  • With the announcement of Double Exposure, the new Life is Strange title, there are a lot of questions surrounding Chloe Price and where she is. With Max Caulfield as the protagonist of the new upcoming title, will Chloe make an appearance or cameo? What happened to her if you decided to sacrifice Arcadia Bay? Will her and Max reunite?

    I just hope that the picture of Chloe isn’t the only appearance she makes, because that will be such a letdown. We know they’re together in Life is Strange 2 if Chloe is kept alive. Hopefully she’s voiced by Ashly, because she is Chloe to me.

    I think she'll be in text communication with Max if you tell Safi you sacrificed Arcadia Bay & will show up in the game at least a couple times, probably with Ashly Burch voicing her.
    But she won't play a central role in the game, as this is advertised as a Max Caulfield adventure.
    I think Max might visit Away too, maybe in Chapter 3, and we'll get to see David, Karen, and Daniel. And more convo options will help determine which LiS2 ending Daniel comes from. (Sean won't appear.)
    Of course, this is just rampant speculation.

    At the moment, I think Deck Nine, Square-Enix and possibly Ashly Burch are keeping quiet about Chloe because they want us to be surprised when she makes an appearance. But who knows? Maybe she'll only appearance in the photos or conversations? Maybe she'll make an appearance in a phone/video call? Or maybe she'll make an appearance in the last episode kind of like David did in Life is Strange 2 or how Michael J Fox made his cameo appearance in Back to the Future the Game?
    We'll have to wait and see...

    Also, horrible question options for Max. She can be subtle and say "Just my favourite pirate", or be honest and say "That's Chloe, we're always together, even when we're apart. I broke the fabric of time and space to save her". Safi might respond with a blank face, and say "That's a metaphor, right?" Max would change the subject. :)

      Dont forget that in LiS games, especially the D9 ones, the sentences you read at the choices frustratingly often dont portray what the character will actually say when you click them. You can almost literally have choice between "sounds awesome" and "no, i dont think so".. and have the character say "oh, i guess.. if you want to.." and "are you out of your mind, no way that insane!" and be sitting there "thats not how i wanted to put it!!"
      So... she might say something like you describe when you pick the choice.

      Putting stuff i've commented before aside. Literally she's traumatized to where she hasn't spoken about it to ANYONE in 10 whole years. You don't just forget trauma. She broke down after the funeral, i imagine, and even vowed(granted said vow is broke now) to never use her power again. You can love someone but be traumatized about what happened to them.

    Me personally i THINK when safi asked about why max is carrying a photo of chloe in her wallet and why we saw a photo of chloe in the sneak peak is because thats probably the gameplay we have been given if we chose to sacrifice chloe. I personally do think that if theres two different timelines within life is strange double exposure depending on our choices of the first game there will be somewhat drastically different outcomes ( well atleast id hope so ). I believe if that is the case theyre only show-casing the sacrifice chloe outcome because they probably want to keep it a secret and have it be a massive surprise when we actually play the game. Maybe im wrong or maybe im not, cannot wait to see

    • @Kira-zy2ro

      thats my guess and hope too, that they are deliberately keeping the Chloe situation vague to create hype and anticipation, as this is THE question, especially when the Bae/pricefield part of the fandom is very vocal and.. activistic, almost as much as the "chloe sucks/bay all the way" crowd.
      Its basically like christians praising jesus in every science topic and pedantic atheists trolling every religious topic lol.
      I doubt whether they will be as dumb to risk alienating a big part of the fanbase, especially now they gave part of the players a head start on playing the game, so most people will know the answer from them before buying. I wouldnt buy a forced bay/Max&chloe separated game and i think im not alone in that. And they know it too...

      @@Kira-zy2ro I completely agree with you on that. I do believe that they wouldn't be stupid enough to not bring chloe back, we know for certain now that neither ending is canonised which is a MASSIVE RELIEF. There's always the possibility they won't bring chloe back in a big way and she is just that, a mention. But I highly doubt that's the case. Like you said, they're giving access to players 2 weeks earlier so them not bringing her back will turn the rest of us off from the game. Although I have a gut feeling chloe will maybe be mentioned or hinted throughout episodes 1 and 2 then make an actual appearance for the rest of the game in episode 3. I don't know if that's how it'll pan out, I hope not. But I see them doing that because that's when the full game is available, like let us play the first two episodes and think she's not gonna show up but then bam introduce her somehow some way in the 3rd episode 😂 it's all speculation at the end of the day but it'll be interesting to see how this all pans out. 29TH OF OCTOBER COULDN'T COME ANY SOONER!!!

