What is the “good” ending of Life Is Strange? Their new game makes it clear… either one
A strange ending

In the end, all the decisions you made throughout the first ‘Life is Strange’ (which made the game a special and unique experience) led to only two possible endings: either let the storm destroy everything but save your friend, or save everything but let her perish in the initial shooting. For years, fans have wondered what the official and real timeline is, especially now that a continuation of Max’s adventures is coming. And the answer is… both.
No ending
In ‘Life is Strange: Double Exposure’, the developing studio, Deck Nine, considered it important that the game they made respected both endings, as if they were not contradictory to each other. “There is no canonical ending to the first game”, they comment, thus avoiding speaking in terms of a “true ending” and not invalidating players’ experiences, which, frankly, is quite clever.
On October 29th we’ll know to what extent both endings have been respected, or if they will simply avoid talking about the subject in order to move forward with Max’s story as an adult. Apparently, the game has been careful to respect both decisions in thoughts, diary entries, messages, and interactions with other characters, with a protagonist who will end her first chapter alone with another impossible decision to make.
It’s also true that this new game will be about two different timelines converging at the same time, so it’s possible that it finds success by playing with what fans want to know: whether Chloe gets the chance to appear at some point and finally make us happy by having a much desired and longed-for reunion. Many years have passed since their last ‘Life is Strange’. We just hope they don’t disappoint.
