Not much has been revealed surrounding an estimated run time or when to expect a list of cast as the deal has only just been signed, so keep your ears to the ground and wait for more details to emerge over the coming months.

Life is Strange focuses on the story of a young girl named Max Caulfield, a high school senior with an interest in photography who discovers the ability to manipulate time. The game runs over five episodes and has received acclaim for the story, characters and progressive themes you’ll find all throughout the experience.
