Review: Life is Strange: The Arcadia Bay Collection
At the end of the day, it’s tough to recommend Life is Strange: The Arcadia Bay Collection as it is near launch. It’s easily the worst-possible way to experience two classic games and not in small ways. The dramatic drop-off in texture quality and abundance of texture pop-in hurts the experience, as do long loading times. The foundation of what made the games so great is still present, but hampered.

Max and Chloe sequel idea. Life Is Strange:Stormbreaker
So my big idea for this sequel is to tie up loose ends, Max saves everyone from Chloe, Arcadia Bay and Rachel.
Before you play the game you are given a choice to input the choices you made in LIS.
Episode 1. It starts off with Max and Chloe having this slice of life moment. You do a task, look for something for Chloe to fix up the RV and they share a loving moment. Then suddenly. the sky grows dark. The storm is back. On the run, several segments of trying to outrun the storm, but it ends with Chloe dying and Max's powers going out of control. And suddenly. Max is back to where it all started, October 7th 2013.
Episode 2. Max is wondering "why am I back here? WHY???" She's trying desperately to get back to where she was with Chloe and to save her. So you as Max have to get through the five episodes of Life Is Strange to make the same choices. Sounds simple right? Wrong. Max completes the hellish week, gets back to Chloe and the Storm is still there and lands back where she was.
Episode 3. Suddenly Max notices things she hasn't before. Missing variables that weren't there. Nathan learning about the storm. Sean Prescott's larger involvement and the Prescotts gentrifying the Native American land of Arcadia Bay. This time Max tries to finish the story as it was originally intended with the Prescotts and Jefferson exposed and Chloe landing in the hospital. Only problem the storm still arrives. The week begins again.
Episode 4. Max is in a time loop and she is trying everything to save Chloe and even the town. This might be why she was brought back to the worst week of her life. She wants to try and save everyone. At one point she succeeds. Problem is it starts over again and she gets a nightmare to give her a clue. Rachel. She's in this nightmare because she has to save Rachel.
Episode 5. Half the episode would be Max talking to Rachel and learning about the events leading Rachel to the Dark Room. Max learns that Rachel had powers just like her. She could manipulate the weather around her. One incident she unintentionally caused an unstoppable wildfire. With Chloe, she quelled almost all of Rachel's violent storms. Then she was desperate to escape Arcadia Bay. There was something wrong with this town. Everyone knows everyone's secrets. The Vortex Club is the worst collection of scumbags when it used to be cool. Her parents lied to her for her whole life. The Prescotts own everything and everything gets buried and they are destroying the land. And all she had was Chloe, and for a while that's all she needed, but she needed to get out. She had to get out because it's throwing her powers out of balance and if left unchecked, Rachel could kill everyone and she did not want that to happen. She tried everything to escape. Coming up with schemes with Chloe. Using Frank until they can escape and then Jefferson happened. She confirms she did not love either man. She was groomed by two predators. She was still a child and was taken advantage by men twice her age. Then she discovered the dark room. At first it started as a "real modeling opportunity" to be photographed by a professional. It's only after Rachel looked at her binder. There were no photos. Then Rachel looked at the other albums. 19 young woman drugged, posed and all shown dead by the end of their session. Rachel planned on telling the truth, but Jefferson had cameras everywhere. “Not like Rachel, who was always looking in the wrong places. Poor Rachel.” Jefferson drugged, raped and killed Rachel Amber and posed Nathan to frame him. In her violent and disgusting death, Rachel created the storm. In her last attempt to save Chloe, Rachel's spirit turned into the Doe to guide Max throughout her journey. Max mostly succeeded, but all this could not be undone without undoing Rachel's death.
Max promises Rachel she is going to save her.
Max uses the photo of the day she took of herself the moment she came to Seattle(she definitely has one, this girl is obsessed with photography) Max uses it to stay into contact with Chloe. Max warns Kate to stay away from the Vortex Club. Max begins to make everything right. Warning Kate to stay away from the Vortex Club. Warning Victoria to make better choices and telling Nathan that he doesn't have to be molded into what his father wants him to be and he doesn't need to help Jefferson commit the murders. Eventually, Max sends evidence to David about where Rachel is. David busts in and arrests Jefferson, while Chloe unties Rachel, hugs and kisses her.
