MAX CAULFIELD EASTER EGG! | Life is Strange: Before the Storm (Dream Scene)

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

I know that I read the texts in the wrong order, it was just a mistake on my part, sorry about that.

[@Romero-wy5sd]

no you didn't.

[@anushkasharma992]

Special Agent Romero look at the times the text was sent

[@Romero-wy5sd]

oh yeah you're right sorry.

[@lindsaypeters5667]

Was the backwards time thing maybe alluding to the last episode of the original life is strange when everything was going crazy and things were playing backwards?

[@gcsec8811]

Fucking obnoxious voice you got there mate.

[@riaterzi2826]

Am I the only one that noticed that Max's messages are sent it different timeline??? If you put them correctly they say "When you're dead", "I'm going to meet you real soon", "Don't worry". So this maybe means that after Chloes death in the original game, Max killed herself? I dunno but it really creeped me out

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

Yeah, I understand you. I noticed I read them in the wrong order after I uploaded the video.

[@riaterzi2826]

AlwaysRoomForLuke do you think maybe Max killed herself? It can't be,right?

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

No, I don't think she did.

Ria Terzi holy shit

[@jamesashton2291]

Ria Terzi Max is not died, right? please answer my question

[@MTBR077]

The weird thing about the Max drawing is that she looks like her 18 year old self with the bob cut but the Max that Chloe knows is the kid version with the ponytail so it's kind of just weird that Chloe envisions/sketched Max with a bob cut in her dreams.

[@aifos01]

Yasuhiro Damn you're right.

[@LisaMariaGravity]

There is a photo of Max and Chloe dressed up as pirates and Max has the bob and Chloe has long hair. Not sure when they took that since the last time Chloe had seen her was when they were younger.

[@joaquinmoran2459]

true, but after playing before the storm, that photo does not make much sense

[@kristianwhite1061]

She had the same cut when they were kids probably, she just put it in a ponytail

[@loudic1817]

[@fahidagold1763]

if you look at Max's text the time is backwards so max is saying "when you're dead I'll meet you real soon so don't worry" and with the drawing of adult max hanging on the tree... I personally would say Max committed suicide after she sacrifice Chloe for Arcadia bay...:(

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

That is a brilliant theory. I actualy though something similar at one point.

[@ZoglerRandomiel]

Ι don't think Max would commit suicide. She is a very strong character, she went through a lot and kept on.

[@WhoIsBri69]

Yeah but that choice wouldn’t have anything to do with any sequel because not everybody chose to sacrifice Chloe

[@johnbartholf777]

Sacrificing Chloe at the end of LiS doesn't even register as a legitimate choice.

[@pleasantpeasant7770]

John Bartholf sacrificing Chloe to save the bay is the logical choice

[@alessandrorusso8145]

I saw interesting comments in this video talking about how Max could have committed suicide after Chloe's death. I think it is possible, and I'll add another thing: that drawing of Max on the rope, shows a tree that actually exists in the game: when you stalk people with Rachel, if you go to the couple with the wine, you'll see a wheel on the ground; on that wheel that's exactly the drawing's tree, so Max could have committed suicide just there, after visiting the junkyard.

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

that is very interesting. thank you for sharing your theory 😀

[@diamondfox1178]

We never hear about Max in any of the other games if you sacrifice Chloe. It's either because she has no ties to any of the other characters in those games, or because she can't affect the others with powers, because she killed herself.

[@XKathXgames]

@@diamondfox1178 Hmm, IDK if this is what happened, but might have to explore this in fanfic.

[@nefarious_seraph13]

If you look at the timing of the texts from Max you're actually supposed to read them in reverse.

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

I realized that after I released the video was released, and couldn't be bothered changing it

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

I did not think of that. That could be what they were going for!

[@nefarious_seraph13]

Aldana Aschaira that's correct!

[@devilsora100]

I think it's actually a reference as to how Max will rewind whenever Chloe dies "When you're dead", "I'm going to see you real soon", "Don't worry". As if she's reassuring her that no matter how many times Chloe dies, Max will always make sure that she stays alive

[@evalis23]

stygianempathy omfg

[@EggingPeanut]

I think the "when your dead" is a reference to the original game, since all of the pricefield interaction is technically happening after Chloe gets shot and dies.

