Seriously. I cried after before the storm because I knew what came next. I didn't quite feel right for a couple days after playing it. I loved Rachel and I loved her relationship with Chloe and coming back to this scene after that game adds new layers of grief felt for these characters.
The Yuri Dopted Rachel didn’t love Chloe or at least not enough to be loyal and truthful with her, but she’s such a likable character most people would fall for her that’s how she got what she wanted by taking advantage of people with her personality and beauty. Honestly she probably would’ve ended up like her mother they have very similar characteristics especially with needing to “escape”. She still didn’t deserve to die though.
@@desirae1986 i think rachel really did loved chloe, but rachel was like her mother and was always looking for escape. even chloe's love wasn't enough for her, she had drugs and getting away from arcadia bay above chloe.
@@peterpan.2373 Yes i agree kind of I don’t think she completely used chloe I think there was some feeling there but regardless her main concern was getting out of Arcadia bay no matter who she did it with which is why she had multiple relationships with people who could give her that outing
I knew it since before I played.... why did this break my heart so badly...? Not to mention both voice actors legit cried during this, Chloe's actor is actually sobbing
@@Taliyahpoof Ashly Burch. Here's a story she wrote about this scene, and why she was actually crying. It hurts to read so much. www.ashlyburch.com/blog/2017/12/20/the-boy-in-the-well
I feel sad that's she dead but do you all believe that Rachel use Chloe & wasn't truly bi or lesbian & she just went & kiss her so she can go away with Chloe? What do you all think? In the end of before the storm, I believe she love her but she really wanted to leave & go to L.A or New York but she just kinda hide from Chloe so she can use drugs & probably leave the city of one of them
Eremikashipper 4ever MEEE THEY DID RACHEL SO DIRTY LAST SCENCE AFTER CREDITS OMG THE MISSED PHONE CALLS AND JEFFERSON TAKING THE PHOTOS OMG I DROPPED TO TE FLOOR CRYING HARDER THAN EVER
@LDB Yes. I am aware seeing Chloe discover it was sad. Thank you for the much needed criticism. I would have never known without your help. I sure will think before I type next time. Is that what you wanna hear? 😂
@LDB I didn't even know there was a right and a wrong in this situation. I just think you're taking it a lil too seriously and a lil too far and I have no idea what you expect 😂
“i loved her so much how could she be dead.” same chloe same. rachel and her were so in love. the doe/deer or wtv at the end bro just proves how much rachel didn’t wanna leave chloe behind. i can’t stop crying.
The exit was always their plan. Neither of them were happy there. It appeared as Rachel was dragging her along but neither of them really knew what to do.
@@Casey420 Rachel was in a relationship with Frank, Chloe loved Rachel. But Rachel also loved Chloe. It's not quite clear whether in a romantic way or not, that's ambiguous. You can love more people at once, monogamy ain't some default biology setting, it's a choice. It's irrelevant either way, because they loved each other one way or another. It's not bs, it's just sadly realistic.
"What kind of world does this?" The kind that deserves to be wiped off the map. Chloe suffered so much heartbreak, pain, and loss throughout the games that thinking back to this scene alone erased any doubts about which ending I was going with. Captain Bluebeard Escaped the Bay.

I once read an article written by Chloe’s voice actor where she describes her experience performing this scene. She, herself, experienced an intense loss, and she bottled it up until she began performing Chloe’s breakdown. At that moment, all of the pain and shock of her personal loss slammed into her, and she broke down, only to use those emotions to later give this stunning performance. After reading that article, I never watched this scene the same again. LiS is one of my favorite games of all time, and that article made me respect the voice actors that much more. May we all find some sort of peace in the pains we all feel someday. ❤️
The feeling of dread in this scene was intense to say the least, knowing what they were going to find but desperately hoping it wouldn't be...this scene was so devastating and heart breaking.
The "Rachel?" Gets me every time. That and the honestly realistic reaction from Chloe... Finding someone you care about decaying like that... I'd puke too
The puke was most likely a gag reflex from the smell as I've heard decaying flesh has a smell so strong that it's common to cause vomiting. But that doesn't mean she isn't strongly affected by it being Rachel.
It was a realistic reaction as the VA actually cried from a loss in her life a few years prior. When she read those lines she broke and actually let the emotion out, giving us such a mesmerizing performance.