Mark Jefferson is brought to justice. The Prescott Foundation is shut down and Sean Prescott is imprisoned. Nathan gets therapy without Sean interfering with his mental health, Frank is busted for selling drugs to minors and the Vortex Club reforms into a better club. All is well in Arcadia Bay.
True Colors esque montage:Max, Chloe and Rachel friendship montage in the junkyard. "Max was here" breakfast time in Two Whales. Chilling in Chloe's room and just being super hella best friends and all three of them kissing each other.
Max Going Ape with Warren while Chloe and Rachel are there as "supervising chaperones" Max and Kate having tea dates. Max and Victoria doing photoshoot and shopping dates, Chloe and Rachel introduces Max to Steph, all 4 of them plays a DnD together.
Seeing Max, Chloe, Rachel, Kate, Warren, Steph, and Victoria hanging out and just living life.
And closes on Max, Chloe and Rachel driving off to the rainbow and heading towards Los Angeles.

forever might be short (pricefield drabble collection)
Originally posted on AO3 as part of the International Fanworks Day challenge 2024.
Summary: Max saves Chloe and they leave the bay behind, but what happens after ten months? And ten years? And all the in betweens? Ten drabbles about love, loss, healing and learning how to navigate life together, in honor of International Fanworks Day 10th anniversary.
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Category: F/F
Fandom: Life is Strange (Video Game)
Relationship: Maxine "Max" Caulfield/Chloe Price
1. ten months
They haven't lost the ability to smile, but they don't laugh the way they used to.
When it happens, ten months after the storm, it's random, spontaneous.
Max scrolls Netflix, Chloe is looking at her phone. Then, she reads something. Her eyes light up. She grins like an ass.
"Hey, Max?"
"Yeah?"
"What’s the difference between a casual dinner party and a pirate orgy? The first one you come as you are… The other you ARR as you come!"
When Ryan and Vanessa come home they find them rolling on the couch, kicking each other, eyes watery, breathless with laughter.
2. the fury in your head
Max lets Chloe die, but the storm still comes.
She's in the lighthouse, screaming at it.
"Didn't you get what you wanted?! I did what you asked of me! Why is this happening? What more do you want from me?!"
The hurricane roars and Max wakes up.
Chloe's arms engulf her in an instant, "It's okay. You're safe. We're in Seattle. I'm here."
Chloe never pushes her to share, she wants to spare her the pain. She imagines Max dreams about the innocent lives lost, the sorrow, the guilt.
But Max's nightmares are about one thing only: not choosing Chloe.
3. (finally see) what it means to be living
It takes them more than a year to find their footing, but it's bliss when it finally comes.
They get an apartment. Max goes back to school, and Chloe enrolls in an Associate in Computer Science program in community college.
They work most weekends, even though Ryan and Vanessa are helping them out. They even get a compensation from the Arcadia Bay Victims Relief Fund. Chloe calls it blood money. But they take it, because they need all the help they can get.
Still, their routine is hard. Seattle is always rainy. They study, they work, they get by. Together.
4. awake, dear heart…
They share a bed, so they technically sleep together, but they're not together.
There are lingering touches, light kisses and even pecks on the lips, but they haven't done anything else. They haven't talked about it. They're both just so utterly afraid of messing up what they have.
Max finds a note in Chloe's pocket when she's doing laundry. It reads: My offer still stands. Call me? Erika xoxo. There's a phone number. She folds it and then leaves it on Chloe's nightstand.
When Chloe finds it, she doesn't say anything, but Max watches her throw it in the trash.
5. ...awake
"Chloe? You know you don't have to stay with me, right? You don't owe me anything."
It's Christmas Eve. 11 AM. They agreed to sleep in before they drive to Max's parents.
Chloe immediately sits up on the bed and looks at her with so much concern you'd think Max's nose is bleeding.
"What the fuck? Where did that come from?"
Max grimaces, refrains the urge to cry, "It's just… sometimes… I wonder if—"
Chloe puts a finger over her lips, ever so gently. Then, she kisses her, deeply, intentionally. It's a statement.
When they part, Max wonders no more.
6. worship in the bedroom
They lie naked on a warm June morning, limbs intertwined, bodies sweating, hearts beating loudly.
"Damn, you're hardcore, Max," Chloe grins like an idiot.
"So I’ve been told," Max can't help a little proud smile.
They chuckle together, and enjoy the silence. It's not really silence – a Hozier song is coming from the speakers, and birds sing under their window.
