@@sarawilliams2900that level was a pain in the ass! Patience and timing are the key. Get to know the path/route each Jefferson, Nathan and the principal take and then shuffle around them accordingly. You can do it 😊
Idk if this was mentioned, but when walking the halls of blackwell, when max is listening to music you can look at posters and one says something along the linesof "i lost my tablet with all my dead cat photos on it please return " and at the end of the game when u are walking thru looking for the whale diner you can find a note on the ground that says "sorry for taking ur tablet i just saw cute cat photos and i really like cats i don't have any so i was jealous.
Oh I have a small thing I can share about LiS although it's more a detail than a secret: In Episode 1, Max realises that her camera is broken in the car at that specific moment because she was about to take a picture of Chloe's face framed by the window and bathed in sunlight. One of the first thing she thinks about after reuniting with Chloe is "damn, bestie's looking like an angel, I'd better take a pic". Hint's of David's repeated physical abuse are also found in his own phrasing: "You just keep pushing me" implies repetition.
Okay but her wanting to take a photo of Chloe! Love that so much! And checks out given the close up of Chloe we got as Max was admiring her. So much subtext! Thank you!
The idea that David has repeatedly hit Chloe before, is very speculative at most. Chloe's and David's comments are very ambiguous. So we can't really make that conclusion based on those comments alone. Also, there are several other factors suggesting that David has not done it before. I could go into relatively great detail here. But I want to keep my comment short. However, one example is Joyce. Since Joyce doesn’t even accept David talking too harshly, there is no way that she would be okay with David repeatedly hitting Chloe.
@@johanbatcron1206 Whether you take this as a work of fiction, where words are written in a very specific way (here to imply repetition) or if you just consider real life factors, the idea that he just suddenly up and raised his hand for the first and last time within the ten minutes you happen to be around both of them while he thinks they're alone is beyond ridiculous. Abusers abuse repeatedly. it's never a one time thing unless they've literally expressed both understanding of what exactly they're doing wrong as well as why and acknowledgement that it is in fact wrong which David hasn't. In fact LiS devs insisted so much on his behaviour that he runs the full gambit of a stereotypical serial abuser: Hitting Chloe just when he thinks they're alone, telling her that it's basically her fault she got hit, mocking her for thinking someone else will take her side an gaslight her into not seeking help.
The US flag Chole is using as a curtain is hanging upside down. According to the flag code, the blue field with the stars is supposed to hang at the upper left, regardless of if the flag is horizontal or vertical. She has it hanging with the stars on the lower right, exactly opposite. She might be doing it out of rebellion or to piss off David, the ex-soldier, who would know how to handle the flag correctly. However, when a ship flies its flag upside down it is an international symbol that the ship is in distress and in need of aid (not unlike Chloe.)
It was definitely on purpose!!!! In the bonus episode for “Before the storm” you see Chloe’s room, right before Max left for Seattle and William passed- the flags stars are in the top left corner, hanging horizontal. Then as an young adult- it’s reversed 👀👀
A note to 0:57 - In episode 5, Jefferson also tells Max that if she listened more, “[she] could’ve seen it coming”. Just found this out in my recent replay a couple days ago
“isn’t that too easy? Too obvious?”. The first time, you assume that he is referring to Arbus and how she does her photography. But now it is very clear that he is breaking the fourth wall when he says that. He is actually asking the player if his previous comment made it too obvious that he is the bad guy.
I’m so happy life is strange is being played again you get to see all the new fans and old come together and talk about Easter eggs and the different choices they made in this game and this video was so calming and relaxing to watch and I learned a ton so I definitely subscribed can’t wait to watch more videos keep it up
Yes! I feel the same way! Missed everyone being super hyped and unhinged about every minor detail we get about these games! Hella good to be back! Thank you for your support!
Oh WOW! Not only did I intervene every time to stop David from harassing Kate, but every playthrough I've seen either did as well, or took the photo but made different decisions as to David entering Chloe's room, because this is the first time I ever heard those scenarios where Chloe mentions having 'surveillance proof' about David's confrontation with Kate. So cool. New sub!! 💙
The door thing makes sense because I always wondered how it was so easy for Max and Victoria were able to break into someone else’s dorm and steal or sabotage stuff.
