I finished episode 2.

I saved Kate!! I made sure to go through her room and took note of everything like her favorite bible verse and her dad's postcard. I erased her white board twice and got rid of that link to her video. I told Kate to go to the police, even though I didn't want to. max is in deep enough shit, but I wasn't gonna let Kate die. The instant she grabbed Max's hand to get down, I set my controller down and wept like a fucking baby. This game has me completely emotionally invested, even though I know what happens in episode 3.

I hate parts of the dialogue with a fiery passion, but god damn do these people know how to tell a story.

episode 3

+

Just finished it. I already knew what was gonna happen, but seeing William alive and Chloe in that wheelchair still got to me. I blamed Jefferson last episode. I should have blamed David or Nathan after thinking about it, but I didn't want Nathan in my small intestine, and I just didn't think blaming David would work since I didn't take a pic of him harassing Kate. I kinda feel bad, cause I like Jefferson. Him not going to Cali anymore and that Support page made me feel bad. Took the money. Gotta pay Frank off, plus I tried to shoot him last episode and I want to appease him. Kissed Chloe. The lesbian ships are setting sail. Threw the bone in the parking lot. What kind of heartless bastard kills a drug dealer's dog? Or anyone's dog for that matter? There was also the minor stuff. Lisa, the plant lived, since I watered her once and not every time i was in my room. I helped Alyssa every time she had something happen to her. I've talked to Taylor, Victoria's friend, and she thinks I'm cool for caring about her sick mom. I know what's gonna happen at the beginning of episode 4, due to a friend asking me about it, little pissed, but I know what I"m gonna do and I won't change my mind.

Once the game's over, I'll probably go back and get all the picture achievements and maybe try playing different options. But I like how my game is turning out.

I am that kind of person

Killed Chloe. Cried like a baby. Also like that you visit Kate in the hospital. Very nice, but I'm worried she's gonna end up dead anyways and we just put it off. Gonna check out Nathan's room now. Ick.

Thanks, Brian.

np! just didn't want anyone to click thinking you were still talking about episode 3

Oh yea. My b. I did finish episode 4 though...

I take back every nice thing I said about Mark Jefferson. That ending blew my mi- um, surprised me. Watching Chloe get shot wasn't very pleasing either. I had thoughts that Rachel was dead. When I pieced together all the evidence, though, I was convincing myself she was in that barn. Chloe's voice actress is astounding. I could feel that pain and sadness in her voice when finding Rachel. It sucks watching her die in both realities. Choices: I accepted Chloe's request. I didn't want her to suffer anymore, even if it wasn't the real Chloe I knew. I let Warren beat up Nathan. After everything he's done, I don't regret it. Plus, Chloe got his gun, so he can't hurt us in the immediate future, if there still is one. No one got hurt. I'm surprised I didn't fuck up and have to rewind. Everything was calm, cool, and collected. I warned Victoria, and she believed me. I'm not a fan of her, but i don't want her to end up like Kate and Rachel. It would have just made me feel guilty Minor choices: Saved the Blue Jay. It didn't die in episode one, but it got stuck in the house, which apparently would have meant it died if I didn't let it out. I didn't disturb the nest. Just snapped a quick pic and put the plank back. I hope the bird I set free wasn't the mother. or else she might not be able to get back in. I found the code to the padlock. I remembered the code from when i was snooping the other day. Kate helped find Nathan's room. I don't see how this is gonna have consequences. like, is Kate gonna tell Nathan she helped or something? Didn't convince Daniel to go to the party. Who the fuck is Daniel? Didn't leave a message on Warren's slate. Didn't realize I could. I went straight to Nathan's room. Not much exploring on my part. Didn't figure out Nathan's PIN. It was a lot easier than trying every code I saw. Who cares? Helped Alyssa. No brainer!

Episode 5 theories	+
Maybe Max has the pic of Warren and her and can go back in time? Maybe David goes back to the house to see the evidence board and saves Max? Maybe the principal knows about all this? There was whiskey in the Dark Room, and Wells is the only one I know that has a secret stash of whiskey and was visibly drunk.

I'm just glad I get to play the game myself now and not watch a youtuber play through it. Now I just have to not fuck up.

Also episode 4	+
I found it heart warming that Chloe apologizes for being a bitch when Kate calls at two Whales and when she blows up after Franks RV search. She's definitely grown as a character in her own way. Makes me sad to know that she's probably dead.

@ Boc	+
I wouldn't be so sure everything stayed the same after William died again. Chloe puts a halt on guilt tripping Max and she even comes back to pick Max up and apologizes for the meltdown from before Max went back in episode 3. It's a small change, but it's still a change.

Hi. I bought the season a while back and haven't played yet. Will this run on a decent laptop so I can play at school or should I marathon all 4 episodes on my desktop tonight

I say marathon. Laptop may have frame rate issues. My low end desktop can barely run it at 30 fps.

I'd play one and let it soak in for a bit before getting right into the next one tbh. I can see it getting repetitive anyway

Story has more IMPACT if you give it time!

^ ya that

The game's kinda built to have you SAVOR the experience. Unlike Telltale games I don't mind the wait too much for these

I'll probably play episode 1 later tonight. I might try it on my laptop but I don't want to get partway through and have to switch and redo everything to that point

So I finished Episode 4 and I'm like...

Spoiler	+
Though I can't completely say I was 100% shocked (I knew something was up before the reveal at the end because I eavesdrop on people's conversations and I'd been suspicious since like episode 1), because my brain immediately went into speculation mode.

I'm playing through episode 1 but I'll probably sleep before continuing. I feel like I've spent the last 500 years in Chloe's garage.

Enjoying it so far otherwise though
