[@thevalkyriemercenary9463]

@charaznable8072 it is confirmed that rachel wasn't the first since all the gallery photos outside the academy are also his victims plus he also has files on almost every female student in Blackwell (one of them has Samanthas name on one although it has been debunked by her voice actress that it's not the same one from BTS)

[@lifeisstr4nge]

So then Mr. Jefferson definitely was lying when he said he didn't know Chloe when they met in the 4th episode.

[@TeddyK1ng]

Well maybe, but he might not have recognised her with the hair tattoos and all of that, but I also don't think Chloe even ever took his classes I think it was only Rachel who did.

[@lifeisstr4nge]

@@TeddyK1ng ah, but he said he'd had enough of faux punk sluts, hinting to Max about Chloe that way. Also, consider that Chloe and Rachel were barely apart. But my point was that he'd have seen Chloe the same way we see her in LiS, from the call pic. As criminals do - they'd like to cover some tracks, right?

[@lemony1905]

chloe took science based subjects in blackwell and rachel studied the arts. he might not recognise her from a picture he didn’t take himself, seems like he’d do, given that he’s a narcissist.

[@supermegaepictriangleguy6899]

@@TeddyK1ng if you listen to the radio the first time your in the junk yard it talks about how Jefferson is going to be hired soon so he wasn’t working there currently

[@TinoMallorKing]

For sure. The reason that Nathan wanted to kill her was because he took Chloe to the Dark Room and maybe Jefferson was there too.

[@daynapollnow8670]

Is it just me or when they played the game or watched someone else play it felt kinda cheap and incomplete. Spoiler alert but the ending that we hit where Rachel Amber got hurt with a knife and we had to tell or her about her mom or not, is not a good storyline. Because in the end it doesn’t even matter because no matter what you choose she was still going to die by mark and Nathan by an accidental drug overdose. I feel like they should have explored Rachel’s story more and how she and if she really did hook up with frank and how she got to the back room. Like ya we know bits and pieces because of Chloe and max but we don’t know if it was true or not. So I would have loved to see the makers of this game use that instead of the before the storm game that we got. It was still a good game but as I said the choices and storylines felt incomplete because of the original game life is strange.

[@user-sj8fu8cw9g]

Tru the whole before the storm felt sorta rushed in general

[@ville666sora]

Agree. Rachel and Frank's relationship was one of the most intriguing parts of Rachel's story from the first game, and is the main thing I wanted to see in this DLC, other than Rachel and Chloe of course. I feel like maybe the developers didn't want to go there since Rachel was underage at the time and Frank is like mid twenties or something, but then they shouldn't have included it in the first game then.

[@imed-777]

I can't understand how that bastard did this and why exactly and how this happened it's so sad to be with someone and they disappear and then find them dead because of someone who doesn't care about the consequences of their actions I can always imagine if it wasn't for that killer it wouldn't have happened in such a brutal way 😭😭😭

[@StaticRealist2050]

If you think about it this game took place in the early 2010s and the police could have tracked her phone albeit making the game less interesting but still.

[@Thegeobot]

if you think about anything this game is so stupid but whatever.....

[@user-ti6ix5tn2o]

If the phone was still around the police could have track her location. And also if Chloe did file a missing person earlier while Rachel phone wasn't completely destroyed yet, Rachel could have been found.

[@sourbeefjuice]

@@user-ti6ix5tn2o tbh Chloe probably didn’t file the missing persons case because despite being so close Rachel had her definitely had their own time? Like that’s how Rachel and Frank must’ve gotten together yk? During times Chloe wasn’t present, all that. Chloe probably just assumed she was off on her own for a bit and it wasn’t anything srs

[@ECODKyleskymast]

@@sourbeefjuice Chloe thought that Rachel skipped town without her, like how they were planning on doing it at the end of episode 2 of Before The Storm.

[@thevalkyriemercenary9463]

@@Thegeobot what's very stupid is that when max and chloe find Rachel they didn't even call the police or in this situation the FBI to tell them that the body has been found

[@frigginlola9916]

This was the moment I started crying

[@wtfudoinghere]

This game hit so fucking hard, as soon as the ending started and I saw Chloe and Rachael I was starting to get choked up cause I remembered how Rachel fucking dies, this game fucking hits, and it makes the original first game all the more heartbreaking, knowing how everything goes in this one. I love this series but holy fuck this game pulls on my heart strings

[@solarRinn]

Just finished the game. Again. Still hits so goddamn hard

[@Daavlot]

I think the last picture of Rachel's phone might symbolizes, that her last thoughts were about a memory with Chloe.