@@Moon_Punk You have a very good way of saying things, and your videos have good content. So thank YOU. In my opinion, there are many youtuber in the life is strange topic whom i don't get any valuable info from their videos. Yours are special, and good. Looking forward for more. I fell in love with Lis in 2015, and it has a special place in my heart since. I'm so happy the fandom is coming alive again. And looking forward for Max's new adventures and all your thoughts about it all! :)
I thought going into this video it would be for the entire game, but i cant believe i missed this much in just the first episode. I also thought i got a good amount but i clearly missed alot so good job!
A life is strange video that briefly mentions Alan Wake? Never thought 2 of my favorite games could be somehow connected, so instant subscribe thanks to that
The way your voice resembles Max’s 😍 and it’s so cool that after 10 years of being a fan of Lis and watching all Easter eggs videos, there is still new stuff to find. Thank you for such a great video! Looking forward to the next episodes. Btw, ‘Six Feet Under’ refers not only to the Nathan’s name, but to the plot as well. This series is pretty dark, and each episode explores the meaning of death through different stories. Basically it’s a perfect description of Nathan’s photography: dark, death-centered, but still deeply philosophical. Plus, ‘Six Feet Under’ may refer to Rachel’s grave. I’ve just realised it now 🤯
I think, many people noticed that before, but in the junkyard, near where Rachel was found, you can find a red/black flannel shirt. It looks very similar to Rachel's. I only noticed it the second time I played.
The coolest to me that I didn’t know about definitely has to be the Buffy license plate and Jax from Remember Me on her plant. Had no idea about either and I’m a big fan of both franchises!
Dude! In high school, I started reading Damasio's books (and Stéphane Beauverger, who I believe also worked on writing for Don't Nod at some point?), and played LiS communally over Twitch when my best friends and I ended up all over France for our first year of college. Today, I just finished playing it on my own. I'd never seen the wind signs! I'm getting two blasts from the past... And I thought I was crazy for hearing bits of conversations that hadn't played yet when using Max's powers... Thanks for this, I'm off to watch your videos on your other episodes now :D
Also now that I think about it (spoilers for La Horde lmao) it's particularly fitting that they chose to implement something from that book in particular (over La Zone du dehors) as an Easter egg, since it's the one in which most of the protagonists sacrifice themselves on the altar of their common quest, which ends up being a sort of loop. Sacrifice Arcadia Bay ending, iykyk.
I honestly loved the game especially in the last chapter when max goes through multiple realities to fix things and then has her nightmares only to make the ultimate sacrifice in the end ❤
RUclips Recommended I haven’t played this game in years. I had the 360 demo, PS3 and IOS version. I only remember completing episode 1 and watching the rest on RUclips. I recently watched Storymodebae’s play through. I don’t know much about the other games in the franchise yet.
Hello :) I’m pleasantly surprised that there were some details I didn’t know about! I’m especially impressed with Chloe’s and Max’s locker, Kate’s angel room number and Victoria possessing a signed photograph from Jefferson! Makes me wonder just how many more details and meanings are hidden in the game … I can’t believe Kate’s drawing got removed in the remaster :-( You mentioning the license plates makes me wonder if Double Exposure will continue with that tradition, since Life is Strange 2 and True Colors didn’t. I really like these small Easter Eggs, which is why I hope to see them again :) I think the only thing I personally missed in this list is the Blue Jay, considering its connection to Chloe, but other than that, I’m very satisfied with the chosen Easter Eggs :)
It's so cool to see how even after almost a decade, people are still discovering new things in these games! There are hundreds of carefully placed details in Life is Strange and I love seeing the inspirations behind them! As for the license plates, there were license plate references in Before the Storm, so it could be a nice throwback. The small, intricate details are the best. Yes! There were so many theories surrounding the blue jay! Thank you!
