(SPOILERS!)

content warning ⚠️ subtle implications of assault.

yes, i am still not sold with the sequel.

i do agree that ‘double exposure has an interesting plot and new characters AND it could’ve been written better or it didn’t include max at all to sell the game’ can still exist in the same sentence.

but i have to admit that this video i stumbled upon tiktok today exploring max’s trauma back in the first game was beautifully made and devastating to witness at the same time. (i refuse to watch the whole scene because i personally think it’s so corny, i might take back my statement.)

hannah’s performance as max—especially when she is raising her voice; breaking out from her “shy, nerdy, camera geek” person that she constantly boxes herself in—always sends a chill down to my spine.

this is the same girl who watched her best friend get killed in the junkyard and was also drugged during that process, who had to hold the burden of knowing almost every single female student in blackwell is also a victim of the professor he looked up to, who had to rely on no one but her destructive rewinding powers at the age of eighteen, reliving it all over again after how many years.

“no, no... never again!”

“once is all you get!”

my heart breaks so much for you. i love you, max caufield. 🦋

i just hope that the deck nine developers treat you and chloe price better in the next game.

and if you kick every gay person out of your target audience by purposely trying to make the LIS games not “the gay games” then WHO is going to be playing LIS, decknine?

[itsanotheridiot]

Starting this off by saying I am very excited for the new LiS game and can’t wait to see max again

But holy shit am I nervous. I am HOPING they are just keeping Chloe a secret instead of writing her out because to ignore and forget Chloe one ignores all of the first game and two fundamentally destroys Max as a character. Is pricefield healthy definitely something to be discuss but what can’t be deny is how important Chloe is to Max.

Also with the going back to Max HOPEFULLY DeckNine wasn’t lazy and did basically built two games for this because just imagine how fucking emotional it would be for max depending on your ending

Imagine max who sacrificed Chloe shifting reality to a reality where she sacrificed the town and she sees this life she could have built with Chloe and seeing her after years of trying to move in from her death

Imagine a max who scarified the town instead of Chloe and shifting to a reality where Chloe is gone from her life and how empty it feels with this piece missing but seeing how this max try’s to move on

Like there is so many interesting and different things they could write and explore and I just hope they did put effort into it because there was so much writing and things to see in the first game I hope it gets the same love and effort especially since we are going back to max ���

me: fuck decknine for making max and chloe break up

someone: so you think their relationship was healthy?

me: savannah slow down

[hothammies]

chloe price... a free spirit... the one that lost three separate people within the game yet held onto them for so long because of her severe attachment issues.... THAT chloe price...

15 minutes until the LIS stream im vibrating

bg3 game awards sweep <3

[wavebiders]

the way I'm gonna have to blacklist one of my all-time favorite games because they're refusing to let my favorite character rest

[the-night-puncher]

I'm so fuckin disappointed the new life is strange is bringing max back, does deck nine really have not a single original idea?

Lis is a series capable of so many different and interesting stories and perspectives and instead they are going to try to bank on the first games popularity while doing the exact same plot of mystery they copied in true colors. Can't wait for the episode four ending where the bad guy is revealed and then the last one where it's a dream sequence, so happy Life is strange is on the hands of such original writers

SGUUUUT UPPP NO STOP SOTP????????

[theblue-hairedarcadian]

feeling like absolute shit rn. i blame this to Decknine Games

[maxthesillyy]

how decknine feels dropping the biggest, most obvious cash grab ever knowing most of us would buy it anyways

[theblue-hairedarcadian]

hey ........ uh .... mic test ???????? 📣‼️ the sabotage against pricefield’s characters was also just the tip of the iceberg. deck nine games is more messy than what you think, please check this link out and do not support the company At All.

thanks for bringing this article back into the dash. call the company out, get their attention, hold them responsible, but do not send threats on their workers. they’ve done more than enough.

hey while we're all still rightfully very upset over the pricefield breakup, do you think we could circle back to that IGN article that exposed D9 as a toxic workplace that had rampant sexism homophobia, transphobia and protected a literal nazi. can we go back to that

a genuine representation of the lis fandom ever since Double Exposure was announced:

USER 1: "omg guys stop fighting!!!! we don't know if chloe and max actually broke up or not!!!"

USER 2: "im boycotting double exposure until they make pricefield canon again 😠"

USER 3: "NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY-"

USER 4 *a picture of one singular grain zoomed in from a blurry screenshot* omg guys its chloe

USER 5: "NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAXNOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX-"

USER 6: "lowkey safi and max should fuck"

USER 7: "somebody please read rhe comics before complaining it makes more sense after you read the comics please just read the comics i beg you guys read the comics please"

USER 8: *a very detailed explanation on why PriceField are not just high school sweethearts and actually just long distance or not the primary focus of the game*

USER 9: "im not playing double exposure because chloe and max are broken up😠😠😠"

USER 10: "NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX"

USER 11: *showing a clip of a random blonde girl from a single scene* omg guys it's rachel

USER 12: "btw DONTNOD is underfire for terrible working conditions and it's very very likely the issues were from the work on this game so we probably should acknowledge the shit the workers went through and not give DONTNOD money because of it"

(EDIT: the info on this is wrong. DONTNOD isn't the one underfire, DECKNINE is. This point stands regardless; support the workers not the mega corp, no matter how much you like LiS)

USER 13: "NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT MY MAX NOT-"

one thing about me is that i will hold a grudge against game studios for 10+ years and it will most likely be carried with me to my grave