[@sngndrs]

Isn't that the tree that Rachel burned? xD

[@shayneslysvester7162]

UsaChan VA hahahaha i think it is?

[@mrcosby173]

The tree with the carvings is at the lighthouse

[@wildyato37]

Well if you know...Rachal was kidnapped in dark room ... When Jefferson was clicking ger photo..(The last moment of LIS : Before Storm)

[@yslvenus]

I think people are taking the meaning of the Easter Eggs the wrong way. If you actually think about the texts, Max is talking about meeting Chloe when she is dead. If you remember, Max meets Chloe again when she gets shot in the toilets by Nathan. The texts are a reference to the first ep of LIS. As for Max hanging on the tree, it could mean that Max is dead to her not necessarily that Max is literally dead

[@wildyato37]

Although my comment doesn't make any sense... This text message was sent during by adult Max who was came to past ..at Farewell episode of LIS..where Max had thrown keys to prevent William use car... Message timeline was back at 2008 where Max was teenager and this is all connected to past-future..

[@VichyGlitterGun]

What if Max never left to Seattle? What if she committed suicide and the hatred and anger we see from Chloe towards Max is because she feels abandoned by Max and her dad. when you play as Max during life is strange, it's actually her journey to the other side and her objective is to save Chloe, in more ways than one. kinda like you left Chloe behind now redeem yourself before crossing over. Arcadia Bay didn't matter to save because it wasn't real in the first place, everything Max goes through for Chloe and having the power she has makes sense. When she goes back in time it's never about changing anything in her life it's Chloe, going back to save Chloe's dad, then change it like it was because Chloe had an accident instead it's all around Chloe. Before moving on she was sent to stop Jefferson's crimes (making Rachel cross over) and to save Chloe. Even tho Max is the protagonist it's not really about her, you can make some difference here and there but Max story is only around the present time or past. the story is around Chloe, Rachel and Jefferson (also Kate, Nathan and Frank) Max is just there altering paths and trying to fix mistakes and bad things. So my theory is that Max is a guardian angel, it's just my theory it would be cool tho Max was there to give Rachel and Chloe peace also herself so she can cross over and redeem her mistakes, she left her friend behind and she was sent to fix it before moving on.

[@reflexhunter5536]

VichyGlitterGun nice

[@VichyGlitterGun]

TRIPIX HD Thanks 😅

[@fernandoramirez1466]

VichyGlitterGun mind fucked could be true

[@VichyGlitterGun]

Fernando Ramirez I just had this thought when I watched the video. It's just it's always surrounded of Chloe and you see Chloe's altered future so it just feels Max came to save Chloe. Even in before the storm in the journal its always Max and Chloe's talking like Max left sudden and she's angry and it seems like Chloe is grieving, she's in denial of her death so in her mind she left for Seattle

[@GoofyAhWizardMan]

This does sound possible, but at the moment, I really don't think it's the case. You do have to remember that some of the only people Chloe had were her mom, dad, and Max. Her best friend leaving her, and never talking to her again would be like death, especially since she had just lost her dad. Plus, if you open up Chloe's phone in LIS:BtS, you see messages between Max and Chloe after Max left for Seattle. I really don't think it's true, but it's a good theory. nonetheless.

[@neimahound]

I took it as a symbol that max is dead to Chloe now. The butterfly is flying offscreen, leaving her behind, and the "MC 2019" I assumed refferred to "Max and Chloe." Chloe is in too much pain to wait for her anymore, and the dream sequence shows her shifting her attentions to Rachel.

[@incotsg]

Fun fact..in the comics, on other reality, max really died on that day and thats why she was able to get into that reality because theres no more max in that other reality.

[@mrpopo5097]

The comics ain’t canon

[@sylas9762]

wait which volume was it from? I know she did come to the other reality but I didn't realize the Max from that reality has died.

[@daniellesantio]

I didn't know that you could look at the journal in her dreams.. I'm going to play it again now

[@pgxi3908]

It's not a journal since Chloe is not that type of person that keeps a journal. It's stated that the stuff she writes on are letters in some sort of notebook.

[@IDyce88]

the diary is used to express Chloe's thoughts in daily life...so maybe in her dream it expresses her fears. cause Chloe does mention in her diary that although she is pissed at max she would take her back in a heartbeat...so maybe the thought of Chloe dying is her fears or her dream state expressing her deepest feelings.