God damn did this scene make me cry. My heart always shatters when Chloe tearfully says “…Rachel? Oh no, please not her…” And “I loved her so much. How can she be dead? What kind of world does this? Who does this?” That just rips into the heart
It's 6AM. I haven't slept all night. I was about to go to sleep when an AMAZING idea popped into my little brain "Hmm... I wonder if Max and Chloe found Rachel? I'm sure they did and now everyone is happy! Oh look!! I found the video.. Let's watch it!" And now my whole day ahead is fucked up.
Real heartache. The voice actor for Chloe lost her boyfriend and was sobbing in the recording studio while doing her lines for this scene, as she knew how Chloe felt. She talks about it in one of her blog posts.
In my first time playing it i was actually holding my tears really well until i saw the deer, honestly there is something about watching it looking down and vanishing that makes me burst out in tears. Hell of game.
I was 17 when I first saw this scene, when LiS came out. Since then I’ve buried a 17 yo friend lost to suicide as well as losing my father very young + other close family. The absolutely raw and REAL grief her VA poured into this scene is something I appreciate now in a way I never could before. Chloe is such a dear character to me; the deep hurt masked with anger and bitterness to lock away and shield the part of you that’s still bleeding out inside even after all that time… it’s so real, it’s like seeing myself reflected back. Grief consumes and it strangles and it twists you into something unrecognizable.
This scene made my stomach hurt, no joke. This emotionally ruined me for like a two weeks, just how the creators made this scene has something that made me feel sick. Maybe it was knowing things like this actually happen, or after playing before the storm? I don't know but this scene really got all my crap mixed up. Jesus, when I played this bit for the first time I had to take a damn break. I can't believe how long it's been since I've been to the good ol' Arcadia bay.
The other sad part was the junk yard was her escape her own slice of freedom her second home .. and now it’s become a place that will hurt her just like everywhere else’s
Going back to this after I played through Life is Strange (trying to go back and find all the photos/achievements) I wanted to see where Rachel’s body was the first time Max went to the Junkyard in episode one: Out of Time. I realized that you see the doe again (Rachel’s spirit) standing over where she was buried. Then it runs off…plus Max is wearing a shirt with a doe on it during this scene. It’s all…just so sad. Especially when Max and Chloe dig her up, and the doe is shown again in the background. It bows it’s head almost like Rachel herself is crying right there with them, with Max and Chloe 💔 TLDR: Rachel’s spirit symbolized as a doe (a female deer) shows up multiples times throughout the game. It can be found on clothing, jewelry and bathroom stalls. Max sees the doe for the first time in the junkyard, standing where Rachel is buried. 💔
Wait a second. I thought the doe was Max’s symbol because it’s her spirit animal? And Rachel’s symbol is the blue butterfly. Chloe’s is a bluebird… I think?
once you get to kno rachel and experience what it was like when she was here this scene hurts so much worse. first time seeing this i was like “dam rip” now i feel like i just lost the love of my life. ik it sounds weird but one minute rachel is here living life to the fullest with chloe and the next she’s gone just gone.
guys when ever I watch this scene and think of LiS 2 before the storm you really can't stop crying even a person that doesn't play this game will start crying
The thing is, I don't like Rachel in LIS2 because she's so b*tchy to Chloe and Chloe doesn't deserve this, and seeing this makes me so uncomfortable and sad at the same time
this scene literally breaks my heart. the amount of times i've seen chloe double over, completely overwhelmed by her emotions... not to mention after seeing lis: bts, getting to see rachel, and the way she made chloe feel. the sick crying, as she realizes the one person she was never supposed to lose, the one who was in it for the long run, was taken from her. poor chloe got dealt all the wrong cards.
The entire game is a climax of emotional moments. Damn I'm so angry i didn't play this game before this month... It's a 3 years old game and I just played it this september. Shame on me.
I cried during this scene because Chloe cared so much for Rachel and because I played before the storm after the first life is strange it was so much more heartbreaking.
Played through it once years ago, and the raw emotion in Chloe's voice/reaction in this scene just really stuck with me (didn't rewatch until now!). So well done.
I remember going into the game completely blind, so I thought by some miracle Rachel would just suddenly come to school one day as if nothing happened, and that would have been the plot twist. The reveal that she had been dead the whole time was devastating, you really feel exactly like Max does in this moment, having never met Rachel except for seeing her missing poster all over the place, but your heart breaks along with Chloe's.
