About Life is Strange: Double Exposure
In “Life is Strange: Double Exposure”, Max Caulfield, now a photographer-in-residence at the renowned Caledon University, encounters a chilling mystery when she discovers her new friend, Safi, dead in the snow. Determined to save her, Max attempts to Rewind time—a power she hasn’t used in years. However, instead of reversing time, she opens a portal to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive but remains in danger. Max soon realizes that the murderer is set to strike again in both timelines, and only she has the ability to Shift between them to solve and prevent the impending crime.
This game serves as a direct sequel to the original Life is Strange game released in 2015. Players are introduced to Max’s evolved power that allows her to Shift between two parallel timelines. Additionally, the new Pulse ability offers a glimpse into the opposite timeline, enabling Max to overhear conversations on the other side—an invaluable tool for solving mysteries.
Through these abilities, players will navigate Max’s journey to solve the mystery of Safi’s murder. As players shift between the two timelines, they will encounter unique puzzles, complex social dynamics on campus, and uncover the myriad secrets of Caledon University.

“Life is Strange: Double Exposure” is available in three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate. Each edition offers various features and content, catering to the preferences of different players.
