This game is REAL!
When I first started the game I had kinda low expectations but after half an hour of playing it, I couldn’t stop. Everything from the commentary, to the soundtrack is spot on! As for the story it’s awesome that you get to be a part of it. You have the complete freedom to make the choices you want in extremely dire situations, like pulling a trigger or saving someone’s life! Also, it’ll make you think hardcore, to find solutions to some crazy problems. I really love how this game points out to the player what kind of morals they have, and how good they are finding solutions. Even though the game is virtual it’ll pull you in and make you feel like you’re really doing it in real life. I promise this game with all its five seasons is totally worth the price and will get you feeling like you’re on an emotional roller coaster. If you have a pretty boring life (like me) and want some crazy drama, this game will give it to you! I just finished it and I’m on my way to play the next “Life is Strange””Before the Storm”, and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. This game is REAL and you’re gonna love it! I promise. Just try it out ( the first season is free) and you’ll see what I mean!

Not Compatible with iPhone XR (FIXED)
I was really enjoying this game until I was unable to exit the journal.. I have seen some of the other reviews of other people with the newest iPhones, can not exit the journal. From looking at the dates from some of the comments, I figured that the developers would have done something to fix this issue by now.. OR at least made some sort of announcement that they were working on it. This is a really fun and unique game and I enjoyed playing, what little bit I could, but if I can’t even get out of the journal to proceed with the game, then there really isn’t any reason to keep the app on my device anymore. It’s a little sad and disappointing... Maybe the developers can fix it at some point and I will re-download, but they are going to lose a lot of potential customers with all the new iPhone users that can not play the game. Update: Thank you so much for addressing this issue.. I really enjoyed playing the game. I have changed my “2 stars” to 5! Thanks again

Wonderful Distraction
Just what I needed in these crazy times to distract myself when feeling stressed by the state of the world. It was a nice balance between something like Second Life or Animal Crossing which is way too involved for me with a whole social network and economy and something dull like The Sims with no plot or real engagement. You get some choice in the story while still being taken on a journey. The graphics are beautiful! I'm not big into games so maybe its normal, but I thought the attention to detail was incredible. I could see it being boring or silly to some people who like a faster pace and more mature characters. I was excited that you could do all sorts of things, sometimes mundane or unimportant like turn on music or take an unneccessary photo, other times integral to the plot. I was also happy the story and characters had a little edge and darkness. Was like a game version of an intriguing YA novel. Not to say adults cant enjoy it. Im in my early 30s. Hope to discover more games like this!