Playign before the storm, knowing rachel and what she went through, she really didnt deserve this. Now we can only imagien teh pain she felt with those fucks and what she went through. Unrelated, I seriously still think the Deer is rachel, bowing her head saying, "You found me, but I'm sorry you found me like this." And the deer fading is her moving on, seeing max support her also. Knowing that Chloe isn't alone anymore and that she doesn't need rachels spirit to watch over her. Anyone else agree?
The impact of this scene is crazy. Even years later. Spend the whole time playing the game thinking she probably just ran off. Then the game takes a really dark turn. And the prequel just makes it hurt more.
this reminds me of me and my best friend that we both consider each other sisters and this is what would happen if we found each other dead and found each other's bodies
after playing lis before the storm my heart hurts so much. this junkyard was chloes safe space after david announced he was moving in... and she loved rachel so much and their bond was so special 🥺.
how did i completely forget about this... before the storm just made me somehow assume rachel left chloe and kind of mate me hate her for it, but now..
Even before we found out, a part of me was like “..man what if she’s dead??” And it broke the absolute shit out of my heart when it was revealed she was
playing this game for the first time, i really thought we would find rachel alive somewhere and run away together as a cute little trio. i honestly didn’t even think about her being dead for a minute, until this part of course 😪
Im pretty sure the deer is maxs (shes wears a lot of deer tops and had a deer necklace when you went to choles funeral) Rachels sprit animal is the bluejay (she has a bluejay feather as an earring
My theory is that Rachel's spirit animal transitioned from the raven in Before The Storm to the deer in Life Is Strange, the latter of which she shares with Max because of the heavy implication that Rachel is the source of Max's powers.
The rollercoaster of emotions I had right after playing this scene was quite something. First the dread of knowing what they'll find, then tears after tears, then once I absorbed it all I was literally seething with anger. Every inch of me wanted to see Nathan Prescott dead after watching this. What an incredible scene. What an incredible game.
Credit where it’s due, Ashly Burch is one HELL of a voice actress. This scene was devastating. I haven’t even played the prequel yet but I doubt it makes this any easier to watch.
This is one of the best and most heart wrenching games of all time hey!! Having witnessed and being a survivor of a murder from when I was a child in real life.. I can tell you the pain and loss remains and this game caught just that and allowed people who have not seen or been involved in such things to have the briefest experience of what some of us have to live with for the rest of our lives!!
I understand the elderly will die. I've accepted that with family. If you're dying in your 90s...I get it. But I've lost so many friends from accidents, suicides, overdoses, and illness and I'm not even 40 yet. Holidays are no longer fun for me. They turn me into a huge pit of rage and sadness. This scene always destroys me. I am sick of death. It just surrounds me but I tend to be able to ignore it and then EXPLODE.
@@jessied3696 I was exposed to death at 5.. the murder of my foster father in front of me!! Then my foster grandfather from cancer 4 years later!! I have saved 3 friends from suicide!! I know the pain and horror lasts but think of this.. would they want you to be like that or would they want you to live the best and happiest life you can??
I remember the first time i played this and while they where getting in the car i remember just telling myself "She's not there, she's not there" Trying to convince myself its wasn't true. Then i remember the feeling of my heart SHATTERING into a million pieces when I saw the cloth they dug up. I just stared at the screen while the tears kept rolling down my cheeks onto my controller. Now i'm playing before the storm. I'm gonna do everything in my power to ensure their time together will be the most happy, carefree time they have. I dont think my heart can take another beating like this.
I played Before The Storm before this. And when I encountered this scene its so much painful and it scarred my soul because Before The Storm established an amazing connection between Rachel and Chloe that it really gave you a hope shes alive in the end..
I completed all 3 games in the series..but this..this was the moment I realized I could feel nothing at all. I literally sat in front of my tv. Numb beyond belief. Not a single tear. But my heart was broken open during this scene.. this scene changed my life forever. I realized that not everything is just simply delivered on a silver platter. THIS WORLD IS NOT KIND. THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU DIE, AND YOU MOVE ON..BUT YOU CAN STILL FEEL THEM GIVING YOU A FEELING OF REGRET FOR NOT SPENDING MORE TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONE (S).
Okay idk if this has been said or proven. But does anyone else believe that Rachel is watching them through the deer? Like leading them, like the deer is where Rachel’s soul is.
i remember the first time i saw this scene after playing "before the storm", it absolutely broke my heart. hearing chloes cries and her calls for rachel made me feel so bad. good voice acting!