[@bluemacaron4860]

I think that guy who took those photos is Nathan and Jefferson is the only one know his secret until Max in the future find out . ( and Jefferson don't know Chloe , of course ) .

[@hydro7373]

I feel they could've done this better by resolving the mother stuff in ch2 then doing a timeskip to where Rachel disappeared and we can see how her disappearence affected Chloe

Its not secret and Rachel was still alive when Nathan Prescott made shots, that you hear.

[@hers6694]

There’s no way to confirm if she’s alive or not during those shots. The girls are drugged while they’re taken and Rachel was overdosed, so she was likely either slipping away or far gone while he did this

[@novanexus9112]

Before the storm is the only game I can't play after LIS 1 so I watch gameplay instead :

[@kendrashaaaa]

i’m sorry, but I simply just don’t like Rachel at all. She was like the worst friend even worse than Max bc it’s obvious that Max was an introvert so the way she life chloes was sad, but they were kids as as for Rachel Amber, she was a user, she used Chloe for her friendship knew that Chloe had feelings for her, ignore them, and kept stuff from Chloe to the point where she lost her life, when she could’ve just been straight for with Chloe and said hey, I don’t like you like that on top of letting her friend know, where she might have gone, at least Chloe knew what happened to Max but she never knew what happened to Rachel and she never would’ve found out if it wasn’t for max, if she really thought Chloe was her friend, she could’ve at least said, where she was going, and who she was going to be with, is not even telling her specifically where she was going. Of course, she didn’t know that she was going to lose her life, but if she had said something we would have no need for a storm, or for Chloe to lose her life, depending on which ending u pick, quite literally Chloe loses her life looking for Rachel apart from you, one time because before mix had powers, Chloe would’ve died, and nobody would’ve ever found out what happened to Rachel and im sorry but i blame rachel for that, for not telling her one friend or any friend, what she was doing on that day, and for the fact that Chloe lost her life, trying to look for her 🙄

[@ville666sora]

I know it's judgy, but Rachel reminds me so much of every two faced b*tch I ever knew as a teenager so I automatically just didn't like her after the first minute I saw of her. She didn't deserve what Nathan did to her, but she still was a fake, manipulative person. Not to mention she was dating Frank and kept that from Chloe.

[@timmytainment]

Aah, what was that

[@envyshaun5937]

I hate this ending so bad

[@enriquesalgado6753]

If you look at the date that appears on Rachael's phone it appears that it is April 22, 2013 so there was a transition of 3 years after the end of Before the storm. So if it is possible that it was Mr. Jefferson who took the photographs and not Nathan. + I have this theory (which may not be correct) What if the person being photographed is actually Max? Implying that Mr. Jefferson hadn't actually shot Chloe with a real bullet (since the shot mark is pretty thin and small to have been with a real gun) what if it's actually Chloe who's calling Mr. Jefferson? Max?

[@noirangel__]

Max wasn't in the dark room until the day of the storm (October 11th 2013) Rachel was in the dark room the day she went missing (if i remember correctly)

[@Kafei01]

I could not like this game because of this. I mean, what's the point of all of what we have done ? One is 100% dead and the other should die to get the "good" ending. What's the point of playing life is strange ? They all die in terrible ways no matter what you do, it's just sad and useless. So yeah, it's a shocking enging, bravo, very emotional stuff, but that killed the franchise for me, I have avoided the new entries because of this personally. What's the Fcking point.

Luckily i played BTS first, but i do agree, if i did play season 1 first, I would've found BTS quite pointless storywise. Just the fact i played it first made it enjoyable to me

[@kartolina444]

it's not about good endings. it's about the journey and the beautiful and tragic things life offers. and about having all the time in the world and none at the same time, ironically. life is strange doesn't need a happy ending, it's not at all about that.

You are right in a sense. But all of this allowed Max to finally find out what happened to Rachel and the culprits were ultimately caught and are rotting in jail (If you chose to sacrifice Chloe). The only thing is, if you chose this ending, Chloe dies without knowing the truth. In fact, this all makes sense if you choose to sacrifice arcadia bay but everyone dies.

[@theoneandonlyartyom]

the point of this prequel was to show why chloe was so close to rachel; as max we just know they were close and that's it, character development (this game still kinda fell off, way too rushed development)