I'm a bit too lazy to go through all the other comments, but: secret dialogue is also featured during Max's nightmare in Polarized, specifically when she walks through the Blackwell halls. It is only discernible when Max rewinds. There are 9 different segments of dialogue. One of them is Samuel saying, "poor girl, nobody should vanish like that." There's also a series of lines between Daniel and Logan centering around Logan demanding money from Daniel.
I don't think the Thunderbirds are as complex as you make it out to be. A popular hockey team in Seattle is the Thunderbirds, which the team max was referring to was hockey.
Lol 16:38 I love the little jabs at French people. Your memes are too funny. I have returned to binge watch your videos in honor of the DE about to drop. October is the perfect time of year for this game I swear! My vacation starts the day of early release so I am getting caught up on LIS content before I filter social media for spoilers. Im hopeful at lot of what you stated here and then some will be addressed in DE!
One thing i noticed,max in the classroom is central with victoria to the left of her. When jefferson kidnaps max she is central again and when victoria is knocked out she is on the left of max again
I played life is strange at release, all of them now and the Double Exposure hype is so real right now! Ps. Great video! Consider me a new sub keep up the amazing work! I can tell so much care, passion, and research went into this. You’re appreciated thank you.
I have played LiS about 10 times but i still missed some of the secrets that you mentioned, great video! Btw, i want to share one, that i indeed believe to be, a secret. In the very last scene of the game, if you save Chloe, you see them driving out of Arcadia Bay. In one of the last images you can see a small upside down blue car that has been destryed by the storm, and a corpse covered by a red towel. I believe it to be Warren, since the car is basically the exact same model. Then when that scene appears, the car and the body have the focus of the scene for a couple of seconds, as like the developers wanted us to see that. This is not confirmed but i truly believe that to be true. Then Warren was one of the most important characters...
I’m replaying this with my fiancé right now loved this game and cried my heart out the first time I played this years ago can’t wait to do it again with my fiancé
Sharing your passion is such a beautiful thing, especially when it's with someone important to you. I hope that you both have a lovely time revisiting the game together!
Great video! I didn't see it mentioned and maybe it's too obvious, but for completeness, Kate's bunny being named Alice is a reference to Alice in Wonderland.
Chloe getting smacked is a big reason as to why i can't understand Chloe hate from fans and critic. she lost her dad at a formative time in her life, Max and her family moves the same week which wasn't max's fault just a crazy one two combo, Rachel lied to her about frank and eventually vanished out of nowhere, and had Stepfather who was legitimately a dick to her. I know they try to change his character in BTS but honestly that felt like a retcon to gain sympathy which i didn't because the hitting, surveillance around the house, baseless accusations against Kate, STILL HAPPENS. the one good thing he did was save Max, and kill Jefferson base on your choices
I never noticed that ALL of those license plates were references. 😅 Kinda seems unbelievable in-universe, but Don't Nod love their references. Captain Spirit had so much foreshadowing for LiS2 that it's also unbelievable Chris would've done so many things that resemble what later happens to Sean and Daniel, unless he secretly has the power of clairvoyance.
The only thing I don't fully understand in LiS. At least the first one, is how it was predicted as coming before her powers, and there's no real telling that because you used or over used the powers the storm hits. But then the town is fine in one of the endings anyway, no storm. But no real reason why.
I believe that the storm is a perfect example of chaos theory. More specifically, the butterfly effect. A small butterfly flapping its wings could, hypothetically, cause a tornado. By saving Chloe and therefore making a change to what was already determined, the storm occurred. Although Max did get a vision of the tornado before she got her powers, you could theorize that it was a vision of what was to come due to the change she made or even Max peering through one of the many timelines she created. Chloe being connected to the butterfly makes this all the more interesting!