      As to Rachel? well if we go parallel universe, anything is possible. Though the girl pointed out in one video discussing the trailer (dont know if it was this one, seen too many lol) as possibly rachel.. was safi as far as i could see.
      But, i wrote some fanfic myself where Max brings rachel back after a lot of drama, and if i can write it, so can they, i didnt even need to enhance max powers to do it so with that its even easier :)
      I am all for Rachel not dying (not that im a big Amberprice fan, but hey the poor girl doesnt have to be dead to have pricefield!)
      Anyhow when i played LiS1 i never got the impression Chloe and Rachel had a romance. More that Chloe imprinted on Rachel as her lifeline when she lost everything and max ghosted her. I get that D9 couldnt resist adding the romance option in BTS, and i dont dislike it being in there in the least, its just that the narrative in LiS1 doesnt really show it to me.

    During the live stream, the developers from Deck Nine revealed, that Max has been living a kind of "nomadic" life, seeking abandoned and desolate places to photograph. Maybe, if you chose to keep Chloé alive, she was part of that journey, and is simply waiting for Max' residency at Caledon University to end, and resume traveling with her? Maybe she is staying with David during that time, who knows? The possibilites are endless 🙂 Anyway... I know people will hate me for this but... #BayOverBae SORRY NOT SORRY 🤣

Chloe has a tendency to lash out on people close to her (something she inherited from Rachel I think) and Max,before her rewind abilities was always running from any confrontation. With rewind gone I can see Chloe making Max feel guilty everytime Arcadia Bay /Joyce comes up in a conversation and eventually Max will bounce

    I think if Chloe is not dead she will make a return and if she is dead she will pop up in the parallel universe to help Max solve the murder of her friend. It's clear Max still has feelings for her when you see he slump back down on her bed after looking at the photo. I would like to think there still together but puit the relationship on hold while Max is away on campus. The dream is to have Ashley back but Rhianna did a good job with Chloe there where times where she sounded just like her. Of course Ashley helped her in getting into Chloes mind.Even if it say has 5 episodes which is unlikely maybe 3 like BTS and maybe Chloe will come back with Max in a bonus game. I keep checking Rhianna DeVries and Ashley's wiki pages to seee if there is credit for LIS Double Exposure nothing yet but that don't mean to say it wont in the near future. So many theories flying around and it's only been confirmed a week ago. Less then 5 months of wondering.

So I hope my wishes are taken into account too and I can play it without that being forced onto me because it wasn’t canon after all. My Max chose to save the town, and my Chloe agreed with that decision and I’m happy with that and it’s be weird if suddenly she came back and Max was a lesbian because again that wasn’t canon.

    You could only romance Warren in Life is Strange 1.
    I don't mind the ship but that is more fanmade then actually canon, no?
    In 1, you could only be best friends who kissed once as a dare and a joke. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities for them to be romantic but that was not an option in the first game. Warren was though.
    If Max was romantic with Warren in the first game, then that should be something the new game references, even with the LiS 1 time reset, I doubt a Max in love with Warren wouldn't try to get with him again. I know that Warren is a controversial character but if they are making a continuation of the first game then they need to address him despite the fandom.

      There is a journal entry a lot of people miss in Life is Strange 1 after the nightmares Max has. She admits that Chloe is more than her best friend & that the nightmares about Chloe being cruel affected her a lot. Saying word for word “Is that the power of friendship… or love?”
      I feel like Chloe is definitely a romance option, as well as Warren. It’s not just about being able to kiss her, even if it is just a dare, but their interactions there after cross the line of platonic friendship in my opinion, it’s just subtle :) I mean, if you choose to sacrifice her, based on the choices you made throughout the game, Max & Chloe share another kiss at the end, which kinda solidified Chloe as a romance option for me

A timeline where he doesn’t have to die like the others. That’s all I could ask for. He was dealing with mental health issues as well as substance abuse and neglect. To top it off a monster prayed on him… this game always gave me chills

    the developers for DE, saying that you can start with this game without playing the other is such a slap in the face to the dedicated players who's have been waiting about 9-10 years?

      that doesnt have to mean much. You can play LiS2 and TC: wavelengths without LiS1 too, when you get the choice you can just go "whatever..." or try both. It mostly means that the previous game isnt referenced in such a way that you need to have knowledge from LiS1 to understand whats going on.