Playing lis before the storm makes this scene even more heartbreaking. I fell in love with Rachel as did everyone else.
Seriously. I cried after before the storm because I knew what came next. I didn't quite feel right for a couple days after playing it. I loved Rachel and I loved her relationship with Chloe and coming back to this scene after that game adds new layers of grief felt for these characters.

this was the most depressing scene in life is strange I cried for a week and all I watched was this 😭😭😭
This scene always makes me cry
The other sad part was the junk yard was her escape her own slice of freedom her second home .. and now it’s become a place that will hurt her just like everywhere else’s
the músic makes this so much sadder and the fact that rachel watched them find her. rest in heaven my angel.
Going back to this after I played through Life is Strange (trying to go back and find all the photos/achievements) I wanted to see where Rachel’s body was the first time Max went to the Junkyard in episode one: Out of Time.
I realized that you see the doe again (Rachel’s spirit) standing over where she was buried. Then it runs off…plus Max is wearing a shirt with a doe on it during this scene. It’s all…just so sad.

And isn't it strange that when chloe was shot by Jefferson, she died right next to where Rachel was buried!? Was that planned too?
You don’t see that kind of subtlety in many games. Props to the writers here.

The impact of this scene is crazy. Even years later. Spend the whole time playing the game thinking she probably just ran off. Then the game takes a really dark turn. And the prequel just makes it hurt more.
IT HURTS TOO MUCH.
this reminds me of me and my best friend that we both consider each other sisters and this is what would happen if we found each other dead and found each other's bodies
after playing lis before the storm my heart hurts so much. this junkyard was chloes safe space after david announced he was moving in... and she loved rachel so much and their bond was so special 🥺.
The greatest performance by Ashley Bursch
I really think every dear represents the victims from the dark room. Rachel was a deer looking at chloe knowing shes going to be at peace.
The deer looks super sad...
I literally cannot listen to this song without bawling my eyes out because of this scene
Name?
@@ukiyohalsss6954 mountains - message to bears
By far, the most painful scene. It hurts so hard.
how did i completely forget about this... before the storm just made me somehow assume rachel left chloe and kind of mate me hate her for it, but now..
The Black Canvas she’d never go without her
Well Rachel cheated on her with two guys soo...
Rachel was a very pretty girl awh!
Ugh ikr, soy sad
Even before we found out, a part of me was like “..man what if she’s dead??” And it broke the absolute shit out of my heart when it was revealed she was
God damn it this gets me every time and seeing Before the Storm and seeing how amazing Rachel’s character is just hurts me so much.
this still breaks my heart everytime. rachel is my favourite character from the lis games i cant believe shes really gone
oh.. shit.. this hurts more when you also play before the storm
Much more.
the most heartbreaking scene in the entire game...
Damn ninjas cutting onions...
After I play before the storm. This scene just hurts so much more. I loved Rachel she was so bubbly and was so beautiful. Poor girl
After playing episode 3 of before the storm.....this hits me even more in the feels then it did before.
The insult to injury is so real here. She was missing but within a space they claimed as their own.
playing this game for the first time, i really thought we would find rachel alive somewhere and run away together as a cute little trio. i honestly didn’t even think about her being dead for a minute, until this part of course 😪
The dear is rachel spirit animal and thats rachel and chole spirit animal was the butterfly and that was chole
Im pretty sure the deer is maxs (shes wears a lot of deer tops and had a deer necklace when you went to choles funeral) Rachels sprit animal is the bluejay (she has a bluejay feather as an earring
My theory is that Rachel's spirit animal transitioned from the raven in Before The Storm to the deer in Life Is Strange, the latter of which she shares with Max because of the heavy implication that Rachel is the source of Max's powers.
Cold Pasta im pretty sure the deer was Rachel’s to be honest because l it’s link with Chloe, it’s reaction to Chloe find Rachel seemed like Rachel
Sorry im late 😅 but in ep 2 you can see the deer is on top Rachel's grave soo
Also the deer is fading away in this scene 😭 I think this is some kind of sign: Rachel's "free" now, because Chloe and Max finally found her 😭...
The rollercoaster of emotions I had right after playing this scene was quite something. First the dread of knowing what they'll find, then tears after tears, then once I absorbed it all I was literally seething with anger. Every inch of me wanted to see Nathan Prescott dead after watching this. What an incredible scene. What an incredible game.