Honestly I think they hint at a few things but none of them actually make sense if you really think them through. Either that's plot holes (which honestly, no game is perfect) or they keep it unclear on purpose
i never noticed that Daria quote in Chloe's room but honestly I am not at all surprised shes a Daria fan. I am a huge Daria fan myself and hloe is the character I relate to the most in games
Few things I like to add for episode 1: 1. Jefferson is actually sitting on the bench that has 'Rachel Amber' graffiti while lecturing. 2. The butterfly spirit of Chloe also implies the Butterfly Effect - the small choices we make impacts our lives. Here, it refers to how Max's choices with the rewind power can affect the Arcadia Bay and the people around her. 3. Throughout the episode, Max is wearing a Jane tshirt with a doe pic, a shoutout to Rachel. In fact, in almost all episodes Max's clothing is related with the game. Also, 'Jane Doe' is the female equivalent of John Doe and is used to refer an unidentified person in criminal cases, like missing persons case. 4. The Blackwell fountain has some lines like - 'Will my dad be OK?', 'Make me famous', 'THEN F*CK', 'Thanks for the coins, b!tches'. 5. Chloe's room has a line 'I Can't Sleep'. Also, the height meter that Chloe and Max used to measure their heights was striked-out with a 'Dad's No More'. Both of these implies how Chloe was affected after her dad's accident. If you check the bathroom, you will find fluoxetine tablets that are mostly used to treat depression and the blue hair dye. 6. In the game, you will notice at many places the line 'Hole to Another Universe'. Its seems to be the foreshadowing of parallel universe from Double Exposure. 7. Rachel Amber's name is also a reference to Amber alert. In 1996, a girl called Amber was kidnapped and murdered. After the incident, child abduction cases used an emergency alert system called Amber Alert to find the kids. Another victim of such child murder is Rachael Runyan. 8. Warren's flash drive has a folder named MAX 9. In Joyce's room, there's a book about surviving a apocalypse - a foreshadowing of the tornado in Arcadia Bay. And the diner she works is called 'Two Whales' and whales were found dead on the seashore in the upcoming episodes. 10. David's garage has food stocked up. As if he already knew about the upcoming tornado.
Sorry, but whales are a big part of Arcadia Bay's history, as a coastal fishing and tourism town. Whale watching trips are offered. David keeps the supplies in the garage because he's the type of person who likes to be prepared, like the people who build a bunker in their backyard. Because what good are the things in the garage if a tornado just blows the garage away?
Not only the clock go backwards when rewinding but also the clouds and the birds in the sky - at least in the original, don't know if it is still the case in the remaster.
It was foreshadowing future events, and I picked up on it right away, and it was clear max could possibly be his next target, , because he looked directly at max when he said it, most definitely sus
The list of LiS videos I’ve watched and there’s some in here I didn’t know! And I’ve played the game too many times according to my gamer friends haha. Please do the other episodes!!!
The locked dorm room door- It's always funny when a developer's "European-ness" gives itself away in tiny details like this. It happens in LiS2 as well, but one that really amuses me is in another game, Beyond Two Souls. At one point, Jodie says "I'm gonna go outside. I'm desperate for a pee." Americans don't talk this way, lol. Tell me Quantic Dream is French without telling me Quantic Dream is French. Anyway, this was cool! The reverse audio one are the types I really like. Didn't know that. (and omg what a voice you have!)
Wow, I was surprised to learn about a lot of details I haven't heard before. Favorite one was about the blue butterfly legend of it granting a wish, which I interpret as leading to unconsciously Max triggering the wish by wishing to prevent the shooting - maybe more specifically by a desire to have another chance where she would act instead of passively hiding in the corner during Nate and Chloes confrontation.