"One of these days, Caulfield…" Chloe whispers absentmindedly.
"What?"
She doesn't answer. She pulls Max closer and replies only in her mind.
One of these days I'm gonna ask you to marry me. Not today, but one of these days.
7. (remember) to let her under your skin
They end up in New York because Max gets a scholarship there, thanks to her impressive portfolio. Her photos and her name are connected to Arcadia Bay and, painful as that is, it opens many doors for her. She wishes it wasn't like that, but… it's the blood money check situation all over again.
HBO did a documentary series, so everybody in class knows everything.
Well, not everything.
But they whisper — she hears words like survivor, so tragic, Jefferson...
It used to bother her. Yet, with each passing day coming home to Chloe, the pain seems to simply drift away.
8. the pleasure, the privilege is mine
It's Chloe's birthday.
Max plans the perfect party with their New York friends. They Skype Max's parents, David and Kate. Chloe drinks, laughs, cries. They eat cake. It's fun, and it ends with their apartment ruined.
Afterwards, they sit together on the couch, spent, heads touching.
"Thank you for today, babe," Chloe says softly as she looks at their intertwined hands. "For a girl that should be dead, turning 25 is kinda wild…"
Max gazes at her with sheer devotion, "I love you so much."
The smile that Chloe gives her might have the power to stop time, "I know."
9. this is now
After the pandemic (they'll always wonder if somewhere, someone was using some cursed, forbidden power), Chloe burns out. She quits her job as IT specialist in some big pharma company, and starts freelancing as a graphic designer. That year, Max hits 200k followers on Instagram. She signs a photobook deal. Chloe designs the cover. It's a wild success.
So Chloe spins Max in her arms one Friday afternoon, and blurts out, "Max, I think we're ready. We've been talking about it, let's just do it!"
Max laughs, nods.
They lock eyes, and yell it in unison, "Let's get a dog!"
10. ten years
Chloe's making spaghetti — her long, honey-blonde hair up in a messy bun, her arm tattoo covered in black ink. Max's watching her work, sitting at the kitchen island, playing with the white gold band in her ring finger. Deckard, their Labrador, sits at her feet.
They're talking about their day, complaining about shit, making plans.
There's three candles by the window: one for Rachel, one for Joyce, one for all the others. Today's the anniversary, but it doesn't get to them anymore.
Life's weird, thrilling, also boring at times.
It's good too.
They made it. And they will be okay.
THE END

humanity is worth loving, humans are worth saving
(yes we are. we absolutely are. and cynicism and nihilism is lame)
i was dwelling a lot on that idea a lot this afternoon about my views of humanity and my conviction in us, inspired by the central theme of the show and movies, which is that maybe loneliness and yearning for connection is the most human possible feeling, and that most human beings are to some level closed off from human connection that there's a hedgehog's dilemma among humanity — that fear of connection, fear of being seen as a mirror of what you most fear about yourself/fear of hurt from both vulnerability placed in others and the inevitability of change/the inherent inability to ever be truly known when human minds are fundamentally separated from each other — is inherent to humans
so to contextualize the rest of this post i’ll describe things i’d been thinking about today. evangelion rebuild 2.0 and the ending of that movie, the choice that the characters make there. the ending of life is strange and the choice that you make there (i said fuck arcadia bay). and then the mirror examples, that one episode of angel where angel becomes human, or the ending of final fantasy x. every piece of fiction where people face a choice between saving someone they love and saving the world and they say fuck the world. even when it makes no sense and even if it means they and you both will die soon enough in a destroyed world anyway, even when it’s morally indefensible and unquestionably selfish. every time that question comes up, it’s so obvious what the right answer *should* be, but how human is it to just choose wrong anyway? that’s what i did when i had to choose and i said fuck arcadia bay. at that moment i felt such a sense of connection with what it meant to be human
in the original neon genesis evangelion it’s an argument between a worldview that it’s the inherent flaw of human nature, which would mean that the ideal vision of heaven is all-as-one where all humans exist together in kind of a hivemind free-flowing soup of minds (or with how little we know ourselves, that maybe even worldview is just being so afraid of connection that you’re afraid to reach out and try unless it’s with the safety of it being complete and universal and inescapable)… or whether what is special about humans and the most human thing possible is humans choosing, with full knowledge of the fear and hurt and inability to ever be known and the inevitability of change with passage of time and death, to put fear aside and connect with others
