  6. In this screenshot, the player can choose "how to react" rather "what to do" (e.g. getting away from that situation).

    We focused on expressing emotions rather than actions, leaving to player the freedom to choose how they feel about what is happening.

    Even though the player can also decide what to do in some moments, we preferred to invite them to choose for themselves, rather than picking a "right" decision.

  15. What better than listening to dungeon synth about goblins while writing dungeon stories about goblins? Though ours will be much more goofy. Love this:

  27. 🎮 Habe heute mit dem allerersten „Life is Strange“ angefangen - nachdem ich „True Colors“ durchgespielt habe, bin ich mega gespannt, wie alles begonnen hat. Den Schuldirektor hab ich schon mal angelogen… und kurz davor ein Leben gerettet.

    Irgendwelche Tipps?
    Welche Entscheidungen hast Du nie bereut?

  28. „Empathy is a power, not a weakness.“ - Alex Chen

    Gerade „Life is Strange: True Colors“ auf der #Nintendo #Switch beendet – und woah! Einige Momente haben mich emotional erwischt. Die Immersion: intensiv. Die Musik: wunderschön & berührend. Werde ich noch paar Tage darüber nachdenken…

    Jetzt frage ich mich: Lohnt sich der Blick zurück auf Teil 1 & 2? Wie habt ihr die Reihe erlebt?
