Can I just say well done to Chloe for not losing her cool when Rachel went off script? She stayed true to the position of her character. She didn't panic, which would've led her off track. Despite having not attended a single rehearsal, or even knowing ANYTHING about the Tempest, she killed it. I'm so impressed with her.
This is probably the best moment in the episode because this is the best writing I’ve seen in a video game because they’re then talking to each other for reals but still acting in character while they’re speaking about their future which is awesome!
This moment and the scene where they are walking home in the streetlamps remembering it and talking about their future were two of the most compelling moments I've ever played in a video game. And I've been playing video games since the 80's.
In my playthrough, Nathan didn't screw up on stage like this. I stood up for him in episode 1, and in this episode I stood up to his dad and told Samantha to be there for him afterwards. He killed it in the play - got every single line perfectly and acted his heart out.
Its kind of pointless being nice to him as it doesnt stop Jeffersons future influence that makes him turn out like he does. I find it hard to like him as he's still potentially responsible in a timeline for kate, Rachel and Chloe's death. Even if he was being manipulated. Not to mention one outcome he breaks samanthas ribs and the fact she isnt in the first game. His first kill perhaps?
thank god she is a female. If it was a male making this proposition as is the original play it would be full-on "nice guy" in demanding that his slave marry him. This game is complete BS sorry
Some people are saying they feel there's inconsistency because Rachel sleeps with Frank and possibly Mr. Jefferson, but I think it's totally consistent. Rachel is complicated. She may love Chloe, but she is also using Chloe from the moment they ditch school. She's even admitting it here -- "in service to my schemes." And Rachel has a dark side so strong it even astonishes Chloe every time she sees it -- throwing the bottle, the fire, breaking the table, stabbing Damon, etc. It's a trait she inherits from her mother, along with hey ability to be all things to all people.
She was also more than likely just using Frank and Jefferson for possibly both her and Chloe. Frank cause they probably had another debt she might have wanted out of, and Jefferson might be because of his connections, a hope that he could get her in touch with people in Los Angeles. And Nathan might have been for the same reason as what Chloe did, an attempt to get money out of him that went horribly wrong. In the end though she seemed loyal to Chloe.
After Chloe's part is over and she watches the play from backstage, I also felt mesmerized by Rachel's performance. It breaks my heart knowing she had so much potential and died so young. Poor Rachel... 😭
This scene made me appreciate theatre more than ever, it was this scene that inspired me to finally audition for a play which has been my dream for a long time but I never had the guts to actually audition. Thank you, life is strange.
Mizra1898 I didn’t get the character I auditioned for but I got a really good character, but most importantly I gained confidence and realized how much potential I have for theater. Thank You for asking
@@emmamiller368 it did!!🥺 but this year, we are doing another play that can be donde online and on live and for this play I got a lead role!! so It kinda went better for me, even though it will probably be online
I'll never get over it ;( I had cried so much when Chloe and Max find Rachel's body and I hadn't even played BtS yet. I'm planning on playing Before the Storm again but I'll just melt on that scene... Isn't it ironic though, in the first episode here Chloe loves Rachel's Lavender smell, and then in LiS she pukes with the putrid smell of Rachel's rotting body. Rachel was perfect, Bloody Nathan! Yet, I'm trying to make the best choices and being the most kind possible with everyone in BtS, even standing up for Nathan, in the false belief that Rachel could be saved ...
3:25-5:30 this moment is one of the most beautiful moments i ever witnessed in a game seriously. The soft music, the theatre setting in general and the moment they shared on stage really touched my heart and have no shame in admitting i shed tears and it was so believable. Not everyone liked Before The Storm but it was a truly wonderful game for different reasons
This is the most Rachel way ever to open up to Chloe lmao. Though of course veiled through theatric melodrama and artifice, Rachel is being sincere about how she feels about Chloe This scene alone tells you everything about Rachel “I never said how dearly I hold thee, my habit’s been to keep my soul well draped” The jist of the conversation is Rachel can sense Chloe is getting tired of the shenanigans and just wants to know if Rachel cares about her without the all the teen rebellion, in classic Rachel fashion she’s says “indulge me for a little longer and we’ll be together” basically and I really think she believes it Rachel doesn’t want to fully commit to Chloe but she also doesn’t want to see her move on with someone else and she says this in a way that’s almost possessive. She’s such a fascinating, conflicted character. She stands up for Chloe, gets stabbed for her, so she loves Chloe back to some degree but she’s just too many things to too many different people to fully commit. She’s somewhere between sketchy, manipulative would be lover and charismatic dream girlfriend. I’d say Rachel is actively indecisive (tries to choose everything but picks nothing) and this is her fatal flaw whereas Max is passively indecisive (doesn’t want to make the wrong choice doesn’t choose) Simply put, Rachel isn’t emotionally equipped to love Chloe back in a way that’s healthy. Their dynamic is skewed because Rachel has all the power whereas Max is a moral check on Chloe but Chloe gets Max out of her shell
Doing the scene perfect is so sweet. And the way Rachel improvised out of nowhere catching Chloe off guard with that, perfect genuine acting and connection
this whole scene and part of the game was one of the most beautiful scenes in anything ever created for entertainment. fight me. i can’t describe how this game makes me feel and how it has corresponded with decisions ive made irl.