[@pax6996]

I don't really believe Chloe is mad at Max, because of the fact that she left the city, as you suggested a couple of times (for example by saying that "Chloe t h i n k s that Max left her on purpose"). That's not the point. She must have some common sense (unless I'm missing some trivia, most likely from the first LiS if that's the case). I think the main point is that Max completely shut Chloe off. You can check their texts in Before the Storm - Max keeps saying she doesn't have time for messaging or calling if I recall correctly, then stops replying. I believe this is the thing that hurts Chloe the most. You can easily keep in touch, but her best friend just chose to ghost her. Then again, I suppose it might be a matter of point of view and this is not really in any way connected to the easter egg nor the theories, which are a good call, actually. Never noticed the dream journal before.

[@aphoticphoton]

Hence why i chose to let chloe live in LiS because i feel like max has an unofficial debt to chloe for being a dick

[@chocolatebar3468]

I have a theory: I've been seeing lots of theories talking about Rachel having powers and that she is the cause of the tornado due to her "powers" in the prequel. My guess is, Rachel wanted Chloe in life and death so she created the tornado with her powers to kill Chloe so they can be together spiritually. I believe Rachel gave Max a choice, it wasn't mentioned in the game but I think Rachel wanted "Either I kill Chloe so we can be together then I'll save Arcadia Bay, OR I will make everyone suffer with this tornado if you choose to let Chloe live instead of being with me." Those who chose to sacrifice Chloe, Rachel was the doe and Chloe was the blue butterfly, and they were together at last in death. For those who wanted Chloe to live, Rachel raged and destroyed Arcadia Bay for that reason and because of what she went through when she was alive. So if you chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay, even though Max is a pretty determined character, I'm sure she would feel a lot of rough emotions of what she chose thus leading her to kill herself, and if she did, then Chloe would most likely kill herself as well since she'd be left alone thus again, leading her going to Rachel so that way Rachel wouldn't have to deal with Max rewinding the situation. Y'know the real reason why in the beginning of Life Is Strange Max had a vision of the storm was probably Rachel giving her that vision letting her know "You have a few days to live, this is what's gonna happen, and in the future you'll see the choices I'll give you. I'll let you stay with Chloe in that time while your living. Better choose wisely" and with that Max woke up. She recieved rewind powers because when Chloe was about to die because of Nathan, Rachel (the butterfly in the bathroom) could have gave her that power so Chloe wouldn't die that way, instead dying in the tornado. ......and this is pretty much my theory of what happened.

[@MuriloNovellino88]

Hey i am here to tell, you are incorrect theory, in lis 2 you xan see david in a call with max and chloe xd

[@fara.r.8181]

IF you chose to save chloe/sacrifice Arcadia. How about if you save Arcadia/sacrifice Chloe? The poster might have a legit theory on to that

[@racecarthedestroyer7192]

this, actually makes a lot of sense

[@pepe4707]

Wow, that’s a very interesting yet dark theory. I have a theory as well that I’d like to share, my theory is is that I don’t think Rachel died. Sure, everyone saw her in the “dark room” aka Jefferson’s basement and it did seem like she died, but I think that after she was done modeling for him, she just left Arcadia Bay without even telling anyone. Maybe she got away with it and MAYBE, just maybe, it was actually Nathan who we saw buried in the ground in the junk yard in the first game. If you look closely at it, it looks a lot like his jacket and also I remember at the vortex club party Victoria was there and I think Max asked where Nathan was bc she couldn’t find him anywhere and Victoria said something along the lines of “the last time I saw him he went back stage with Mr.Jefferson and hasn’t come back ever since” after that we don’t see Nathan literally anywhere in the game, which proves my point. Nathan was the one that Mark Jefferson buried in the ground, not Rachel. Therefore, I’m assuming that Rachel moved to Los Angeles or New York (not sure which one bc she always said she wanted to visit NYC but her and Chloe wanted to live in LA) anyways like I was saying, Rachel probably moved away without Chloe bc maybe she didn’t have much time left to bring Chloe with her so she just ditched her. Now the power part, yes I agree with that. When I saw that scene of Rachel screaming at the top of her lungs, there was this detail that the developers of the game put in. It was like a swoosh of wind (or air idk) and that detail looked very similar to the details that were in the storm in the first game. I feel as if the developers did that on purpose to show that maybe Rachel was the one that caused the storm. I think Rachel *did* have a power, and yes I also agree that Rachel gave Max her rewind powers to save Chloe. Maybe the storm was a sign from her indicating that Rachel missed Chloe and that she wanted her to come with her. Again, that was just my theory. Sometimes I really wish it was real though because it does make quite a lot of sense, unlike the story behind Rachel’s “death”. Also sorry if that was too long haha I get really excited when I have a theory to share. But yeah like I said in the beginning, your theory is very interesting.

