>Life is Strange(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don't Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy photography student who discovers she can rewind time and perhaps more pressingly, that she is hella gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reconnection with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their relationship becomes the game’s emotional core as they search for the truth behind the disappearance of Rachel Amber. What starts as a teenage reunion becomes a haunting, queer exploration of grief, love, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can’t live without.

>Lost Records: Bloom & Rage(LR: B&R) - A spiritual successor to the original LiS, made by Don't Nod (DN). Set in Velvet Cove during the summer of 1995, it follows Swann Holloway and her misfit friends: Nora, Autumn, and Kat. They form a band, hang out, and navigate the complexity of being gay. But something dark shatters their innocence and 27 years later, they reunite to confront the past. It’s nostalgic, aching, and supernaturally sapphic in all the best ways.

>>527675828Why does Riot Games capitalized on the popularity of CaitVi and TimeBomb to gain easy money but Square is so afraid to do the same for Pricefield, even when it clearly proves the opposite? Are they allergic to money?
This is not a curse... it's a LOVE song!
Heh, stupid boy!
I'll put you under my spell! You'll be my slave!
I'll be your QUEEN and you'll be the slave!
IN HELL!
My slave in that motel!
Yeah I can't get you out of my head, boy!
Cause I actually love you and want you all for myself!
So take me back to the internal motel, I know you love me more than my bitch sister!
Whoooaoooo!
>>527677745because it won't make them any money. LR sales showed how much pricefielders actually have
>>527677745Exactly. DE would've flown off shelves if they’d just marketed Chloe with Max. Remember the damn ring theory? Lens theory? All anyone asked pre release was “But where the fuck is Chloe?” It's not hard, if Square wants to make bank, the solution's fairly obvious. Problem is, they're probably too stubborn or clueless to do
>>527678153>DE bombs and turn more than half the fanbase angry>Square CEO aknowledge that the reception is so mixed they have to take a look at how the sales go furtherStill lying I see.
>>527679180The funny thing is, Riot is predatory as fuck as well with overpriced skins and all sort of dumb shit to make people play LoL, but at least they know what some of their audience like and the see that pandering to them brings easy merchandise and long term fandom loyalty. Square fumbled so hard it's pathetic at this point.

>>527735752Shitting on BtS was fair given the amount of inconsistencies it had with the first game. And look, nobody expected LiS2 to be that different, and some users were indeed racists pricks.

>>527737168>She was a better character when she was deadPretty much.
I don't hate Rachel. But she worked better as a character that we only knew about from other peoples perspectives on who she was.
Her inclusion in BtS already really distracted from what should have been a 100% Chloe focused story. That game should have ended at the point when the two first met.

>>527739220>I don't hate Rachel. But she worked better as a character that we only knew about from other peoples perspectives on who she was.I like and dislike her characterization in BtS because of its touch and go aspects. However, I agree and prefer the air of mystery around her since we can imprint our own assumptions; should we believe Chloe idealization of her, the smattering of derisory remarks about town, Frank's puppy dog love etc. I take her comic version as canon for myself
>>527751973Nora FOR THE WIN!
I'm still bitter over autumn
If the game was a 3/10 romancing her then what would it be with a kat romance? I'm considering giving the game a second chance, leaving things like this doesn't seem right
>>527752347Kat's would be a 7-8 (possibly a 9) while Nora's is a 9-10; depending on who you prefer in the end of course
>>527752592I would say that Nora is an 11/10.
Her romance path starts off amazing (I really felt some of those awkward, gay, attempts at flirting) and just keeps building on itself until you get to this inevitable, tragic ending that I think has more impact than the totality of the emotional scenes from all of the LiS games combined. Even more impact than the gut punch that the entire game had been building up to.
I have never been more attached to a character or invested in a romance. Everything about Nora and Snora is so well done that it just has to be the dev intended romance.
>>527754373definitely the fan favorite so far but I'm half-expecting don't nod to make the endings in a sequel akin to LiS 2's; albeit maybe a little happier. Bittersweet as they are, I don't think LR's endings are comparable to LiS 2's in the sense that the relationships differ. Not to take away from LR's romance but Brotherhood is inexorably more potent imo; bound by blood or no. LR trumps LiS 2 in a dramatic sense that there's no closure, for Dylan (her story is definitely not over) and those trapped in The Abyss as of yet anyway.
>>527755323I assume Dylan will actually have a role in the future game if Michel actually plans to build up a shared universe with recurring characters, and she's the best connection any new main character can have with Kat or Swann all thing considered.
>>527758095I do hope she's in the next game in some capacity but a 4 issue wouldn't hurt either. Maybe a story about how she became the ranch owner and gaining some influence in the town

