have one of my fave ships be canonically broken up in the future, even 10 years later.

I think depending on what you chose in the previous game is your main reality. Whether that be you saved Max or Arcadia Bay. The reality you travel to is the reality of your opposite choice.

Kate is so sweet🥺 I would choose her for sure

I like your take! (well what you've revealed 😉) Like you, I want to see Max & Chloe together (at least in one of the timelines 😉) but I think I'd want it to be nuanced and make sense. I agree with you, time apart is not a bad way to explain Chloe's absence I'll be happy as long as it didn't end badly between them, if they drifted I'd want it to be mutual. (but that's just me, other's might have different feelings) if that's how the devs explain why Chloe is MIA (in the case of her being alive) as long as it was an amicable "split" I'll be ok with that lol. But I'd like to see Chloe in game even if her and Max are not together, even just a small cameo (but more than a photo) it would make me squal like a fan girl! lol I think I'll be happy just to know that the two of them kept in touch (if the player kept Chloe alive), just cause I'd hate for Chloe and/or Max to have ghosted eachother (because we all know what that did to Chloe). Regardless of what the devs have created I will be playing this game cause I love the Life is Strange franchise and LiS 1 is always there to play again for those of us who miss Chloe and Max together! I'm so happy that Hannah Telle is back as Max! I will miss Ashly Burch if she doesn't voice Chloe (assuming Chloe is even in it as a voiced character), not that Rhianna DeVries isn't awesome (cause she is) but Ashly is Chloe to me! But I digress. No matter what: I cannot wait to play this game!

I think it would be interesting if the two dimensions max can travel through its a dimension where she choose to save Chloe and another where she saves the city. So both ending would be present and we could enjoy time with Chloe. But I know its not going to be that way

I'm too much like alex to be watching you cry girl lol. but god that song

I don't understand why there can't be depth in an ending if they stay together. It's up to Deck Nine to be able to write something really good. Because Michel Koch gives this to the fans at the end of the first game when you save Chloe, there's a tweet from him about it: "but they leave together, alive. They have plenty of time, their adventure together is just starting! Forever." There is already an ending where Chloe is not with Max, she is dead and Max needs to live with that, now even in the other ending there are people who want them to no longer be in each other's lives?! I find it quite discouraging. But I understand what you said, it shouldn't be something cheap. I'm sorry for the outburst. I liked your channel, your videos and theories

Got Alex Chen, and now I'm relating to The Exhibitionist a little bit too much right now I fear and - oh! Well, would you already look at that a bus ticket to Haven Springs has already been paid for, oopsie hehe thats so crazy 👀

Thank you so much for this let's play :). Enjoyed it so much !! Played Love is strange years ago and it was so nice to rediscover it.

Steph 100% relied on peripheral vision to play those drums. I ain’t never seen someone fall in love this hard and I am all for it 😭.

I dont think they would've green lit this game if they couldn't come up with a way to make Chloe work. Their solution? I think they dedicated a chapter where Max enlist Chloe's help. If she's alive, you go to see her in person. If she's dead? You use your alternate timeline powers to visit a version of Chloe or rewind briefly to LIS 1 Chloe. The choice of if they were a couple or not will be asked in dialogue choices early on.

I think i know what is the theory, but i will let the time show what i'm thinking.

The "#2 Photo Proof" It's "Chios" not "Chloe" and actually makes sense... If you look at the big picture, not just this photo, you'll see a wall with photos and notes about locations... You can see "Milagros" which is a city in the Philippines. You can also see a photo of "Merida, Mexico" which is the capital of Yucatán state in Mexico. This photo makes sense it is "Chios" which is an island in Greece and we talking about locations. The second word looks like "Ooreooke" or "Oorsooke". Oorsooke looks like a native american word and could just be the dog's name, what doesn't make a lot of sense is that a dog in Greece has a native American word as his name (?) And if you put "Ooreooke" on Google it's detected as a word of some African language and it means "ears/eyes" and makes more sense than the other word.

They know what they're doing. I'm pretty sure we might have a presence of Chloe again. Also, it's interesting to analyze that Max is acting more like Chloe, yk traumatized. She probably understands much more about how Chloe felt for being alone, now Max is alone and heavily traumatized.

I hope there isn't much Chloe in the new game. It would be too much of a burden, I want to see a new story and new characters and not fan service for a character who already had 2 games.

The "both endings will be options" is a copout imo. It would have been far more interesting to pick one, and explore how in the other timeline the other came true. Then Max sees the long term consequences of both, and maybe tries to join them together somehow. She's trying to save Safi, and maybe she would try to save Chloe too. Just having it down to a choice to change dialogue will feel so underwhelming to the gravity of the events.

U should have more subs, love the videos style. Altho i am a lil scared for Ryan. 😂

What if Max has to stay away from Chloe in order to avoid another storm? That would also explain the change in her power

I *personally* can't imagine Chloe or Max separating from each other's side for very long at all. I don't think you are wrong for thinking its too much work for Deck Nine to develop more than a mostly linear/singular path, but narratively speaking, I genuinely cannot see Max and Chloe drifting apart as either friends OR partners. SO many times through the first game, Max constantly says she will never leave Chloe's side. Obviously like if you choose sacrifice Chloe, yes I guess technically she is "leaving" her side (but her memory lives on with Max) BUT if you choose sacrifice bay, I truly believe Max would honor those words with the exception that perhaps Max is temporarily working for this school and Chloe will join up with her later. I will that kind of scenario is probably my wishful thinking. In the end, my nervous for this game so I am trying to not get my hopes up too much but admittly it is so hard to not think about this game after 9 years of adoring this series LMAO.