1:22 - So, what this pic is telling me is, that if you sacrifice Chloe at the end of the main game, Max commits suicide? If so. Man, that's dark.

If what I said at the beginning of this comment is true. 😬

[@DrAyan_m]

@@meplayzresidentevil3214 i just had the same thought. I think thats what it is foreshadowing. As the texts soon after hints that next time max will meet her she will be dead. The reasons for he suicide can be isolation, unable to share her trauma of the dark room, the nightmare or the loss of chloe to anyone as that would make her sound crazy. All that would just make her kate marsh 2.0. She is just 18 afterall. Would be too much for her

[@tianakashtro1048]

I think so cause if you think about it maybe Chloe dies anyway after the storm when they leave together so Max commit suicide to be with her and realize it’s the only way to save her

The fact that this and the text messages sent in different order (time reversing?) and Max saying she'd meet Chloe again when she's dead... ominous, to say the least. Past Chloe has no idea of what'll happen to her future yet. I wonder if William was influencing her dreams actively, giving those creepy signs (maybe he's pissed Max let him die lol)

If you read the text messages, the time stamps are backwards, it actually says "When you're dead I'm going to see you real soon don't worry" and in Life is Strage, Chloe JUST died when Max seen her and she turns back time and saves her. So literally if she never got that power... she would have been straight up reunited after Chloe died.

[@nicatine]

If all of that were true then yikes! That makes the Bay ending more sad, because not only you save the people and bring justice for Chloe and Rachel - But two of the game's main leads dies in this ending together. I don't want to think Max commits suicide in this ending. We have to remember that she's only 18 years old and she has a whole life ahead of her to meet someone new to have a strong connection with like she had with Chloe. I think people are forgetting that in real life, sometimes childhood friends don't last long, high school friends don't last long, and heck even relationships and marriages don't last long either. I don't know why this fandom thinks Max only needs Chloe in her life...I get that she loves her a lot, but that's what it's only shown in the game and nothing else. We don't know if their relationship will last longer in the aftermath. But both endings provide a lot of hope for Max and/or Chloe. Yes, there are a lot of journal written about Max's love for Chloe but you have to realize that it's normal for teenagers to show a lot of unconditional love for that person, but you may never know if it'll last longer or not, depending on how healthy the relationship is.

0:38 Yes defiantly her..Her hairstyle,the instant camera ..The date you mention 2009-1-26 can be the date when she left(Since her birthday was at 15th September she was still 13) ...So maybe she reversed the time amd hung herself .. But also 1)Why she reversed at specific time to kill herself 2)Max is stupid..The tornado event was not mystical..it was natural..(When innSan Fransisco timeline *she didn't use her powers at start..and capture Mr Jefferson and others but at end in the call Chloe mentioned ,Arcadia by was captured in a Huge Tornado ..this proves everything* ) 2:48 Chloe wasnt thinking this.. If you watch the message timestamp the date mentioned is *21/6/2008* .. This was the exact time.of Farwwell episode when both girls were in age of 13-14 selfs. Since it was daydream at Chloe end..The game.had already hinted about ..Max will got time travel powers.. Remember at LiS1 where Max was main character..and she was gazing her old selfs childhood photograph...and *accidentally Interfere at past Max's body* ... She even Said "I am 18 year old in 13 self".. The message and time era was around 2008 where adult max written these messages to Chloe..(In 13 year self)...*Also at that time William was finding car keys..*

[@nicatine]

@@wildyato37 Ngl, I forgot I commented on this video a year ago, my interests in this franchise has already died out since I've moved on to different tastes.😂 But I still appreciate your feedback though on what you think about Max in this particular ending, well written.^^

