History of my chosen video game characters. 2010 onwards.

Game title: Life is strange

Developer: DONTNOD entertainment

Publisher: Square Enix

Release date: 29th January 2015

Format: Muiti platform

18 year old female Max Caulfield is the protagonist in the game Life is strange. She is a high school Senior student that studies photography at Blackwell academy, she soon discovers that she has the power  to rewind time while she in put in the situation to help save her childhood friend "Chloe Price" from being killed by a gunshot wound. The game is set in a fictional town called "Arcadia Bay, Oregon". Max and Chloe set out to help find clues about what happened to a former student named "Rachel Amber". With her power she has flash backs that bring her to the same scene each time that Arcadia Bay is about  to be destroyed by a violent storm, Max needs to understand how to prevent this from happening and how it may be connected to the disappearance of Rachel Amber. I chose this game Life is strange and it's main character Max because it is a recent game that I am currently still enjoying. The story has kept me devoted the more I play each episode (Episode 5 is the final that will be released later this month).

In each episode that gets released the character Max changes, she develops into a more confident, and more matured character. As the player I have a choice on how the final outcome of the game will end, as it is a narrative story based game. I haven't played many narrative games before but Life is strange feels like I am living a new and special experience each time I play.