Album cover Anon, is this plausible?
>>527788641>- dont get why alderman could see himselfyou can kind of just intuit that there's a reality "bleed" at that overlook because it's where Max does the initial split. Same goes for when Reggie saw himself there too. The game doesn't explain it well
>- dont get why safi was shotNot explained iirc. Just stupid theories for now like an evil max sabotaging both timelines, three if you include the polaroid timeline.
>seems like there were only 6 locationsThere's 10 I think: bowling alley (reused), caledon exterior, fine arts, administrative, turtle bar, max's lodge, overlook, rooftop of observatory, interior of observatory(?), safi's hideout
>sequelmaybe, maybe not.

Characters like Izzie, I think deserved to be in a DN game. Hell, just imagine what DN could have done with an Izzie/Steph/Alex love triangle.
>>527875906Not much familiar with Izzie's, but I get that prequel Steph novel actually gave her a bit of character to make her stand out. But I do believe Michel and co could make a compelling trans character even if it ends up being targeted by the usual chuds.
>>527876547The Steph novel really did flesh Izzie out a ton. But I would argue that even in TC and Wavelengths, she is a really likeable and compelling character by D9 standards; it is just that what we learn of her is almost always secondhand.
>I do believe Michel and co could make a compelling trans characterDN are honestly one of few studios that I think could include a trans character and not make them feel like some tokenistic box checking. Really, they would be the just about the only studio I would trust to actually get into trans topics and handle it well.
This is what I think makes Izzie being trapped in the LiS IP so tragic.
I hope in B&R 2 we actually get a trans supporting character.
>>527877007Booooo.
You are just ruining the game for yourself.
>>527877249I disagree on Izzie being compelling in Wavelenghts, she's like pushed to the side and barely exists aside from saying she broke up with Steph and she then talks to her again as friends, basically not really mattering that much.

>>527875013>I really think the 'Madonna' makeup is the best looking. But that could just be because of how much it looks like Nora's style.I was hoping the makeup would vary depending on who applied it. Still the three same options but each with their own flair
>>527875013Goth > Grunge > Glam
>>527877709I'm willing to admit that my view of Izzie in Wavelengths might be influenced by having replayed it after reading the Steph novel. So I guess you could say it slightly further builds upon a character I already really like.
>>527877916Autumn was a good idea that was poorly executed on every level.
Kat is much more interesting/sympathetic. Nora is infinitely more likable and has the best romance in the game.
>>527879224At first I assumed that it did depend on who did your makeup, since I went with glam, got it done by Nora and glam just looks so much like Nora's own style.
>>527879337Glam is the best style and I will die on this hill.
>>527879337actually it goes:
Goth > Grunge > Coven > Glam

New interview for Mixtape, they revealed the game is pretty varied in content even if it is just five hours in total lenght if you take the time to look for everything.
I have finally arrived at the acceptance stage. Pricefield is dead. In the games.
I'll always have my physical copies of the comics though.
>>527914320Amazing stuff!
>>527939847>five hours in totalThat really sucks. Especially for a game they have been teasing for years now.
I'm still hopeful that it could end up being a quality queer narrative game, but it is feeling more like it is going to be some sort of short adventure game that leans hard on its licensed soundtrack.
>>527947309>Pricefield is dead. In the games.Pretty much. Even if they pull a hard reset and abandon the DE 1 timeline, 'our Max' is still basically forever polluted at this point. Unless they wanted to abandon that timeline and also pull the Safi mental manipulation theory.
I have so many problems with that comic. But it is the best pricefield followup/closure we are ever going to get in anything official.
Thank god for Snora or else I would be extremely upset.