[@moobee6]

I think if I were Max, after Chloe’s sacrifice I would kill my self too. Think about the greif and guilt of letting Chloe dying thinking that both Rachel and Max abbandoned her. All the things they’ve been through never really existed. Seeing your lover getting killed over and over, being kidnapped and tortured by your professor, the trauma of that week, and you couldn’t even talk about it with someone BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPEND. God, I would never be able to get over all of this. That’s why I think it’s a plausable theory, and that’s why i’ll always save Chloe, at least Max has someone by her side who knows what she’ve been through. This is not only about love or frienship, it’s about human feelings.

[@dunnworth9736]

True ending of the first game to me is when you have to let her die to save arcadia bay. when she says ill see you when youre dead, she actually does when nathan shoots her(the first time max sees her) And when she said real soon, it was real soon!

[@Lyra556]

Developers themselves said both endings are true endings

[@dunnworth9736]

committing genocide for a true ending? gtfo

[@dunnworth9736]

well the sjw devs dont know shit. they would say both endings are true to please the liberal pussies

[@chuggon7595]

Josh Dunn i don't think you know what genocide means

[@maxclfld4606]

Ingrid Lorena ok but there is a real story with a right ending, because how you can see, I am going to give you an example, on Before the storm when you are with Rachel outside and it’s snowing, you have the choose to choose to Rachel : take the bracelet, do her a star tattoo or kiss her. The real was the tattoo because on LiS if you read a missing paper or Rachel you will see that on the description of her, there is write : star tattoo. So it’s was the "right" choice

[@anabelorden9396]

The MC could also stand for max and Chloe. And when you look at the time of max' texts then you see that they are 'counting backwards'. Like a hint to her powers. Like going back in time.

[@wildyato37]

[@ashkhri]

No i think chloe thinks max is dead. This could be because she thinks every one will leave her which is represented by dying.(in her psyche)

[@bafford7518]

I noticed something strange in the video by the way, those imaginary Max texts. If you pay attention, the messages are sent in the opposite way somehow, look at their time... It starts from 11:55 to 11:57, what that actually means? I have no idea... Maybe it goes in sync with what Chloe says when talking with William and Max replies in a way that fits and hints at stuff Or... Just need to interpret it somehow backwards :P

[@meg_umi2128]

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but on the messages that max sent in the dream are in the wrong order cause if you look at the times some are different the way it should actually go is: Don't worry, when your dead, I'll be seeing you real soon. Which I think symbolises that max will find Chloe dead/ brink of death aka the first game (life is strange)

[@mohammedkhalil655]

wow you're incredible i never notice it

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

Thank you dude, that means a lot to me 🙂

[@sabrinatomkins9511]

IT'S NOT A DEER IT'S A DOE

[@caseyh8386]

OK well a Doe is a Deer. I get that you're trying to point out that it says "Jane Doe" though

[@nimwits6417]

Same thing.

[@cpypcy]

Isn't doe a female deer?

[@HellBrat]

Bruh...

[@Leludar]

Damn that's creepy. The text could be referring to when Max meets Chloe again in the bathroom, and Chloe gets killed.

[@Wasted117.]

The canon ending is max saving Chloe and sacrificing Arcadia bay. Legit the whole of lis is max saving Chloe and saying she will never leave her again. Personally that's what I think max would choose if you follow her speech throughout the game

[@katastrofygames]

But Max didn’t leave in 09. She left in 08 when Chloe and Max were 13. In before the storm the date is 2010 where Chloe is 15.

[@zerusspecial6615]

MC Kaatt Chloe is 1 year older Than Max. (Max really left in 2008 though.)

[@sarunauzumaki8079]

Die Textnachricht stimmt sogar. Max hat Chloe wiedergesehen,als sie von Nathan erschossen worden ist. 😖

[@lifeisstrangeeastereggsand5968]

there's also a easter egg in the first dream can confirm. i have a video on my channel where i show it, if you're curious about it. tho i havent seen many people who found out abouit this easteregg themselves so good find to you!