@@surelock3221a except those lines Chloe and Rachel say are not in THE TEMPEST. They were improvising their lines to propose their selves a new life. And this was absolutely AMAZING
so i did The Tempest at school, here's my 2c. Prospero is basically the writer's stand in: a tired old man with incredible power to affect the story however he wishes. Rachel Amber is similar in that she's tired of her life, but both wish that they could return to some earlier life. Rachel with her family and Prospero in Milan. by the end of the play, Prospero realises he can never really go back, and Rachel looks forward to her short future with Chloe. (as a side note, Rachel as Prospero lends a lot of weight to the theory that Rachel had powers, and that she caused the forest fire with them, not just tipping over a bin) Ariel is Prospero's servant, but a beloved one. a lot of modern productions paint this as an abusive relationship, which is a valid reading, but not one particularly useful when looking at it in the context of Chloe and Rachel. Prospero saved Ariel from imprisonment by Sycorax, a violent parental figure, maybe symbolising Chloe's step-dad. additionally, sycorax is actually dead by the time Prospero frees Ariel, so there's a shared theme of dead parents. "I will not see thee flying forth alone. the envy would be more than I could bare" is more packed with meaning than vitamins in a gummy. in the play, Ariel is introduced offering his magical services to Prospero, specifically, flight. Prospero gets his powers from his books, his staff, and his relationship to the fairies of the island, he has no intrinsic sorcery like Ariel does, he only gets that which he can take. in the same way, Rachel envies Chloe's social freedom, in being an outcast she can do what she wants, while Rachel has to deal with the pressures of the world. and just as Prospero needs Ariel for magic, Rachel needs Chloe for her freedom. Prospero frees Ariel at the end of the Tempest, but Rachel's off-script moment strengthens their bond as a romantic one, not as one of a master and servant. her Prospero refuses to let go of Ariel, refuses to let go of the past, and wants to drag the present into the future with her, a move which is ultimately doomed to fail.
I can't cope with Before the Storm. I break down in tears because I *love* Rachel so much, and I we know the life she has due to her over her next 3 years. It's just horrible. I thought this would be the Fire Walk With Me of Life is Strange. It's actually worse.
Me when Rachel started to go off script: " What the fuck is this? " Me when Rachel started to kneel down: " Oh shit, is she going to propose?! " Me when Rachel asked the question: " YES! But " will you marry me " will do better xD
This scene is so striking. From the lighting, the music, and the realization of what happens to Rachel in the end, it gives me chills. It’s something magical, and terribly sad. One of my favorite scenes in this prequel.
so natural, so organic, makes me shiver, makes me tear up despite me fighting against it... I just like so much how Chloe says "of course mistress, most struely it is so" her tone changes so drastically, so pure, so... natural. thank you for uploading this.
I've been playing games for years and this is the first drama performance in a video game ever. Wasn't it super intense? Thank you Dontnod and DeckNine for this fascinating series.
For me? It sort of feels like both. I feel sympathy because the kid is basically an outcast, even within the ranks of his own family. And I feel empathy because you can sense the hurt and isolation the boy obviously feels.
you are not the only one.... the thing is that he's ignorant... so there's nothing much we can do to help him, even in the first LiS and it sad he's dead.
There is a way to "perfect" Nathan's performance. You need to talk to umm, that new girl at the backstage who watches as Nathan gets scolded by his dad. As you say "you need to help him", his play will be a success.
When I heard Chloe reply to Rachel in that tone, I was surprised and double-checked that I wasn't playing the main game, because she definitely sounded like Max.
For me, this scene was so beautiful, but stressful at the same time. xD Didn't want to fail, so I read that damn script over and over again, before I walked on the stage xD Edit: It was worth it ^^
Nathan did his part right in mine... its sad seeing him like this, knowing he ends up dead or in prison after being mistreated and manipulated... neither are good but I prefer the latter.
