This is good.
Not because of the story, or the girls, or the looks, or anything. I could find something (not much) to criticise in every single aspect. But it doesn't matter. Because the devs have the balls to do it their way. No bullshit choices, no Schoolgirls with bodys from a pornproducers wet dream.I could go on a while, but you know what I mean. This is not another clone of a clone of a clone. Also, because it is done beautifully. In the car scene it even threw me out of the story, because I had just to check how long it will take for the driving background to repeat itself. The art department is neither lazy nor bad at all.

I read this as I would read a good comic, and to be honest, the choices that are presented to me feel more like a break in the flow. So, please continue to tell me this story.

This game is great because the graphics are cartoonized and its animations are excellent. There is a story that focuses very well on the environment but in the middle of the game I lost interest in continuing to read, this is not because the story is bad or uninteresting, it is because of laziness. Another thing is that the gameplay is very linear, there are no options to choose from and there is not much to do besides reading the story and continuing with the game.
Anyway, continue with the work, the animations are very good, they are really good, seeing Rachel having anal sex and her shaking her legs is something that you don't see in most games, seeing a female character feeling horny is something sensational.
However the game is not 100% great to tell the truth, some things I did not like, but it is the style of the game.

Game is beautiful and very well made, almost professional level stuff. I am amazed to even find something like this here to be honest. Gameplay is pretty much a kinetic novel (ie. no meaningful choices to be made) which I usually abhor but in this particular case I didn't actually mind much as the rest is just such high-level stuff. And I never even played any of the Life Is Strange games but I suppose maybe that's actually a plus in this case

Is there room for a psychological horror tag on this site? I feel like Jefferson's downward spiral needs it...
I think it should I can see how all these dreams he is having would turn him to madness but with that said it's really well done. And he is just barely holding it together right now although even playing as him I'd want him to suffer just for his actions in LiS.

Just glad we are getting more updates with this sure they ain't long updates but I'll take it because it really is a beautiful looking game.
Not quite sure what's so facepalm worthy of this supermanz95

While any update is nice, this was barely even 10 minutes. I get he wanted to put something out but honestly, I would have been fine with waiting another 2-3 months to get way more content put in.

The random times Rachel's eyes just fucking pop out at you always scare the shit out of me.

So, the dev said that there was not a lot of content in that update because he's busy reworking the game mechanics. I wonder what he's planning, mini-games? Meaningful choices?

Maybe both? I'm not sure what kind of mini-games it would be though unless he is going to go more into the powers side of it. Not that I'd change anything the game seems fine as it is.

Man. That latest update got me feeling weird. It's definitely something I'll need to replay since either I'm barely conscious and won't remember typing this in the morning or that latest update makes no sense to me. Only took me about 20 mins to complete. Maybe less.

Anyways, this is the best and only thing you're getting for a LiS VN as far as I know and I can absolutely recommend it. It's just such a shame the dev has had so many issues that make it so hard to work on this game.

Tl;Dr: Game's great but short and the development is insanely slow. Dev can be unresponsive but is clearly trying their best.
Give it a playthrough or two, write the name down, and come back in a few months to check for an update.

It's less of a rewrite and more of an expansion of the existing content really. The story itself stays as it is but I'm adding more choices and hooks to expand some scenes and create some paths for future scenarios.

I always feel that way, waiting for content is just a part of game development, as long as they keep us somewhat updated on the process...I would much rather have more content to play in one sitting.

I played the original game and honestly, it's why I enjoy this game so much. To play as the villain of the main game in a totally different timeline where Rachel is alive and Mark has the powers instead of Max is interesting. The writer of this game also stays true to each characters personality from the original game which is a plus

I wish we'd get to Max-Chloe-Rachel situation soon, so far the writing has been fantastic, and I can't wait to see what the relationships and dynamic will be like, now that all three of them are in the picture (Rachel will probably hate Max). I'd even be ok with no porn scenes for a while, since it's the most time consuming part.
