Choices and Consequences |
- This article is about Life is Strange: Before the Storm. For information on Life is Strange, see here. For information on Life is Strange 2, see here.
Choices and Consequences is a central gameplay element in Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The protagonist, Chloe Price, is presented with different choices in the form of available actions, dialogue options and optional interactions. The "All Seeing Eye" symbol will appear at the top of the screen after certain choices have been made indicating that "this action will have consequences" and, if it is a major choice, the scene will stop and time will freeze until the player makes their choice, playing a short sound effect immediately afterwards. Though not all actions, for example dialogue options, will have their consequences pointed out, as often several choices play together to create a certain outcome.
There also exists an "Intimacy_counter" variable for Chloe and Rachel's relationship which counts the decisions the player made[1] and a "CONVINCESERA" variable for convincing Sera to meet Rachel in the ending, which counts the dialogue options chosen by the player in the conversation with Sera at the mill.[2]