@@whitney3888 Im not even sure about that. SPOILER!!!!!! Mark had an freudian slip as he told Max, who were on severe drugs, that HE killed Chloe, then corrected himself and said NATHAN killed her. So I am not sure that indeed Nathan killed Rachel. Mark also said some BS about 'hip new' drugs. Probably he couldn't handle them.
AMii Redhead Honestly, I don’t think Mark killed Rachel. I feel as though he was beautiful in her eyes. (Definitely creepy) I think he meant to keep her alive because she looked like a model and was good for the camera. I sincerely think that Nathan accidentally gave her too big of a dose and killed her, maybe that is why Jefferson decided to kill him.
I like that her mom was there. Even though she felt she couldn’t interfere with her daughter’s life because of James, she still tried her best to watch her from afar.
Thank you Nathan, even after all this time, now that i am finally playing the game, i wanted to have a perfect script for this part, great stuff. Truly.
it's just sad that a lot of youtuber didn't realize about the Script, which I feel like I'm the only one who's searching for the script about the play after Chloe changed her costume. I even tried to memorized it until I realize I can just take a screenshot of it xD
Every time I play this game, I always cry during this scene. This moment is probably one of the most beautiful in the game, if not the most beautiful. They're promising to leave together, and when knowing what happens to Rachel, it just makes this even sadder. They deserved to escape together.
It took me years to finally play this game after the original LIS. I love this game, more so than the original with Max and it made me incredibly sad for Chloe. Rachel Amber looks exactly like my ex from high school too and apart from this play, they could have been the same person. They even both had Amber as a part of their names. This game will always be a part of me now.
I just played the game for the first time yesterday. When I realised what was happening here my heart almost stopped. But the curse of knowledge about their ultimate fate made this perfect moment very sad.
This was the best, most inspired part of "Before the Storm". When Rachel goes off script and begins to improvise, turning 'The Tempest' into a declaration of her friendship to Chloe, I felt like the drama teacher: "It's magical!" And yet, it's bittersweet when you know Rache's fate.
I didn't remember that it was tempest that they performed. Coincidentally I'm playing Ariel and in the "my liberty" part I yell it full force. Of course its not English but still im in love with this play. We had our premier last night
Just learnt that the episode names "awake" "brave new world", not just "hell is empty" comes from the Tempest. Brave new world is actually sarcastic, saying the world, arcadia bay, is not was wonderful as it seems.
@ 3:52- 5:25 is departure by daughter and @ 7:28 voices by daughter starts playing guys
That Boy Nathan OMG thx
i wish they had this soft part like this in departure the version on apple music is too loud i like the softness in this version
yess daughter!!
THANK YOU!
That Boy Nathan it’s a rendition of departure. It is beautiful
Rachel just proposed to Chloe on stage don't you dare try and tell me otherwise
when she went off script and did that sht i was crying tbh and im a 20 year old dude ffs
SAY YES!!
You remind me of that black guy in snapchat "Idk why im crying in the club right now"
It really was a straight up proposal if you listen to what she's saying. And that she was saying it while kneeling.
kakolukia _ that’s where I completely lost it.
Can I just say well done to Chloe for not losing her cool when Rachel went off script? She stayed true to the position of her character. She didn't panic, which would've led her off track. Despite having not attended a single rehearsal, or even knowing ANYTHING about the Tempest, she killed it. I'm so impressed with her.
I did panic though, before noticing the beauty in it and crying knowing what happens to Rachel.
This scene was perfect!
And it makes total sense. We already know Chloe has a talent for improv from the game she and Rachel play in Episode 1. A+ writing right there.
I know right?!
@@ArcherAC3 She just made a Polite dialogue version of "Will you Marry me?" Tbh
she was a good student and had a scholarship before things happened :'D
Ariel = tempest
tempest = storm
storm = Chloe
Chloe = Ariel
now it makes much more sense
storm?? chloe?? don’t you mean rachel? “rachel’s revenge”
@@yagamiapologist I meant storm as in when Max chose Chloe over Arcadia and Chloe lives, the storm continues.
Chloe is the storm.
Wait, can you go into more depth about this? I've thought of it that way.
this was honestly my favorite part of the whole game no question.
Sunshine Schneider not even the kiss?
My favorite part of any game
@@librarianweed It was exactly the scene after.
MINE TOO
Julia Schneider Good thing Rachel and Chloe are both bi and not full on gay like you weird girls.
