About LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE:

Max Caulfield, photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University, discovers her closest new friend, Safi, dead in the snow. Murdered. To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not used in years… instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive, and still in danger! Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality. Only Max can Shift between the two parallel timelines to solve and prevent the same murder.

LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE is a direct sequel to the original LIFE IS STRANGE game released in 2015. In the game, players will explore Max Caulfield’s newly evolved power to Shift between two parallel timelines. In addition, the new Pulse ability will allow Max to glimpse the opposite timeline before jumping through and overhear conversations happening on the other side, which is the perfect supernatural tool for an amateur sleuth.

Players can experience both aspects of Max’s new power to solve her friend Safi’s murder. As Max Shifts back and forth between two increasingly different timelines, her power will allow the players to complete unique puzzles, navigate complex campus social dynamics, and explore all the mysteries that Caledon University has to offer.

LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE is now available on Xbox Series X|S consoles, PlayStation 5® and PC via Steam and Windows Store. The game is also coming to Nintendo Switch™ in the future. Additionally, the game is available in three editions: Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate. Full details about each edition can be found at lifeisstrange.com.