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

Thank you dude. It is very interesting easter egg

[@vi_nay]

I believe in my girl , she will never going to do such a stupid thing

[@Jtmissile]

I made the mistake watching this late at night

[@Monika-ph9uu]

Same I’m terrified

[@danahi1808]

You can tell the text is : When you're dead. I'm going to see you real soon. Dont worry". Because of the time

[@davejnathan10]

Max hanging with butterfly beside her? Does chloe sees the future? I mean that is the future max with the blue butterfly that shouldn't even existed yet right? (Just a theory) "When you're dead, im going to see you real soon. Dont worry." Sounded like what max said in her heart while watching chloe being killed by nathan in sacri-chloe ending.

[@ash5986]

I think the text that max sent is the time was chloe is getting shot by nathan and it was right

[@wildyato37]

She didnt did in purpose.. there is logical explanation behind this ...Let me explain what happened.. First you guys need to know each student DOB..Max DOB is September21 1995..(You can get Each DOB of students at time when you break in Wells office and search the Students information files at cupboard ,Kate Marsh file also out at desk) 2) In LIS BTS the real time Flow ..When Chloe texting to Max it was 2009-2010 ..but that time Chloe was around 16 year old ..At this time Max already leave Arcadia bay to Seattle cuase of father's job settlement.. 3) This dream in it the phone tells about Max text as year 2008 with backward timing..If you note a thing 2008-1995=13 ..At that time she was trying to cinfess Chloe that she was leaving her forever to Seattle..(IF you play or stream Farewell Chapter of LIS:BTS) ,but this timeline Max doesn't aware of her powers so it can't be her to say like this during this duration.. 4)Unless If you remembered more William took picture of Both girls ..before Farewell..This 18 years old Max is still carrying the Same photo in her dairy... She was able to go back at that time when the photo was captured.. At that time she was enough shocked saying that "I am 18 year old in *13 year* self " 😂 This time it is possible that she tried to warn or comforting Chloe but the question is how didn't this message appear in 14 year old Chloe...itself during William timeline.. also *if you notice about Joyce message it was year 2008 talking about david ..Seems they know each other very well then married or something not right cuase she can't be just a punk within a month when she was 14 years old* It seems this crow in the video holds the answer ...

[@selizaa]

THE TEXT ONE HAD ME SHOOK. BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER WHEN MAX INTERACTS WITH CHLOE IS WHEN SHE SEES CHLOE GET SHOT BY NATHAN. WHEN SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE. HOW DID I GLOSS OVER THIS.

[@soljahscar808]

The first picture you actually take is a selfie of max in mr. Jeffersons class

[@darklife1989]

Max is a timetraveller

[@Uppy21]

I don't like this easter egg...it's a bit mean-spirited. Like, I get Chloe was mad at Max for leaving and not keeping in contact -- But drawing her like this, isn't cool, even if it was in a dream. The whole "Max is dead to me" is too extreme, I know Max hurt Chloe but hating Max to the point of wanting her dead, not caring if she killed herself or if she died, wrecks their friendship and relationship for me. Makes me realize how angry she was at Max and how it bordered hatred. It could be said she's scared of her dying, but why draw her that way? It'd make more sense to have a dream about Max and have her get run over by something if they wanted to convey her fear of losing Max like she did her dad. Or setting something up that gives Chloe the idea that she'd lose Max forever. (Like a character in a movie or book reminds her of Max and they hanged themselves) Perhaps, it does have other meanings, maybe after Chloe's death, Max attempts suicide? Which connects to the texts, but I don't know...This Easter Egg is just a little too morbid, and seems unnecessary to me.

[@luo__________]

What a bloody nightmare!

[@dabdabthethird2410]

1:47 it’s really sad and interesting how in the far right we see a drawing Chloe did of max, she looks so mean/confident

[@ThaNiiebuhr]

On the first easter egg considering the text msgs in game are sent in 2010 i dont think 1.26.09 is when max left since she left arcadia bay before chloes dad died. then again it cant be the date her dad died(?) cause they say that he died 2 years ago. Strange. I cant really connect the dates. But im leaning to the fact that its her dads death date.