>>5279967911) They work better as a couple then Chenrich does imo.
2) Izzie is super likable.
3) They broke up mainly due to Steph being incredibly unreasonable. So I think it is easy to imagine things not getting to that point with them or Steph simply being more empathetic.
Much like with Chasemarsh, it is just a ship that I really like. Even if I am in the clear minority.
>>5279971411) I actually don't think they work better than Chenrich, maybe short term they get a long better, but as time went on it's clear that they were of two different mindsets and were not able to overcome that.
2) I don't see how Izzie is more likable than Steph or Alex. She has her own troubles which makes her sort of unlikable. When she gets in her moods and seems to be condescending when talking to Steph. And also a perfectionist which culminates into her being overly critical of herself and others.
3) I don't think Steph was any more unreasonable than Izzie. If anything the whole tour they went on, which ended up breaking them up was because they were dangerously close to breaking up anyway, due to losing battle of the bands which set Izzie on a downward spiral mood that Steph feelt obligated to come up with something to avoid a breakup.

>LR sales numbers are from that journoWhich one? If you don't give out a proper source, I assume you are full of shit.
Also, nobody seems to mention that Steam, PS and Xbox stores all have a 30% cut on any game sales, and this influences DE as well. Are you going to put that in as well?
>>528023008I just do a rough estimate of the gross revenue. Deducting taxes and commissions isn’t my job.
But if you do, it only proves my point even more
>>528026884>But if you do, it only proves my point even moreNo it doesn't, DE is a flop. If anything, added taxes will only make sense on why it was labelled as a large loss for Square kek
>>528030180My point was, even if every single pricefielder got together and bought DE, it still wouldn’t have saved it from flopping. I backed that up with the even worse sales numbers of LR.
Either you’re a moron that can't read, or just not paying attention
>>528032320You act like pricefielders really shot your mum out the door, and you make out imaginary numbers to fill out how supposedly they don't matter. Guess what? Having a considerable portion of the fandom saying DE is ass will constitute as bad word of mouth and will discourage people from trying it. And Lost Records is a new IP with totally new characters, so in that case they'll be curious but not necessarily inclined to buy the game. That doesn't mean the game is a flop, in fact according to Dontnod its doing as well as they expected to be, so its not a massive flop if they wanted the game to build up an audience going foward, given how those games are bound to have a niche audience and they are way past the Telltale golden age
>>528032320This discourse around the game would have been more positive overall.
Positive wom means more sells, genius.
Plus, you don't understand anything about game dev and the business side of it. It's painful.
>>528034945This. Also, looking at the SteamDB numbers, Lost Records got a big boost of new players by only getting a short 20% discount compared to DE struggling to sell for many months at 40% off. Positive reviews and word of mouth for those games matters a lot more than for your average Call of Duty.
>>528037401Cant believe everyone sleeped on Krystine doing a blackface cosplay of Autumn
>>528034610>so its not a massive flopIt is a flop
>they wanted the game to build up an audience going fowardGood luck to them. I heard their stock’s back at €1 a share, right where it was during their worst financial year before 2025
>>528034945Are you in sixth grade or something?
>>528035532The discount thing’s a bit more complicated. I’m keeping an eye on it, but not jumping to any conclusions just yet, same way I didn’t back when DE launched and its sales were briefly ahead of TC’s pace.
As for the positive word of mouth, I agree, but it’s still just echoing around the same niche crowd. Not like COD or anything. The buzz helps, sure, especially with the long-term sales, but it’s not a game-changer
>>528041386LR is not a flop so far, its selling in line with what Dontnod expected which is better than for Jusant or Banisher performed, and their stock is backing up, which is at least a good sign. And its not constantly on sale so there's that.
>when DE launched and its sales were briefly ahead of TC’s paceBet you were one of them gloating about his success then, because I was there and I saw the massive fall back in just a week post relase and how DE literally fell down worse than TC ever did. And now player wise is performing in the same ballpark as TC, a four year old game, while the original LiS1, LiS2 and even Tell Me Why have a stronger long term playerbase.

