Life is Strange: Reunion Gameplay
Life is Strange: Reunion follows the long-anticipated reunion of Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. Developed by Deck Nine Games, this entry continues the series’ signature character-driven storytelling and high-stakes decisions, with two leads unraveling a mystery that ties their futures together.
Time-Rewind and Manipulation
Gameplay in Reunion is similar to prior titles, focusing on exploration, choice, and puzzle-solving, with Max using her classic time-rewind ability to manipulate environments and outcomes.
Backtalk
Chloe’s backtalk mechanic also returns, using her natural talent at picking fights with other people to get her way. In previous games, backtalk is optional and is triggered by selecting a dialogue choice with the swearing speech bubbles mark. Players must make the right sequence of choices to succeed in backtalk.
Branching Timelines and Narrative Consequences
As players investigate campus grounds, their decisions shape relationships and story developments across overlapping timelines. Once again, by tying gameplay closely to narrative consequences, Life is Strange: Reunion aims to deliver an experience intended to reward well-thought-out choices and interactions.
Life is Strange: Reunion Story
Life is Strange: Reunion explores the aftermath of Double Exposure, where Max’s use of her powers consequently and mysteriously altered their timeline. Continuing the series’ tradition of building the narrative over past decisions, Reunion will also take what players did in their playthroughs of previous Life is Strange titles.
Life is Strange: Reunion Plot
Max Caulfield and Chloe Price return in Life is Strange: Reunion, which revisits their shared past. Set years after their last encounter, the story displays unsettling events unfolding around a university where fractured timelines begin to overlap.
In three days, an inferno will tragically claim the lives of many and destroy Caledon University. With a broader mystery centered on temporal instability and converging realities, and so little time to find the culprits, Max and Chloe must tirelessly work together and make tough decisions before everything burns.
Life is Strange: Reunion Setting
Life is Strange: Reunion returns to Caledon University, an Arts and Science college in Lakeport, Vermont. Just like in Double Exposure, Max is a photographer and Artist in Residence, interacting with the students and faculty.
Life is Strange: Reunion Characters
Max Caulfield
Max Caulfield is the main protagonist of Life is Strange, Double Exposure, and Reunion. She awakened to the power to rewind time after saving her best friend Chloe Price from being killed by another student, Nathan Prescott, in Blackwell Academy. She later worked in Caledon University as a photographer and Artist in Residence, where she is embroiled in another mystery surrounding the death of her friend Safi. Her decision during this time would catalyze the events in Reunion.
Chloe Price
Chloe Price is the deuteragonist in Life is Strange and the protagonist of Before the Storm and Reunion. She is Max's best friend whose fate is determined by the choices the players make. In Reunion, she would return to Chloe's life with memories of multiple timelines, a consequence of a decision Max made in Double Exposure.