that latter view has long been the frame of thought where i feel most tender and optimistic toward humanity and individual human beings as creatures of grace. what takes away times where i feel jaded or cynical or fatalistic or disgusted or hopeless, which it is easy to be. often when people talk about being proud of humanity is pride at collective humanity and amazed at what the human race could achieve working together, but that’s barely part of the equation for me. it’s just that one single core aspect of the human soul, that every day humans choose to put aside all that fear about things that are right to fear and just choose human connection anyway. better to have loved and lost than never loved at all isn’t a platitude or an expression, it’s a summation of the most fundamental element to being human — its just that it’s not only about romance, it’s about all love — for friends, family, children, pets, characters in fiction, music made by others, art created by others, memories with others
(this made me google that phrase, to learn more about this phrase that puts the deepest truth about being human into 13 words, and turns out it’s by tennyson writing about the sudden death from a cerebral haemorrhage of his friend— or maybe more, we don’t know, but it’s besides the point that it was someone that he loved dearly — arthur henry hallam, who died aged 22 when tennyson was 23. and it’s a line from a 2,916-line, 133-canto poem titled “in memoriam a.h.h.” that he spent 16 years writing. 16 years where the pain didn’t stop. they met each other as teenagers, knew each other for about 3 years, and that was it. when he finished that poem after 16 years, he’d lived almost half of his life with that pain. he’d lived with that loss for almost five times longer than the time he’d had with him. and he still felt it was all worth it. it was better to have had the honour and privilege to feel that love, even at the price of decades of pain, than it would’ve been if he’d never gotten to feel that love at all)
caring about anyone is opening yourself up to a world of hurt in so many ways outside your control and humans are the only beings we know of that actually has that knowledge but we choose to care anyway. we have children, we attach to family, we form friendships, we fall in love, we even get emotionally attached to pets with short lifespans and emotionally invested in fictional characters
animals don’t have that knowledge. it’s easy for me to imagine many rational beings or sentience that could have that knowledge and optimize toward the pain-minimizing path of closing off completely and dying off in a generation. if pain is the price we pay for the ability to live and feel things and love things, is the price of entry worth it at all? i think most versions of a fully realized consciousness that wasn’t human would think that it wasn’t worth it at all. nonexistence over pain feels rational. but we don’t make that choice. human beings choose over and over and over to love things. and when i think about it, it makes me feel proud and giddy even for inherent human nature, it makes me feel in love with the concept of people with the same butterflies, and it makes me a firm believer that we should exist and humanity deserves to exist
one could say that it’s very stupid to love. it's very stupid to make an active commitment to inevitable future pain. it’s suboptimal for an entity that optimizes to avoid debilitating, all-consuming pain in a world where the passage of time can never stop and loss is inevitable, where there is literally no possible ending in which there isn’t an ending. and it’s kind of a miracle that we choose to do so, billions of people, every day

We finally have a new date for the life is strange collection on the switch . . . Only a year late lol September 27th and they’ve changed the name of the bundle to apparently remove the word “remastered” it’s now “the Arcadia bay collection”
Which makes me wonder if something about the remastering just made it totally bonkers on switch and they had to revert to the original code. It’s also possible they changed it to make it more clear that true colors isn’t included.

Life is Strange (BRANCHING NARRATIVE)
youtube
This episodic graphic adventure game revolves around the story of Max Caulfield, a photography student who discovers she has the power to rewind time. The game's narrative is heavily influenced by player choices, leading to multiple branching paths and various outcomes.
Life Is Strange is a graphic adventure game that is experienced from a third-person perspective. Players assume the role of Max Caulfield, who possesses the unique ability to rewind time, allowing the player to undo almost any action that has been taken. This ability to manipulate time enables the player to examine and interact with objects, facilitating puzzle-solving through tasks such as retrieving items and altering the environment. Any items collected before using time travel are retained in the inventory after the fact.
Within the fictional setting of Arcadia Bay, players can explore various locations and engage in conversations with non-playable characters. Dialogue exchanges can be rewound, and branching options are employed for conversation, allowing earlier details to influence future interactions. Choices made in dialogue can have both short-term and long-term consequences, with some decisions altering the story trajectory. It's important to note that what initially seems like a positive choice may lead to unforeseen negative outcomes later on.
