Narrative adventure with Max Caulfield and parallel realities

Life is Strange: Double Exposure reunites players with Max Caulfield, now a photographer-in-residence at a prestigious Vermont university. When her close friend Safi is murdered, Max discovers she can shift between two parallel timelines - one where Safi lives and one where she died. Use this power to investigate the murder, gather clues across both realities, and prevent the killer from striking again. With its signature emotional storytelling, meaningful choices, and the return of a beloved protagonist, Double Exposure weaves a mature mystery about friendship, loss, and second chances.
