I’m going to play it, how about you?
The excitement of this year’s Summer Game Fest continues on its third day, featuring a major announcement for gaming enthusiasts: a new addition to the beloved story-driven series, Life is Strange. The latest installment, titled “Life is Strange: Double Exposure,” is eagerly anticipated to hit the shelves this fall.
In “Double Exposure,” players will reconnect with protagonist Max Caulfield, who is now navigating college life at the esteemed Caledon University. As the university’s photographer-in-residence, Max’s life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers her best friend, Safi, has been tragically murdered. Faced with this harrowing reality, Max employs her unique ability to rewind time in hopes of altering the past and saving her friend. However, her intervention leads to the creation of an alternate timeline where Safi is still alive but remains in imminent danger.
