Life is Strange: Before the Storm

Love the game even though I'm not too crazy about the VA for Chloe. The Linux native version runs great after you compile a new shared library and add it to the LD_PRELOAD path in the launch.sh file.

I don't know if it's because I played the original LiS a long time ago at this point, or maybe because I wasn't at the age where I feel like I can soak in media at a deeper level as I can now that I'm older, but I liked this even more than LiS. No spoilers here, but with the added mystery of 'this character is mentioned in LiS, let's see why they mattered so much' and then giving me hard evidence why this character left such a large impact... I get it now. And my god, was realising that a major gut punch. Sure, some dialogue is a bit cringe. Sure, the VAs were changed for union reasons and don't sound exactly the same. But the absolute amazing chemistry between Chloe and Rachel felt so real and also so tragic. And when I get to see that chemisty and beauty at its absolute height, I get the rug pulled out from under me. I'm upset AND angry about it. But that's a good thing to feel. I think I'm due for a LiS replay after all these years. GO LESBIANS!!!!!!!! GO CHLOE X RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!