      @@Owen01 I get what you mean, but none of what happened in LiS1 has to have much influence on what the player needs to know to play DE.
      The only real thing is the determinant choices about the ending of LiS1 and that could simply be a few questions "did you play LiS1? If yes: what did you choose, If no: do you want to make these choices or do we randomize?"
      For the rest, even if they would, for example have Max get a call from Kate marsh to talk about some stuff and there is some reminiscing about the past, it can be significant to both: Nostalgia for returning players, some background info and character deepening for new players. All depends on how good the writers are.
      I look at it as it is in LiS1.. LiS1 is also a continuation of a story, just one we never got to see: the story about Chloe losing her dad and max moving away and somehow losing contact. When we meet Chloe in her truck (for max it is a reunion, for the player it is the first time) we have to pick from 4 options to say to Chloe when she asks wtf max didnt contact her.
      We make that choice without any knowledge of why exactly it happened, we basically get to pick the past we feel is appropriate. We can be sassy to her, or we can ask understanding that max had it hard too, etc,
      The same thing would apply to new DE players who dont know the first story. They will just pick what they feel is correct or what path seems most dramatic to them.
      The choice you see in the trailer "She was a high school friend/She was a high school sweetheart" can be made pure on what sounds interesting, just like the "excuse" given to Chloe in the truck is. No pre existing knowledge needed, it just makes the choice deeper and profound if you do have the knowledge, otherwise its just the player shaping their version of Max and making a backstory.
      A LiS2 player who never played LiS1 could just pick either bay or bae and never know the difference. They can hear david on the phone and think "ah hes talking to his daughter, how cute" or see "oh he lost his daughter, that sucks!" and a LiS1 player will be sobbing at the screen lol. In the same way, the talk Sean has with the blogger when the look out over Arcadia Bay is still profound even if we dont know LiS1. Thats simply the mark of good storytelling.

    Thanks for being open-minded about the possibility of Chloe and Max separating and moving on with life. A lot of fans are, understandably, too emotionally invested in that relationship to accept that very real possibility. As much as I would love for Chloe to make a return as a major character in DE (that would so cool!), I’m happy to give it a chance regardless

    I would have it start like this
    Safia: So youre from Oregon but what town was it again? I remember you saying it was small?
    Max: Uhh yeah it was called Arcaida Bay.
    Safia: Aa thats right. You know I remember seeing some article about it, now that you mention the name. But I don't remember what it was about.
    Max: Choice 1: It was probably about how the most prestigious Highschool there had one of the most horrid predators as it's photography teacher. And I helped bust him.
    Choice 2: It was probably covering the massive tornado that decimated the whole town, and killed most of the population.
    (More dialog
    Safi: Well who is the blue haired girl in your wallet?
    Max: You snooped?!
    Safi: Stop deflecting! Who is she!
    (Max chooses just friends or high-school sweethearts)
    Choice 1:
    Max: And she was unfortunately shot in the bathrooms by some snobby rich boy.
    Safi: What?! Oh my god im so sorry Max. Was he caught?!
    Max: Yes right after it happened. His trial took place a few years ago.
    (More dialog)
    Choice 2:
    Max: And she and I traveled everywhere together after that storm for a bit. She lost her mother but became really close to her stepfather. They hated eachother but finally made amends about a year after the storm. They are still in touch.
    Safi: Well are YOU still in touch with her?
    Max: Yeah totally. She just wasn't able to come out here with me of course. We just wanted different things. We decided that although we were splitting ways, we'd still remain friends. (The previous line works for both options being high-school sweet hearts or just friends) She actually recently started a band and they are kinda on the rise!

    Life is Strange was never about Chloe price. It was about Max (a friend) abusing a power bestowed upon her unknowingly, starting a butterfly effect by abusing said powers, and now has to fix the very thing she broke with the thing she abused in the first place. They've even confirmed so that sacrificing Chloe was the canon ending. (on the off chance they change the game to appeal the angry gays) Even if she's in the game? Max has a ring on her finger. She HAS NEW LOVE INTERESTS! It's 10 years, and Chloe in and of herself IS a narcissistic and selfish character. She doesn't even show any empathy for her actions until after she's faced the repercussions. Not blaming her trauma either, because you can't blame her for acting that way; but you can't completely pin everything morally. Subjectively you don't just treat people negatively like she does.
    She's not the heart, as i've mentioned, and i'm glad they're focusing on the REAL direction they want. Instead of going onto different storylines. We're getting 3 games, icluding double exposure, a set of CANON comics, and we're finally getting answers! plus possible what if games (like if rachel lived). Be happy with what we have, and just simply enjoy the ride! they're going all in on LiS. I think with the t.v show in the works too? It's gonna be awesome! there's no need to be negatively constructive or negatively judgemental of a game that hasn't even come out yet. JUST BECAUSE we never saw a character who canonically (confirmed from a dev) dies. Even if Max saved chloe she's constantly in danger because of timeline mess. the universe TRIES to kill her and everything that doesn't belong. It's cool either way, but don't be upset at a developer for picking a direction just because YOUR character isn't in it. Be happy for the story that's unfolding.

      You lost me in the first 7 words of your comment. Life is Strange absolutely is about Chloe, just as much as it Max. Without Chloe, Max likely would not have discovered her powers. Also, Chloe has an entire game, so i disagree. They did not confirm a canon ending either. God forbid people have critiques these days, can’t stop people getting upset i guess

      I haven’t said anything negative about the new game. Whether Chloe is in it or not, it won’t change my opinion on the entire project. It’d definitely be cool to see her or there be a cameo, but if not, nbd for me! It’s fun to theorise about the many possibilities of the directions this game could take. LiS1 may be about Max, but Chloe is a big part of the story and at this stage, she’s a big part of Max’s character from what we know, regardless of what ending you chose.
