Trois ans après les événements survenus à Arcadia Bay, Max Caulfield s''est retrouvée prise au piège d’une réalité inconnue. Son nouveau monde semble trop beau pour être vrai : Rachel, disparue dans d’horribles circonstances dans la ligne temporelle de Max, est ici bien vivante et désormais en couple avec Chloé. Mais alors que les échos d’autres chronologies se répercutent sur le passé et le futur, un mystérieux garçon, Tristan, révèle la dure réalité derrière ce « meilleur des mondes ».

Depuis les événements survenus à Arcadia Bay, deux réalités s’opposent dans la vie de Max. Une ligne temporelle dans laquelle Chloe et Rachel se sont sacrifiées pour sauver leur petite ville, et une autre dans laquelle ce sacrifice n’a jamais eu lieu . Réfugiée dans la seconde, Max comprend que son habileté à remonter le temps dérègle tout autour d’elle et elle finit par se rendre à l’évidence : elle doit retourner dans la ligne temporelle initiale, même si cela signifie de faire une croix définitive sur ses amies retrouvées...

Tra mille imprevisti, novità e colpi di scena, il viaggio che sta portando Max e Chloe verso New Orleans, e soprattutto verso un loro possibile ricongiungimento, continua e si avvicina alla sua fine. Sebbene siano in due realtà diverse, le vite e le esperienze delle ragazze, e dei loro accompagnatori, continuano a intrecciarsi e imitarsi. Grazie a Tristan, capace di spostarsi da una realtà all’altra, e all’entrata in scena di un nuovo personaggio dotato di poteri, il ricongiungimento di Max e Chloe sembra davvero sempre più probabile!

How far would you go, to get back to the person you love? As Max Caulfield embarks on a road trip across America after coming so close to returning to her own timeline, across the transect Tristan and Chloe follow the same path.

Trapped in a reality that is not her own, Max Caulfield needs to find a way to return to her original timeline! Max must follow her connection with Chloe across infinite realities, and from one coast to another, as she embarks on the road trip of multiple lifetimes! When her temporal abilities threatened to tear reality apart after the events of the BAFTA-winning videogame Life is Strange, Max was forced to leave her Chloe behind and jump to a new timeline: where Rachel was alive and Chloe had left Arcadia Bay. Afraid to lose her powers, Max hid her secret for two years until she met Tristan, a boy with the power to ‘phase’ in and out of reality. The pair teamed up to return Max to her timeline, but while Tristan succeeded, stranding himself with the original Chloe, Max was left behind, unable to cross over. “Perfect even for comic readers who have never played the game… 10/10.” – Bleeding Cool “Life is Strange continues to be a fantastic book for fans of the game.

Since jumping over to Max’s original timeline, Tristan has been travelling with Chloe and the High Seas. The band welcomed Tristan as an “honorary crew member”, but Pixie was curious about where Chloe’s mysterious friend had come from and how he had appeared so suddenly. Across the realities, Max is also concerned about Tristan. After seeing a glimpse of her Chloe back in Tombstone, Max was more confident than ever – but without hearing from Tristan, she couldn’t be sure if she was on the right path. Tristan, Chloe and the High Seas arrived in El Paso for their latest show. Away from his new friends, Tristan continued to struggle with his powers, unable to phase in and out of reality as he had done before – much to his, and Chloe’s, growing frustration. But Tristan realized that Max must also be on the same route, and that she was also in El Paso! He theorized that, if he and Max were able to be in the same place, at the same time, he would be able to jump back to her. After a successful gig in El Paso, everyone headed out onto the next leg of their tour. But Max, Chloe and Rachel watched in horror as a tree trunk fell directly into the path of the Hight Seas van, which overturned to avoid a collision. Without waiting to see how bad the damage was, Max rushed forward to use her powers and save her friends. But as time began to rewind, Tristan appeared in the wreckage of the van. He shouted for Max to wait, but it was too late…

With Max’s help, Tristan was able to use his powers to phase through the Transect and find Chloe in the original timeline. However, he was exhausted and struggled to use his powers again. Chloe, full of renewed hope, told him not to be so hard on himself. In a rare moment of privacy, Rachel confronted Max about her relationship with her Chloe, which Max had kept secret. Rachel apologized to Max for feeling like she had to hide it, and that Max made her and Chloe better people. In the new timeline, Chloe, Max, and Rachel arrived at Tombstone – a Western re-enactment town in El Paso – dressed as Captain Bluebeard and her crew. The trio were unaware that – in the other timeline – Chloe, Tristan and the High Seas had also arrived in Tombstone. However, rather than dress up in their own pirate outfits, they rented cowboy costumes instead. As Chloe admired herself in the costume-shop mirror, she was taken by surprise when her reflection became a window into the alternate timeline! Chloe ran into Victoria, who was playing the role of Ophelia in her timeline’s production of Hamlet. The two caught up over a coffee and Victoria seemed to have left her Queen Bee and Blackwell Academy days behind her. Meanwhile, across the timelines, a water gun fight broke out in the streets of Tombstone and it was everyone for themselves! As Max lived a brand-new pirate adventure, she felt closer to Chloe, and to her home, than ever.

After her attempt to return to her own timeline failed, Max set out with Chloe and Rachel to follow their friends, the band The High Seas, on their cross-country tour to a festival in Florida. Also traveling across the country are Rachel’s fellow cast members in Hamlet – also bound for Florida. When they bumped into Max, Chloe and Rachel on the Grand Canyon trail, they took a Team Hamlet photo, but Laurence fell off the cliff! In one timeline, Max used her power to save him, in the other Chloe and the High Seas found him alone on the edge – the rest of the cast having gone for help. After bringing Lawrence back to the motel, Chloe confronted Tristan, who had travelled across timelines to find her. Tristan told Chloe everything, and the pair began planning how to bring Max home. After a long day, Max was kept awake, wondering if she was on the right path. Chloe apologized to Max for pulling her back out of the transect, because she wasn’t ready to lose her. Max told that it was okay: if there’s one thing she can trust in any timeline, it’s Chloe Price.