[@rohancowley8669]

Her shirt says "jane doe" john doe is an unidentified corpse.. this game just keeps getting creepier.. bloody awesome though

[@caulfieldsimper]

I have a theory max killed herself that's why she's not responding and texts may indicate that lis1 never happened or it happened in afterlife i know that's a stretch but like how did max get the time travel powers? why does she have her visions ? Why wasn't max msging chloe then suddenly being bf's? I just think max killed herself bcs she missed chloe and the lis 1 is happening in chloe's dream or in afterlife (the afterlife path also makes more sense since max text's you those mges) btw if someone spot anything more with evidence or some counter argumets please just respond Edit: i saw comment that said that max killed herself after lis 1 bcs chloe died and that makes sense bcs she has the iconic deer shirt. And also the text are from 9/28/2008 and if u know max left 1/20.2009. Which MAY indicate that the "dream" is another timeline and MAYBE chloe is traveling thru dimensions and/or thru time. Btw i don't mean this is true im just speculating just bcs i have to get this dark and sad theory out of me. Another edit lol: the msges arive at different times so it actually spells When you're dead I'm going to see you real soon. Don't worry Another thing is that the tree she is hanging on is aparently the tree that is at the light house. So this really supports the theory that max killed herself after lis 1 BUT we see max go to chloe's funeral so that would mean 1. It's just a dream or and afterlife 2. She killed herself after the funeral Also there's the iconic buterfly. I don't really know what this could point out but ill think about it ill probably do another update when i find another thing also the thing about im going to see you real soon MAYBE means that max is returning time again and again and again to save chloe in lis 1 but that doesn't make sense bcs at least what the picture is displaying max comitted suicide so there's that. I just found out that the tree really lookes like the one that rachel burns later i compared it and it looks like the one

[@mochiloading]

Really late but... I think that the last oe with the text message is an easter egg because Max does first meet Chloe when she gets shot by Nathan(this is when you figure out you have rewind powers in the girls bathroom).

[@wildyato37]

0:38 Yes defiantly her..Her hairstyle,the instant camera ..The date you mention 2009-1-26 can be the date when she left(Since her birthday was at 15th September she was still 13) ...So maybe she reversed the time amd hung herself ..

[@J-meh2102]

Second photo actually, the photo with the butterfly is the second photo we take, the first photo we ever take in the game is a selfie

[@totolamenace7472]

For me Chloé have power to see some élémente from Future

[@funnybones9538]

The only depressing thing I could speculate that this grim easter egg gave us the context of what happened after Max sacrificed Chloe in the first game, assuming that's she smiled in the end of the first game ending. Means, she killed herself after Chloe died. This theory could be true and it broke me.

[@kam2611]

I actually say at night i love rachel and chloe but chloe her life is so messed up her dad dies her best friend leaves at the worst time then she loses rachel for six months dies and comes back and then she finds out rachel died dies again by jefferson and then she might die depends on what the player picks it so messed up and makes me cry you know i played all the life is stranges but i used to hate this one bc of the start of the first ep was boring so i brung it back and i got it back played the whole game and now i cant stop playing it i used to be so crazy abt the first one and then i played this one and now it depresses me everyday seeing how so messed up your life can be.and u dont k ow how bad i wanted more episodes of this it was so good life is strange is the best and i cant wait for ep 3 lis2 may 9th 2019

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

i have played all the life is strange games a lot, life is strange is definitely in my top 5 games of all time! I am also super excited for the third episode in may.

[@raisin4406]

“I gently open the door..”

[@Madaje]

Dokie dokie ~

[@bestrafung2754]

I wonder why they added this. I couldn't see Max killing herself.

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

I find it strange too because I don't see her doing it either

[@TheYellowShirtThing]

Maybe in that dream Max was hung because in the dream everything is already strange because it’s another dream with William dying so I think i see why they put that there 1 so it’s creepy and because it’s a Max Easter egg

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

I never thought of that. that is a good and possible reason.

[@raylast3873]

Incidentally, the next time they meet, Chloe is shot. So Max will see her when she's dead.