This is probably the best moment in the episode because this is the best writing I’ve seen in a video game because they’re then talking to each other for reals but still acting in character while they’re speaking about their future which is awesome!
Yes ! That's it !
This moment and the scene where they are walking home in the streetlamps remembering it and talking about their future were two of the most compelling moments I've ever played in a video game. And I've been playing video games since the 80's.
It was cringe af
Aaron Clow i agree
My thoughts as well, I was so touched!!!
Im the girl from the crowd who shouted "SAY YES" tbh
oh man this is probably my fave scene from ep 2 (besides the kiss for sure). Its just beautiful
Peacelover1212 a lot of people give the kiss on the street lip service but I feel this scene was the coup de grace of the episode.
if you listen closely, the girl who said "say yes" is actually Juliet.
In my playthrough, Nathan didn't screw up on stage like this. I stood up for him in episode 1, and in this episode I stood up to his dad and told Samantha to be there for him afterwards. He killed it in the play - got every single line perfectly and acted his heart out.
yeah if you told samantha to be there he'll do right on stage, it's the same for my playthrough.
It makes me happier, knowing Nathan rocked his roll and he's not alone. Makes the play even more enjoyable
Wow. Idk I can do it. I have only stepped for him in ep 1 and he srewd the play.
Wait wa when do u even encounter him in this episode
Its kind of pointless being nice to him as it doesnt stop Jeffersons future influence that makes him turn out like he does. I find it hard to like him as he's still potentially responsible in a timeline for kate, Rachel and Chloe's death. Even if he was being manipulated. Not to mention one outcome he breaks samanthas ribs and the fact she isnt in the first game. His first kill perhaps?
Amberprice: 1 Shakespeare: 0
thank god she is a female. If it was a male making this proposition as is the original play it would be full-on "nice guy" in demanding that his slave marry him. This game is complete BS sorry
@@frankmerker630 stfu bitch
you're being delusional. If he wasn't a d*ck to her overall, it would still be a cute corny "proposal". no one would say that
I'm the girl "say yes!"
it's Juliet who said that xD
Maulana Winata Lol, Juliet ships it.
Also me shout at the screen.
Cole KXL yeah xD probably because she was the real ariel in this
I swear it sounds like Samantha.
(in case someone forgot her she's the mousy girl who tells Chloe to stand up to Drew for Nathan.)
"You're so dead"
Me thinking of Life is Strange: *OOF*
Some people are saying they feel there's inconsistency because Rachel sleeps with Frank and possibly Mr. Jefferson, but I think it's totally consistent.
Rachel is complicated. She may love Chloe, but she is also using Chloe from the moment they ditch school. She's even admitting it here -- "in service to my schemes."
And Rachel has a dark side so strong it even astonishes Chloe every time she sees it -- throwing the bottle, the fire, breaking the table, stabbing Damon, etc. It's a trait she inherits from her mother, along with hey ability to be all things to all people.
This analysis is tough - but regretfully true. Maybe Rachel is somewhat of a vulnerable female narcissist.
Well said. It's not as if she doesn't care for Chloe, but she's definitely a manipulator as well.
Also she undoubtedly develops major daddy issues due to events in this game
Agreed
She was also more than likely just using Frank and Jefferson for possibly both her and Chloe. Frank cause they probably had another debt she might have wanted out of, and Jefferson might be because of his connections, a hope that he could get her in touch with people in Los Angeles. And Nathan might have been for the same reason as what Chloe did, an attempt to get money out of him that went horribly wrong. In the end though she seemed loyal to Chloe.
After Chloe's part is over and she watches the play from backstage, I also felt mesmerized by Rachel's performance. It breaks my heart knowing she had so much potential and died so young. Poor Rachel... 😭
Indeed. And, if the Player screws up Chloe/Ariel's lines, Rachel brilliantly rectifies them and gives cues perfectly in character.
"Say yes!"😆
This scene made me appreciate theatre more than ever, it was this scene that inspired me to finally audition for a play which has been my dream for a long time but I never had the guts to actually audition. Thank you, life is strange.
It's really nice to see how these games change people's lives.

When Chloe's tough girl voice breaks for that one line....all the feels
This scene puts SOO much weight onto every mention of “Rachel Amber” in Before the Storm and most definitely in Life is Strange. *starts crying*
I'll never get over it ;(
I had cried so much when Chloe and Max find Rachel's body and I hadn't even played BtS yet. I'm planning on playing Before the Storm again but I'll just melt on that scene...

