There are games you play, and there are games that take up permanent residence in your brain. For me, Life is Strange is firmly the latter. From the moment I sat down to play, a little over a decade ago, I was absolutely absorbed in the story of Max Caulfield — photography student, reluctant time-traveler, and walking embodiment of anxiety.
I've followed this franchise with an almost embarrassing dedication ever since: every game, the graphic novels, and more than one conversation about temporal paradoxes that went on considerably too long.