Are y’all surprised? They nuked the Bae ending, erased Chloe and still thought DE would stick the landing. If they’d actually featured Chloe on the Bae path and merged both endings like originally planned, it could’ve easily hit BtS-tier. If DE2 even still happens, I'm betting they’ll probably merge the timelines and drag Chloe back just to save face. All roads lead back to AB. And Rhianna’s “unannounced upcoming VG” is looking real sus. But God knows how long it's been there.
>>528051985She has updated the site to remove the upcoming section but still left that unnanounced role and all, who knows what the hell is she doing, or if it doesn't get cut again.
>>528051985They're for sure going to rip off the comics
>>528052286If not that, they are going to remake LiS1 from the ground up like the REmakes, Dead Space 1 or Silent Hill 2, but it's going to be a though sell because it will be still an inferior copy of the original game.
>>528051985Since 2022, at the latest.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pricefield/comments/1guotwo/de_counting_down_to_chloeday_or_rhianna_just/
>>528053129I think a remake would only work, and could be better, if they bring back DN to fulfill their original vision but not straying too far from the canon we have now. What would a remake add to the current game? Maybe an actual photo mode this time and/or the player manually taking the snapshots themselves. They might rework the rewind; give the player more control somehow. New locations, maybe characters and music. Restored cut content that only serves to improve the flow of the story. More time with Chloe
However, if it's remade with UE5, I fear the charm of the original will be lost; animations/cinematics would look better sure and the game would look "prettier" but idk, it would be a major con. They might "enhance" the sound design, maybe even re-record lines with new VAs which is always a hit or miss. Music license could be iffy too.
>>528054879Cada, are you back to be laughted at again? You made quite the show with that last ridicolous prediction kek
>>528042486I said from the start the game wouldn’t hit TC’s numbers, so I was pretty realistic about it. The only thing I got wrong was estimating the concurrent player count at around 6 to 6.5K, less than TC. If you were around back then, you might remember me saying that
>>528051985>Bae path and merged both endings like originally planned, it could’ve easily hit BtS-tierThat's delusional. No LiS game in 2024 could came anywhere near matching BtS, with or without Pricefield. That’s just nonsense with zero numbers to back it up
>>528055340>You made quite the show with that last ridicolous prediction kekwith all predictions. not once has that sucker ever been right
>>528055962And she always post her own stuff, like those bath salt gurus trying to peddle their junk science kek
>>528051990Vi would kill Chloe.
>>528051990Caitvi is better than Pricefield. I love Max and Chloe together but Caitlyn and Vi just have that special desperate, longing love that is captivating to watch.
>>528057373CaitVi is if anything more ridiculous than Pricefield. They covered the two of them meeting, falling in love, breaking up, getting back together in a matter of weeks. Borderline Disney.
>>528057637Yea it was rushed, but the vast majority of Max and Chloe's relationship we never even see. It's all it the past with a couple glimpses and no follow up on the romance angle. Everything is off screen.
>>528057637True, and to be honest Cait's actions are probably a lot more easier to hate than Chloe. But Riot knows those two are a popular pairing that make money and fandom engagement, so they marketed the shit out of it, something that Square seems to be deeply contrarian too.
>>528057814>but the vast majority of Max and Chloe's relationship we never even see.This is bullshit, we have a whole game of Max and Chloe relationship development, and while it might not be romance related, it's indeed a solid relationship bonding and we get to see a lot of that. But it was also due to the game relasing in 2015, right when Gamergate was at its apex and there wasn't much queer media as explicit as it was. That's why a good remake should necessarily push harder on the relationship angle that was not made overtly explicit in the original game. But Square will probably neuter down Chloe and ask for Warren to have a more prominent role as a romance option because otherwise it is not balanced enough.
>>528055606Let's be honest, Pricefield has always been the most popular pairing, and ever since LiS2, fans have been clamoring for a sequel with both Max AND Chloe. One of the biggest criticisms back then was because LiS2 no longer focused on them.
DE flopped, and sidelining Chloe was obviously a huge part of why. If DE2 brings her back with a real role, it doesn’t have to out perform BtS, just having her there would be enough to generate more hype and probably outsell DE by a mile. The demand’s been there for a decade.
I wish there was more middle-aged and graying Max and Chloe.
>>528054965>What would a remake add to the current game?The only thing that I'd really want is a rework of episode 5. Not that the rest of the game is perfect, but I don't think you should mess too much with something that mostly works.
>>528056228Kek
Cada, you should add this to your bio everywhere
>>528066549I can't find anything like that.
Max finally convincing Chloe that rimming is okay for friends
>>528062128The problem (putting aside the x-men shit that any sequel would need to deal with), is that DE 1 did a large amount of damage to the pricefield ship. The only way they could actually repair that would be with the whole Safi mental manipulation theory.
Just adding back Chloe without attempting to repair just how damaging her painfully out of character break up was is not going to be some instant recipe for successes.
The best possible outcome would be to abandon the DE timeline and have Max just permanently migrate to some new timeline where bae and bay are merged. But even that would have problems that I doubt whoever is left at D9 has the writing ability or care to actually address.
I think it is best for everyone if you just look at the pricefield comic as the official end of that ship.
>>528066549LR (snora really) has got me so much more invested in middle aged lesbian romance. I wish there was more stuff out there.
>>5280927241) I think Chloe would be the one convincing Max.