[@Kira-zy2ro]

The date seems odd as nothing can be found at the date january 26 2009, not in chloe's texts, not in her diary and max left in 2008. Max and chloe had text exchanges long after that. I did some research and if we check in chloe's texts the last contact with Max was 11/28/2009 Where max proposes to phone "this weekend" Now, my theory has a small flaw, because 11/28/2009 was a saturday and "this weekend" should theoretically include the same day or the day after. I think that is an error and they intended max to mean "next weekend" as the next sunday was dec 6 2009, which could be accurate if we read the tree inscription as 12-6-09 instead of 1-26-09 Maybe it is an indication that Chloe takes that date as the end of hope for any further contact with Max as another promise was broken. All her texts after that go unanswered by Max, perhaps making her feel their friendship has died at dec 6 2009. Alternatively, as there is a lot of "clutter" around the date, what seems to be a 1 could just be a scratch or crease in the bark and the 6 could actually just be a 0 messed up by other lines... in that case the date could simply be "2009" Lovely, these games, keep you guessing at details for decades ^^

[@fruityt0otie]

this is so creepy. The drawing reminds me of sayori from doki doki with the haircut and everything.

[@capkid9978]

i don't understad why on life is strange site there is a anti-suicide help

[@a2c228]

Lol. The shirt isn’t just a shirt that has a deer and says Jane. It is Jane “doe”

[@AddisonRoden]

William died in 2008, and Max left on the day of his funeral. It’s on his gravestone during his funeral scene

[@Humanistic_]

Thats the same tree from the overlook in before the storm

[@vdochev]

On her shirt is a doe (a female antelope). So it reads JANE "DOE".

[@Jeremiah1647]

I’m checking this now in collector mode

[@batgh0ul]

Wow, that's creepy. I need to replay this game, I missed a lot of stuff.

[@chadzelda1]

Dang two playthroughs and i didn't notice

[@AlwaysLukeVT]

chadzelda1 Don't worry, it took me a while to notice it aswell

[@jakobkramer]

The animal on Max' T-shirt is not a deer, but a doe. As in "Jane Doe".

[@POWCHEWAH]

all it means is that in this dream Max is dead, that's how she going to see her soon, if she she dies, they're both dead

[@TacoBoyJr]

Thats def max lmao, the fit alone gives it away.

[@FromTheWombTotheGrave]

Now I know 5 years later, had no idea about thsi

[@tvela595]

So, why is the time backwards? Or is that simply how the messages are displayed. Either way, very interesting

[@munkayttaja6913]

Max left to Seattle in spetember 2008 and Those text were sent in June 2008 so what the hell!? it can't be that chole is mad at max for leaving so...?

[@estheramaral1323]

Chloe would never draw such a thing, she loves Max even though she left her. So it is not a symbolism showing Chloe feelings towards Max, I think it might be Max feelings towards Chloe's death.

[@whoopsdidntmeanto]

Or maybe Chloe has a power too? Maybe she's a seer. I think all this is hinting towards her actually having a gift like Rachel and max. When she was dreaming of her dad showing her the sky with all the stars and stuff, she later found a little dome projector thing in Rachel's room that displayed that exact galaxy sky looking thing that she saw in the dream. And the text from max in the BTS dream scene, if you read it backwards it says "When your dead I'm going to see you real soon, don't worry." And then in LIS , how max reunites with Chloe after like 8 years is seeing her get shot and die. What the heck?! That's just creepy first of all.. and I also think that in the dream scene with the forest fire, I think that might have happened before Rachel started the fire. If it didn't feel free to correct me, but I DO know for SURE that the scene in the car where Rachel was surrounded by fire, that dream happened before she started the forest fire... If anyone else has more evidence to add on to this let me know. I seriously think Chloe has the power to see the future through her dreams after going through all of these scenes. I think either the devs are subtly hinting at her having a power and leaving it to us to figure out the puzzle, or it's just spoilers and foreshadowing. Really not sure.. this game is dark, mysterious, twisted and confusing. absolutely love it though

[@DanDCool]

1:19 Maybe 2001 when she was born Nvm the game was like 2015 and they were in college or something

[@openmindedgoldencage1698]

Yes, it´s nice like everyone admires the true friendship/or love of Chloe and Max (until the death...), but did you notice the text in diary how Chloe talks about Max? It´s crazy, and I don´t care that she lost her father, Chloe is not the center of the universe. If she really cared about her friendship with Max, she should have gone to Seattle to find out what was going on instead of called Max as "artsy motherfucker"- really, nice true friendship. We don't know what Max was doing at the time, what she was experiencing. Maybe she was going through something herself as well.

[@prettydiamond5241]

That's a crazy drawing of her. She must go through alot.🤔

[@livelaughlovelev]

its also the tree that rachel yk like burns down the tree