" What the fuck is this? "
Me when Rachel started to kneel down:
" Oh shit, is she going to propose?! "
Me when Rachel asked the question:
" YES! But " will you marry me " will do better xD
Rest in peace Rachael Amber. You are a beautiful soul. The world is a darker place without you.
This scene is so striking. From the lighting, the music, and the realization of what happens to Rachel in the end, it gives me chills. It’s something magical, and terribly sad. One of my favorite scenes in this prequel.
My favourite part of the episode.
I actually knew all the lines because I loudly read out the whole script to myself before I went on stage lmao
I'm so dramatic xD
Dont friggin tell me that Rachel didn't love Chloe cause she just asked her to leave arcadia bay with her on stage!
At this point in the game I still liked her. But if she really did she wouldn't have slept around with 2 other people behind Chloe's back.
This and the streetlamp scene are my favorite in the entire franchise. Amberprice forever. I think this is Rachel at her most true to her heart.
Yeah, scenes like those were a true blast from the past
I wrote down my lines like a dork...
Jordy Boothy took cell phone pics and read along lol.
LMAO
took photos myself..
You could just look in the journal.
That's what I did after I messed up the first line lol
so natural, so organic, makes me shiver, makes me tear up despite me fighting against it... I just like so much how Chloe says "of course mistress, most struely it is so" her tone changes so drastically, so pure, so... natural. thank you for uploading this.
I often come back to this scene. It reminds me of the connection with that special person everybody has.
I've been playing games for years and this is the first drama performance in a video game ever. Wasn't it super intense? Thank you Dontnod and DeckNine for this fascinating series.
Have to say I felt sorry for Nathan when he went on stage to perform. I know it sounds crazy but I it just felt sad watching it.
Kris Clay Same here...is it sympathy or empathy?
For me? It sort of feels like both. I feel sympathy because the kid is basically an outcast, even within the ranks of his own family. And I feel empathy because you can sense the hurt and isolation the boy obviously feels.
you are not the only one.... the thing is that he's ignorant... so there's nothing much we can do to help him, even in the first LiS and it sad he's dead.
In my playthrough people didn't laugh at Nathan and he said his lines perfectly well
There is a way to "perfect" Nathan's performance. You need to talk to umm, that new girl at the backstage who watches as Nathan gets scolded by his dad. As you say "you need to help him", his play will be a success.
If they animate shakespere's works like this I might actually read them.
Shakespear was really ahead of time with that "fuuuuck you" part
She is talking about their relationship this was a beautiful scene mostly because of the music
Edit: What is the song called?
Departure - Daughter
Only this time, it's the soft piano parts instead of the full track.
+Mr Person It’s a different version of Departure by Daugther. :)
Yes, it is a softer version of departure. I liked it a lot so i extended it a bit. You can check it out here:
th-cam.com/video/jM46gMzs6LI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for extending it!
Such a beautiful track deserved a longer version ;)
3:42 she sounded so much like Max right there.
Most times, while she had the costume on, I'd think for a second that she was Max.
When I heard Chloe reply to Rachel in that tone, I was surprised and double-checked that I wasn't playing the main game, because she definitely sounded like Max.
Thats insane how they act out the unspoken true nature of their relatonship in front of a big audience in such an authentic manner.
For me, this scene was so beautiful, but stressful at the same time. xD
Didn't want to fail, so I read that damn script over and over again, before I walked on the stage xD
Edit: It was worth it ^^
Well that is the commitment as player on stage.
haha i took a picture of it
It was... *MAGICAL*

You lifesaver, you. We only read the dialogue scenes and I panicked lol. Even though there was a post it that said go here.

Thank you Nathan, even after all this time, now that i am finally playing the game, i wanted to have a perfect script for this part, great stuff. Truly.
Is it normal for me to watch this 20 times a day?
Keith Marcus lol no but i admit it’s such a beautiful scene
yes it’s a normal gay duty to my heart
That one girl sho says: SAY YES
This was such a magical moment.
When the music kicked in tears came out of my eyes
it's just sad that a lot of youtuber didn't realize about the Script, which I feel like I'm the only one who's searching for the script about the play after Chloe changed her costume. I even tried to memorized it until I realize I can just take a screenshot of it xD
Yeah I took a picture of the script too using my phone and everything was going well until Rachel went off script and I fucking panicked.
Yeah, I panicked too 😆 I was like "did I miss one of the page?" then I'm glad Nathan helped me figure it out that she did went of script.
