📖 Story: The Final Chapter

Reunion is a direct sequel to Life is Strange: Double Exposure (2024).

The Setup: Max Caulfield is now a photography teacher at Caledon University. After returning from a weekend trip, she finds the campus engulfed in a destructive inferno. She barely escapes thanks to her rewind power.

Using a polaroid photograph, Max travels back three days to uncover the fire's origins and prevent the disaster.

Chloe's Return: Chloe's reappearance is a direct result of Max's timeline-merging actions in Double Exposure. Haunted by fragmented memories from a life she may not have lived, Chloe seeks Max's help.

Together, they must investigate the fire and make crucial decisions about Caledon's future. Choices from the original Life is Strange and Double Exposure will carry over.
