I played this nice little game today. It is called “Life is Strange” and it is a 5-part adventure game. I played the first part today, took me about 2-3 hours and boy, where they some nice, well spent hours.

You play as Max, an 18 year old hipster/geek. She is a photography student in a college in her hometown, a place she hasn’t visited in 5 years. She has friends, bullies, enemies and mysteries to deal with. She considers Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to be one of her favourite science fiction films and Henri-Cartier Bresson to be one of her favourite photographers, to be honest I was won over by those two facts alone.

Oh, she can also turn back time.

All in all, a fun,unique, crafted with love and care game. Gameplay is okey, Graphics are charming, Voice Acting is quite good and the writing feels very honest.

TL;DR: If you think that a mix of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks and The Longest Journey is interesting then… you know what to do.
