Trivia[]
- The cover art for the Soundtrack CD is based on the cover of a mix tape Max made for Chloe when she was 12. You can find it in a drawer in Alternative Chloe's room in "Dark Room".
- There is an extremely rare Vinyl version.[1] Only a few these vinyls were created as promotional materials for Life is Strange, though (like the licensed soundtrack) they aren't sold commercially. Originally it was part of an official give away, later you could win it during Square Enix livestreams and it was available as a prize during some fan contest like the Life is Strange Fans community's contests[2] and other giveaways[3]. You can only get it as a Reward on the official Square Enix shop by using EPts you receive for buying Square Enix products.