>Take your bets.If they're smart, they'll try their damndest to repair Max and Chloe's relationship. I think Amanda is implied to be a no-go at the ending. Vinh can die. So it'll either be Chloe or a new character
>>528167128I miss Chloe so much bros...
>>528167128Kino! We need that scene of Chloe and Max at the lake recreating the LiS2 pic now
Was this a reference to DE2?
Do you think Littleton knew about the few Chloe reunion hints at the end of DE when she post the tweets that destroyed any chance the game had or were this line and text added in a rush after she was sacked?
>>528169270This is recent?
>>528170596Wasn't she sacked in 2023, right?
>>528161839There’s gonna be a new character, though it's still unknown yet if she's gonna be a love interest or not. Moses and Amanda are set to reappear. Basically, everyone who had an alternate outfit in the first part is showing up again
>>528170754November 2024. Under this pic, one of the comments she responded too.
>>528171167t. making shit up
>>528171405I feel bad for that fella to find the way Chloe is in DE and I wouldn't have any hope for a future game featuring her again, unless whoever took control of the LiS team at Deck Nine is crunching their asses off to rewrote the shit they left behind.

>>528171167Yeaaa, source? Max’s relationships with Vihn and Amanda ultimately fail, so narratively there’s little reason to bring either of them back. The door was clearly left ajar for Chloe to return in case they needed to pivot later. Which I'm guessing they're now doing. Or DE2 is likely DOA.

>>528199185She deserved to be in a much better game honestly. Could have been a real quality sapphic romance option.
>>528199535I think Cassidy was perfectly fitting as straight option for LiS2, the real crime was not to have her last only an episode. But again, the road trip was the weakest part of LiS2.

>>528288398It was. Loretta growing as a person was one of the better parts of the game and while the whole sequence was awful as it was, it's nice to see a calm and collected Max that reassures people in need.
>>528292573>Loretta growing as a person was one of the better parts of the gameExcept not really? At least, a good part of her supposed character development has been axed when she was originally supposed to be Victoria 2.0, and she's as inoffensive and bland as possible to the point I don't really think she has a "true" character arc.

>>528379278Kat route tapers off a bit in Tape 2 after the haircut and it just never picks up again, even after the kiss. It doesn't suck entirely but she doesn't have the added benefit of a '22 version to bond with and base your decisions on. It'd work better if you have a penchant for the stuff she likes and a thing for insecure riot grrrls I guess. Could've used a segment where we visit her in the hospital but that would feel a little hackneyed, idk. Doesn't make the end any less heartbreaking, it's probably the most.
>>528379278Seeing the same locations over and over again, especially Swann's room and that fucking diner, really killed my desire to replay. I swear even LiS1 had more variety.
>>528381427In fairness to LR the approach was mostly dealing with a limited budget and doing the best of what they had. It's a bit annoying but at least it doesn't feel like a complete snorefest thanks to the characters. Maybe a budget increase for the next game would be beneficial
Almost as many players right now on steam as Remember Me lmao
>>528380431One of the biggest downsides about the romances is that Nora has probably the largest bones to her relationship, and she can end up kissing Swann at least three times. Autumn doesn't have the same energy, even if her adult self is a lot more interesting than her teen persona, and Kay is obviously gone for good as the story makes her descent in the Abyss a focal point. It's complicated.
Do you guys know of any LR hate videos? I'm putting together a collection. Extra points if it calls Don't Nod pedos.