another detail is so blink and you miss it's crazy. And i think this is proof that LiS2 was wrong with saying that only, David, Max, Chloe, and Victoria were the only ones who confirmed to survive the storm. So right before Max leaves the bunker after David beats/kills Jefferson base on your choices, Max will grab her phone with the time reading 12:17pm. Which means that the Storm had became active somewhere in the time Max wakes up which was the morning which means that the Football Game didn't happen since that was slated to happen at 7pm. The storm being more vicious causing Fire and smoke to pollute the air making you think it's nighttime. anyways, you might be asking why Warren and Alissa were in the town, well given how Max leaves in the middle of the day to hang with chloe and even stays the night one time, i assume that Warren and Alissa were both in their lunch period when the storm had activated. So why do I think more ppl survived? well, basically because of Blackwell Building and Dorms and the Hospital being brick build building and those are typically more secured in times like that. which means to me, if i didn't see any studen in the town by chapter 5 that means they are most likely alive since a student would be in the dorm, or class, or in Kate's case, in the hospital. that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it

It's so cool to see how even after almost a decade, people are still discovering new things in these games! There are hundreds of carefully placed details in Life is Strange and I love seeing the inspirations behind them!
As for the license plates, there were license plate references in Before the Storm, so it could be a nice throwback. The small, intricate details are the best.
Yes! There were so many theories surrounding the blue jay! Thank you!
Great Video!
Thank you!
Lovely video, thank you!! I am amazed that these were just from ep 1... gosh haha, so heavily packed Easter Eggs, literally secret details
Thank you for watching! And ikr?? So many details to find! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!
I'm a bit too lazy to go through all the other comments, but: secret dialogue is also featured during Max's nightmare in Polarized, specifically when she walks through the Blackwell halls. It is only discernible when Max rewinds. There are 9 different segments of dialogue. One of them is Samuel saying, "poor girl, nobody should vanish like that."
There's also a series of lines between Daniel and Logan centering around Logan demanding money from Daniel.
I don't think the Thunderbirds are as complex as you make it out to be. A popular hockey team in Seattle is the Thunderbirds, which the team max was referring to was hockey.
Please do all the other episodes! Please!
PLEASE DO ÉPISODE 2 tysm for this video I love it
Honestly, your voice is very soothing❤❤
I love your channel and the topics you raise😊
Thank you! LIS fans are eating so good as of late! More to come! ❤
Lol 16:38
I love the little jabs at French people. Your memes are too funny.
I have returned to binge watch your videos in honor of the DE about to drop.
October is the perfect time of year for this game I swear!
My vacation starts the day of early release so I am getting caught up on LIS content before I filter social media for spoilers.
Im hopeful at lot of what you stated here and then some will be addressed in DE!
When I saw the pictures of Kate and Rachel and then Rachel's body in the junk yard made me sick to my stomach
One thing i noticed,max in the classroom is central with victoria to the left of her.
When jefferson kidnaps max she is central again and when victoria is knocked out she is on the left of max again
I played life is strange at release, all of them now and the Double Exposure hype is so real right now!
Ps. Great video! Consider me a new sub keep up the amazing work! I can tell so much care, passion, and research went into this. You’re appreciated thank you.
I have played LiS about 10 times but i still missed some of the secrets that you mentioned, great video! Btw, i want to share one, that i indeed believe to be, a secret. In the very last scene of the game, if you save Chloe, you see them driving out of Arcadia Bay. In one of the last images you can see a small upside down blue car that has been destryed by the storm, and a corpse covered by a red towel. I believe it to be Warren, since the car is basically the exact same model. Then when that scene appears, the car and the body have the focus of the scene for a couple of seconds, as like the developers wanted us to see that. This is not confirmed but i truly believe that to be true. Then Warren was one of the most important characters...
I’m replaying this with my fiancé right now loved this game and cried my heart out the first time I played this years ago can’t wait to do it again with my fiancé
Sharing your passion is such a beautiful thing, especially when it's with someone important to you. I hope that you both have a lovely time revisiting the game together!
Lots of dorms to lock from the inside. If you forget your key, you have to call security.
ALAN WAKE MENTIONED IN A LIS VIDEO?????? I love this
LET'S GOOOO
Great video! I didn't see it mentioned and maybe it's too obvious, but for completeness, Kate's bunny being named Alice is a reference to Alice in Wonderland.
this was great we def need videos for the other episodes as well
Glad you enjoyed the video! Looking forward to sharing more!