Every time I play this game, I always cry during this scene. This moment is probably one of the most beautiful in the game, if not the most beautiful. They're promising to leave together, and when knowing what happens to Rachel, it just makes this even sadder. They deserved to escape together.
The best scene. Makes me emotional every time
This scene was so emotional, but wonder why Juliet got a really small appearance in the game.
She was stuck in traffic, so Chloe become her substitute because they're the same height and build.
3:42 Dude...Chloes voice breaking and her softness coming out😭
Magical can’t describe how beautiful and just such an amazing way to play out this scene. Almost brings a tear to my eyes 😢❤
This game is hella beautiful
“It’s...magical”
It took me years to finally play this game after the original LIS. I love this game, more so than the original with Max and it made me incredibly sad for Chloe. Rachel Amber looks exactly like my ex from high school too and apart from this play, they could have been the same person. They even both had Amber as a part of their names. This game will always be a part of me now.
this is the most gut wrenching sweet scene ever i physically cant take it anymore
...you helped me with this WHOLE play in the game, thanks!
Rachel: come servant
Chloe: *ffffFffffFfFfFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!*
First time in like forever that I made notes for a game (the script) and boy did it pay off, such an awesome scene!
I restarted my game a good three times until I got the script right xD
I just played the game for the first time yesterday. When I realised what was happening here my heart almost stopped. But the curse of knowledge about their ultimate fate made this perfect moment very sad.
This was the best, most inspired part of "Before the Storm". When Rachel goes off script and begins to improvise, turning 'The Tempest' into a declaration of her friendship to Chloe, I felt like the drama teacher: "It's magical!" And yet, it's bittersweet when you know Rache's fate.
honestly one of the most beautiful scenes in the game.
It's better if you say 'excitement will grow old' in my opinion.
yeah it is... I choose that
I agree, that's what I chose!!
Excitement never grows old.
@@unhealthycarrot it does tho
Yeah I chose that. It also kind of mirrors what happens in their relationship later
unrelated but I love Rachel's voice
THIS SCENE WAS SO GOOD
This part is quite hard for a not native english speaker :D
If you turn your brightness way up you can see Rachel’s mom in the crowd
This lives in my head rent free; I'm sure it lives in yours too.
Chloe is so cute :D
7:33 “No, wench” 😂😂
I didn't remember that it was tempest that they performed. Coincidentally I'm playing Ariel and in the "my liberty" part I yell it full force. Of course its not English but still im in love with this play. We had our premier last night
I was 17 when I first played these games I'm 24 now and I still love em ♥
When the music kicks in at 3:25 I immediately get tears in my eyes this game fucked me up
Ellie same!! It’s truly beautiful and one of the most touching scenes in any game i have ever played
The music behind makes me cry more please 😭💔
They should just make another game where chloe and Rachel run away together and actually live happy ever after😂😭
9:16 Shy Chloe is hella cute
I can’t help but feel destroyed because we all know what will happen to rachel.
Just learnt that the episode names "awake" "brave new world", not just "hell is empty" comes from the Tempest. Brave new world is actually sarcastic, saying the world, arcadia bay, is not was wonderful as it seems.
So in my playthrough Nathan actually performed super well. Which choice alternates it?
Robert O'Neal you shouldn't help him in the first episode and other things with him...
its the choice of whether or not you tell samantha to help him. the other 2 choices lead to this with him.
GRANT WINTERS I guess I'll do a playthrough where I choose the opposite choice.
But really, it doesn't matter because *spoiler alert* there is NO choice that doesn't lead to him murdering Rachel.
Well in my play everyone played perfect even Nathan not like in this video. This is not perfect.
Got the kiss and the propose too.
when i said "perfect script" i meant Chloe's script not the entire play :)
It's magical indeed...
My favorite scene in this episode by far, is this a song that Daughter made or is it another artist? 3:52-5:22
JonPunk 316 Daughter ;)
DeadButterfly that's what I thought do u know what song it is?
JonPunk 316 Sounds like Departure but way more calm
Hope you found it, it's Departure th-cam.com/video/xq4NQoGid2w/w-d-xo.html
Totally not crying....
Why doesn't my game look this pretty on PC and hella high settings??
I play on Xbox too D:
You can see the pain and regret in Chloe’s face
This was so great!
Its magical....
I sincerely doubt that Chloe nor Rachel do not mix in the main character of this story. 🤔
spoilers?
playing this game was a constant cycle of loving Rachel and then immediately remembering that she's going to die a horrible death.
Thank you very much for the helpful video!