After playing before the storm this is even more heartbreaking
A more damaging realization was cleared up by a quick google search as “The doe is believed to be a personification of Rachel Amber's soul.”
Also theorized that the doe may be a spirit animal to max as well.
In my personal opinion, this is where the episode should’ve ended
It was at this moment everyone knew they hated Mr Jefferson
Nathan killed her not Jefferson
Credit where it’s due, Ashly Burch is one HELL of a voice actress. This scene was devastating. I haven’t even played the prequel yet but I doubt it makes this any easier to watch.
What kind of world does this? Who does this? Two powerful sentences I have been asking myself since the El Paso and Ohio shooting.
This is one of the best and most heart wrenching games of all time hey!! Having witnessed and being a survivor of a murder from when I was a child in real life.. I can tell you the pain and loss remains and this game caught just that and allowed people who have not seen or been involved in such things to have the briefest experience of what some of us have to live with for the rest of our lives!!
I understand the elderly will die. I've accepted that with family. If you're dying in your 90s...I get it.
But I've lost so many friends from accidents, suicides, overdoses, and illness and I'm not even 40 yet.
Holidays are no longer fun for me. They turn me into a huge pit of rage and sadness.
This scene always destroys me. I am sick of death. It just surrounds me but I tend to be able to ignore it and then EXPLODE.
@@jessied3696 I was exposed to death at 5.. the murder of my foster father in front of me!! Then my foster grandfather from cancer 4 years later!! I have saved 3 friends from suicide!! I know the pain and horror lasts but think of this.. would they want you to be like that or would they want you to live the best and happiest life you can??
@@violet-kittychickI don't believe there is a choice. It's just learning.
Unfortunately, some of us are forced to learn more.
@@jessied3696 I learned I lost my childhood at 5 and a part of my soul shattered and I miss it every day!!
it's even worse when you remember that ashly burch wasn't acting
THE DOE AT THE END CRYING SO HARD
The background music takes this to a whole another level.
I’m playing the “before the storm” right now and Rachel seems so amazing watching this again makes it even sadder 😢😢
Still hit hard the way chloe cried it broke my heart man
lets face it the music makes the scene so much sadder and it gives chills
OW I JUST FINISHED BEFORE THE STORM
I remember the first time i played this and while they where getting in the car i remember just telling myself "She's not there, she's not there" Trying to convince myself its wasn't true. Then i remember the feeling of my heart SHATTERING into a million pieces when I saw the cloth they dug up. I just stared at the screen while the tears kept rolling down my cheeks onto my controller. Now i'm playing before the storm. I'm gonna do everything in my power to ensure their time together will be the most happy, carefree time they have. I dont think my heart can take another beating like this.
I played Before The Storm before this. And when I encountered this scene its so much painful and it scarred my soul because Before The Storm established an amazing connection between Rachel and Chloe that it really gave you a hope shes alive in the end..
I completed all 3 games in the series..but this..this was the moment I realized I could feel nothing at all. I literally sat in front of my tv. Numb beyond belief. Not a single tear. But my heart was broken open during this scene.. this scene changed my life forever. I realized that not everything is just simply delivered on a silver platter. THIS WORLD IS NOT KIND. THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU DIE, AND YOU MOVE ON..BUT YOU CAN STILL FEEL THEM GIVING YOU A FEELING OF REGRET FOR NOT SPENDING MORE TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONE (S).
i watched it so many times i can’t cry anymore
Literally crying, I played this one before the before the storm and I cannot handle this rn 😭
Been years since I played this and chole crying is so good and phemonal I still cry
one of the saddest video game scenes ever, especially after playing before the storm and seeing how beautiful rachel and chloe’s relationship was
This scene hits different after finishing Before the Storm 😰 Watched this immediately after completing the game and it wrecked me
Okay idk if this has been said or proven. But does anyone else believe that Rachel is watching them through the deer? Like leading them, like the deer is where Rachel’s soul is.
i remember the first time i saw this scene after playing "before the storm", it absolutely broke my heart. hearing chloes cries and her calls for rachel made me feel so bad. good voice acting!
I feel old, been 6 years already. Wow.
I got chills watching that and I don't get chills alot
Came here just after finishing watching Kubzscouts playthrough of Life Is Strange Before The Storm :'(
I was crying when I played this episode
it's tearing my heart to paper shreads
Deer and butterfly...🦋🦌