Chloe getting smacked is a big reason as to why i can't understand Chloe hate from fans and critic. she lost her dad at a formative time in her life, Max and her family moves the same week which wasn't max's fault just a crazy one two combo, Rachel lied to her about frank and eventually vanished out of nowhere, and had Stepfather who was legitimately a dick to her. I know they try to change his character in BTS but honestly that felt like a retcon to gain sympathy which i didn't because the hitting, surveillance around the house, baseless accusations against Kate, STILL HAPPENS. the one good thing he did was save Max, and kill Jefferson base on your choices
definitely just earned a new subscriber
Love this LIS is definitely one of my all time favs 🤠
“and they were lockermates” lol
I never noticed that ALL of those license plates were references.
😅 Kinda seems unbelievable in-universe, but Don't Nod love their references.
Captain Spirit had so much foreshadowing for LiS2 that it's also unbelievable Chris would've done so many things that resemble what later happens to Sean and Daniel, unless he secretly has the power of clairvoyance.
Life is Strange to be fair!
Great video! Has a lot of stuff nobody else mentions!
im replaying the game & thank you for this insight ... im not sure how i want to play in this play through
The only thing I don't fully understand in LiS. At least the first one, is how it was predicted as coming before her powers, and there's no real telling that because you used or over used the powers the storm hits.
But then the town is fine in one of the endings anyway, no storm. But no real reason why.
I believe that the storm is a perfect example of chaos theory. More specifically, the butterfly effect. A small butterfly flapping its wings could, hypothetically, cause a tornado. By saving Chloe and therefore making a change to what was already determined, the storm occurred. Although Max did get a vision of the tornado before she got her powers, you could theorize that it was a vision of what was to come due to the change she made or even Max peering through one of the many timelines she created. Chloe being connected to the butterfly makes this all the more interesting!
Honestly I think they hint at a few things but none of them actually make sense if you really think them through. Either that's plot holes (which honestly, no game is perfect) or they keep it unclear on purpose
I always thought Nathans license plate stood for sex offender 😂
Great details and nice video! Btw you sound a bit like Miss Mina Oh 😁
You have a great voice! Loved the video
i never noticed that Daria quote in Chloe's room but honestly I am not at all surprised shes a Daria fan. I am a huge Daria fan myself and hloe is the character I relate to the most in games
Awesome video
Awesome pfp
@@Moon_Punk thank you 😊 found it while saving some lis stuff on Pinterest lol should be on Google as well
Hope you'll make another video with more easter eggs!
Few things I like to add for episode 1:
1. Jefferson is actually sitting on the bench that has 'Rachel Amber' graffiti while lecturing.
2. The butterfly spirit of Chloe also implies the Butterfly Effect - the small choices we make impacts our lives. Here, it refers to how Max's choices with the rewind power can affect the Arcadia Bay and the people around her.
3. Throughout the episode, Max is wearing a Jane tshirt with a doe pic, a shoutout to Rachel. In fact, in almost all episodes Max's clothing is related with the game. Also, 'Jane Doe' is the female equivalent of John Doe and is used to refer an unidentified person in criminal cases, like missing persons case.
4. The Blackwell fountain has some lines like - 'Will my dad be OK?', 'Make me famous', 'THEN F*CK', 'Thanks for the coins, b!tches'.
5. Chloe's room has a line 'I Can't Sleep'. Also, the height meter that Chloe and Max used to measure their heights was striked-out with a 'Dad's No More'. Both of these implies how Chloe was affected after her dad's accident. If you check the bathroom, you will find fluoxetine tablets that are mostly used to treat depression and the blue hair dye.
6. In the game, you will notice at many places the line 'Hole to Another Universe'. Its seems to be the foreshadowing of parallel universe from Double Exposure.
7. Rachel Amber's name is also a reference to Amber alert. In 1996, a girl called Amber was kidnapped and murdered. After the incident, child abduction cases used an emergency alert system called Amber Alert to find the kids. Another victim of such child murder is Rachael Runyan.