>>528382642Looking at the charts on Steam DB right now. If we comparefrom number of current players and most active, the picture is that Life is Strange 1 and Life is Strange 2 have the most active numbers of players like, ever. And Lost Records is still pulling more weekly players than DE, who has sunk at the lowest level of TC and Before the Storm, a four year and a seven year old game respectivly.
The original version of the first game and BtS have been basically without discounts for a while yet they are still more played than the remasters, and LiS2 has turned into a solid second with Lost Records as third.
>>528383232>a grooming attempt disguised as a teen dramaIs this going to be a E;R situation in which the whole point of the game fly over their head?
>>528383451I like LR but it's dangerously close to crossing a line with how skeevy it feels. It's a dating sim made by middle-aged french men where your options are three girls under 18, one of which looks VERY young. Max and Chloe were already quite young and they decided for whatever reason to go even lower
I didn't dwell on it because I wanted to enjoy the game but I can't blame others for calling it out
>>528383256>only way the genre can survive is by begging sony for a ps+ dealgrim
>>528383772>It's a dating sim made by middle-aged french men where your options are three girls under 18I wouldn't say this is that big of an issue given that all the ingame relationships are age appropriate with Swann and overall the past LiS game had the clear message that "grooming is bad actually", so I don't see where that angle come from if not from a superficial reading of the game
>>528384003The dealy and last minute deal probably saved them a lot, there are more reviews for LR than DE and at least we are going to get a new game going foward.
>>528382794>It's complicated.It is. Nora and Swann's romance is amplified by the fact that it's also an exploration of their awakening, or lack thereof in Swann's case. To Kat's benefit, she can end up with Nora too but you don't see the courtship; also it feels like Kat's just more into Swann regardless if you set up the kiss in the trail. Kinda reminiscent of Steph's push and pull until she relents. Autumn is just a right place, wrong time situation, both in '95 and '22. She was still hung up with the whole Dean thing, though she opens up eventually, same with the woman in '22. With the added stress of her work (or something else), she just wasn't emotionally/romantically available. Really hope they delve deeper into the relationships in the sequel, these connections are really special.
>>528383772It is awkward at first but I always attribute it to the developers being simply French. I won't go so far to call it perverse but the French are at the forefront when it comes to transgressive media that deals with uncomfortable truths. I'm not advocating it but it does happen. The game's so much more than that too lmao.
>>528388119French media in general is a lot less prude and more willing to be upfront on stuff that the general US audience might find weird. LiS was the perfect fusion of french queer tragedy and Twin Peaks supernatural sheneigans which really can't be recreated
>>528381427What's worse is that you barely interact with anyone that isn't the 3 girls or Dylan and Corey
The first hour of LiS1 has you talk to more characters than in the entirety of LR
>>528390994For once I appreciated the smaller and closer cast rather than having pointless side characters giving nothing to the story, but it's a trick that can work for just one game desu
>>528360383Some of them clearly do, anon
>>528405485Within the area
>>528405123Excellent work
>>528395609If you squint your eyes maybe, but none of them has the same clever reference to media that Dontnod put into their own
>>528405076Based
>>528417075You don't even need to squint, things like 3EN-2DO are plain as day. As for reference to the media, I don't think it's clever, simply because references to modern pop culture are just tacky, especially when there were Blake allusions and way more subtle stuff in the game too
>>528419480Not really, and it doesn't matter anyway because its has zero bearing on the game.
>>528419864>Not reallyAdnan that you?
>its has zero bearing on the gameAs if those TV show references had any more bearing
>>528421429People can recognize the references to the movies, books and shows and say how cool they are, and how they have an overall influence on the game's atmosphere and story. DE you couldn't see that and most of the time is just people misinterpreting stuff like the No Chloe plate being a random number, or not being a consistent thematic.