Similar to Batman Arkham Knight’s Joker returning due to Batman’s hallucinations, Chloe could come back in a similar manner. This is if she is dead. I can also see something crazy happening in the story where Chloe somehow replaces Safi and interacts with Max in one of the chapters.

Chloe #2 Chihuahua Chloe gets reincarnated as one and is the mystery murder. Case solved

I've heard from a podcast where chloe's va (Ashly Burch) prefers the bay ending route. So i dont think she will return in double exposure, maybe rhianna devries could voice chloe if she ever appears in the new game. So much for my hopes to see chloe again after sacrificing the whole town, we can only prolly get a cameo scene 🤷‍♀️

As amazing as it would for them to make 2 different versions significantly different with the 2 endings it’s not likely as you said it would be expensive and deck nine also seems to be really putting their hopes in this one as their other major games they were working got cut. So I doubt they are gonna make it very different. Honestly since they are going the multiple timeline route they very easily could have a Chloe who was alive in either timeline. Or at the very least maybe she makes an appearance in later chapters. That said this game screams cash grab to me right now and it’s existence already seems disrespectful to the original game, but they could prove me wrong. The fact they are releasing the episodes early to preorders really rubs me the wrong way. I certainly won’t be buying it right away and will look for reviews and let’s play a to see if it seems worth my money.

The #2 could mean it’s the second shot, you know how a photographer might take multiple pictures of a similar but slightly different shot?

Has the video about the 12 endings for Mac Riley and Eleanor disappeared?

Thank you for acknowledging that her referring to Chloe as a high school sweetheart is her not wanting to discuss her past. I feel like people have been up in arms but that's exactly how I interpreted that choice myself.

You have feelings for a video game?

I didn't get this scene when I played 🥲 but at least I got a super flirty text exchange between Max and Victoria (spoiler alert: there was a selfie involved).

Okay... I'm still in the intro here... but about Gabes death... The reason you ( and pretty much everyone else ) doesn't see it coming is because... A) the no detonation call was made. B ) You, the player, is hyper focused on Ethan and getting him to safety. C ) you are even more nervous as you saw what happens to Alex when she gets overwhelmed by others emotions, so chosing to drop all your mental shields is DEFINATELY gonna have you on edge. D) you feel safe for a few seconds as Ethan is safe and Alex lays on the ground... your brain goes ' Thank God that's over!' Then the alarm blares... its too much too quickly and you can't process it. You can only watch in horror as it unfolds...

Have you read the comic that takes place on the Chloe alive timeline. Its so good but I'm worried that they wont continue any of that story into the Chloe alive version of this game.

I love watching your reaction to Steph and Alex talking about the Larp... its sooooo cute!

Note.... I have a plushie guinea pig that I named Shu-Shu because of Alex and her Shu-Shu.

Cool work! Keep it up!

actually i cleaned both the 3 things in the room and did the 2 plant spots, and i also did 2/3 strength choices (didn't walk away from Mac) and still i got the lovers. So the strength doesn't overwritte the lovers

15:16 bruh….

Chloe or no Chloe I'm gonna love this game because having max back is good enough for me, also my feeling is that Chloe not being in this game gives Decknine the ability to have another game for Chloe but that's just a thought I have.

That was so fun to watch I took time to see it because I didn't want it to end xDD I would honestly watch if you decide to make videos on the other routes !!

First, I want to thank Tina for making this video, ESPECIALLY the part about the dialogue choices with Safi. It makes sense that Max avoids discussing intimate details of her past before Caledon with someone she's just getting to know. Thanks for pointing that out. Regarding Chloe's role in the game, I have a theory about YOUR theory. As a beginner game designer, I believe it's impossible to have two different storylines, one with Chloe and one without, because that would mean creating two different games. This however doesn't mean Chloe will be reduced to a background character, visible only via texts or flashbacks. Instead, Chloe will likely join the main plot NO MATTER which ending is chosen. Decknine made it clear that the game is about closure for both players and Max. They said they want to show the connection between the two endings, which is why there are two timelines. I believe Chloe will be alive in at least one timeline and have a major role. decknine itself established The line "We are Max and Chloe. We're always together, even when we're not". I believe Decknine chose the two timelines to ensure Chloe has a major role regardless of the chosen ending. People who chose Bay>Bae don't necessarily hate Chloe, and Max is deeply devastated by either of those choices.so with all that said here's how i think they're going about this: Chloe won't appear in the first two episodes. This allows us to get to know the new characters, establish new relationships, and understand the new Max better. The 2 timelines will reflect the two endings of the first game, and your conversation with Safi will determine your main timeline. Chloe will physically return in episode 3 or 4 and is gonna stay and she will have a major role in the plot. In the Bae> Bay ending, Chloe's absence can be explained in two ways: 1. They are spending some time apart, which doesn't mean they've broken up (aligning with Tina's theory). 2. Chloe is busy with her own life and career. She’s evolved over the past 10 years and likely she won't be slacker following max everywhere she goes. Chloe will return with a significant role in the game, with changes mainly in dialogues and minor outcomes, not creating two entirely different games.