8. Warren's flash drive has a folder named MAX
9. In Joyce's room, there's a book about surviving a apocalypse - a foreshadowing of the tornado in Arcadia Bay. And the diner she works is called 'Two Whales' and whales were found dead on the seashore in the upcoming episodes.
10. David's garage has food stocked up. As if he already knew about the upcoming tornado.
Sorry, but whales are a big part of Arcadia Bay's history, as a coastal fishing and tourism town. Whale watching trips are offered.
David keeps the supplies in the garage because he's the type of person who likes to be prepared, like the people who build a bunker in their backyard. Because what good are the things in the garage if a tornado just blows the garage away?
I love this!
11:01 That theory makes sense cuz Chloe's middle name is Elizabeth!!
Not only the clock go backwards when rewinding but also the clouds and the birds in the sky - at least in the original, don't know if it is still the case in the remaster.
Love this detail! Gotta check for more differences between the original and the remastered.
I suspected Jefferson from the start after that statement
Yeah, Jeff has always been sus. Not to mention the pics around his classroom and the showcase on campus
It was foreshadowing future events, and I picked up on it right away, and it was clear max could possibly be his next target, , because he looked directly at max when he said it, most definitely sus
Wonderful job.
Thank you!
This was cool. Found out a lot of stuff I didn't know about.
"fire walk with me" is scratched into the mirror in the diner bathroom
The list of LiS videos I’ve watched and there’s some in here I didn’t know! And I’ve played the game too many times according to my gamer friends haha. Please do the other episodes!!!
jefferson's foreshadowing is so fuking creepy dude.. i swear i was in actual shock when he first appeared in the junkyard. its makes my skin crawl :/
3:58 Morpho Diddy-us?
Its crazy how much is in this game. Its probably why it got so much recgonition when it was first released.
I love your videos so much ❤ keep going
Thank you so much! ❤
The locked dorm room door- It's always funny when a developer's "European-ness" gives itself away in tiny details like this. It happens in LiS2 as well, but one that really amuses me is in another game, Beyond Two Souls. At one point, Jodie says "I'm gonna go outside. I'm desperate for a pee." Americans don't talk this way, lol. Tell me Quantic Dream is French without telling me Quantic Dream is French.
Anyway, this was cool! The reverse audio one are the types I really like. Didn't know that. (and omg what a voice you have!)
You just do the best LiS content ... thx for that
Thank you for watching! :)
Okay, the way you speak half of the time in this video kinda reminds me of how Max kinda talks
Why was the drawing removed in the remaster?
Wow, I was surprised to learn about a lot of details I haven't heard before. Favorite one was about the blue butterfly legend of it granting a wish, which I interpret as leading to unconsciously Max triggering the wish by wishing to prevent the shooting - maybe more specifically by a desire to have another chance where she would act instead of passively hiding in the corner during Nate and Chloes confrontation.
My exact interpretation as well! Another chance with Chloe. A second chance to make things right, to be there when she needed her most.
fire game just finished first play thru
15:22 How should someone know this detail
keep up the good works we need all five episodes easter eggs
another detail is so blink and you miss it's crazy. And i think this is proof that LiS2 was wrong with saying that only, David, Max, Chloe, and Victoria were the only ones who confirmed to survive the storm. So right before Max leaves the bunker after David beats/kills Jefferson base on your choices, Max will grab her phone with the time reading 12:17pm. Which means that the Storm had became active somewhere in the time Max wakes up which was the morning which means that the Football Game didn't happen since that was slated to happen at 7pm. The storm being more vicious causing Fire and smoke to pollute the air making you think it's nighttime. anyways, you might be asking why Warren and Alissa were in the town, well given how Max leaves in the middle of the day to hang with chloe and even stays the night one time, i assume that Warren and Alissa were both in their lunch period when the storm had activated. So why do I think more ppl survived? well, basically because of Blackwell Building and Dorms and the Hospital being brick build building and those are typically more secured in times like that. which means to me, if i didn't see any studen in the town by chapter 5 that means they are most likely alive since a student would be in the dorm, or class, or in Kate's case, in the hospital. that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it