>>528551581Holy fucking shit!!
And this was the game where they were originally gonna reveal Pricefield was dead, but then COVID got in the way
>>528551581Oh D9, always cutting corners because they are the lowest bidder.
>>528552798But they totally redrew the license plates, they’re Vermont ones in DE.
>>528553262Just a little texture swap, and kept the rest the same, not that hard to do.
>>528551581>>528552727So basically that anon who speculated that the license plates in DE are kinda like Nazi symbols in TC wasn't totally off. It's even possible those plates were actually designed by that same Nazi dev. Or at least it was his idea behind it.
>>528551581what is the significance of these letters?
snora anons, i'mma makes a simple snora thing for y'alls.
>>528558765Nobody ever answers this.
I'm taking my time with LR. Nora just arrived at the bar in the modern timeline. How far into it am I?
>>528574406About 70% done with tape one.
>>528574881Alrighty. I'm going all in on Nora because she's endearing in the '95 story. Seems kind of sad so far in the modern.
Another YouTube is playing DE https://youtu.be/yWLqay4bygQ?si=dYNEH9AZH2WavTTs her reactions are funny. You know watching a non gamer (who just plays the lis games) play DE it makes it even more jarring how out of place DE is. She is commenting all the same things we have from things feeling out of place (like how Amanda acts after Safi died) how Max and Chloe were the heart of the first. She's going ewww to Vinh
It makes writers like Aysha feel more out of touch that they aren't seeing what the average lis fan sees she even thinks the outfits are ugly
>>528578917It's also interesting how she's just as confused as everyone else about why she's still got Chloe's photo in her wallet if they're ex girlfriends lol you know seeing her confusion over the break up has me again wondering if that was the point. Safi does touch the photo before that scene plays which means she could have tampered with it. But the thing is the kind is so sloppy it probably wasn't meant to hint anything. But it doesn't make sense how they wrote the break up. Like so much of the game it's not even finished
Which is why all the writers defending it makes it worse. We've got theories trying to make sense of how badly it's done
>>528494148I mean every oozing pustule of Nora's acne is rendered in exquisite detail. I guess that's dedication.
>>528435292Trashy low poly trend, ruined an otherwise good artstyle. What a shame.
>>528494535For me, it's the waterline in their eyes. It's arguably not even realistic. But it's one of those details that gives the eyes just that extra bit of life to them. Although in some scenes, the waterline can look a little odd. Like when Swann is taping them practicing the curse in the circle. The way the light reflects off of Autumn's waterline makes her eyes look really strange.
>>528142673I always assumed Max would be the slightly smelly, hairy autistic one, since she's artsy but a dork
>>528587972Off to a better life
>>528597698Max seems to be fastidious enough to avoid bad hygiene though. Can't say the same for her room/work spaces
>>528483014comfy, but the sweater is ugly af

My god, Kat and Nora are disgusting. They look like they don't shower or wipe properly.
Is there any way to get them killed so it's just me and Autumn?

>>528594534Why couldn't we have gotten a hot bitch to romance?
I'm going to modelswap Dylan as Autumn or something, this is unplayable
>>528618674Don't reply to me with your bullshit. I was saying ew because the fanartist has an unappealing style.
>>528618950The game itself has an unappealing style. You shouldn't be surprised that the only fanart it gets is from people with bad aesthetic taste.
>>528619224The game gets various fanart from various people, like all the games do.
>>528494148If this is what effort looks like then I think I'd rather have Max!
>The Permalink is deadRIP one of the last vestigial elements from when I first started making lisg threads. That holdout was like 5 years old if I remember right.
Since I doubt it will come back up. I will drop it in the next thread.
>>528435051I'm still sad that the trailer had a much gayer vibe then the game itself ended up having.
I would have loved a good sapphic horror-romance.
>>528593440Oily skin can be cute on some people. Nora is one of those people.
Honestly, I'm more impressed that she did not seem to have any scaring as an adult. I have some scaring and it is a nightmare to try and hide with makeup.
>>528551061Riley is by far the best ship with Alex.
Richgolis is the best Steph ship
>>528619224I know those characters aren't aesthetically pleasing but that artist...
>Hey, Anon! That morphine needs to be at 11 before the next bread!
