Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a new mainline entry in the narrative adventure series from Deck Nine, bringing back protagonist Max Caulfield. As Max, a photographer at Caledon University, players discover the murder of her friend Safi. An attempt to rewind time instead opens a parallel timeline where Safi lives, but remains in danger. Players shift between these two realities, pursuing suspects and investigating clues to solve as well as prevent the same murder.

Max's unique power to Shift between timelines forms the core of the investigation; players forge allies and gather information across two distinct versions of reality. Player choices shape both timelines, influencing the narrative path while a relentless detective pursues Max, adding urgency to the unfolding mystery. Players explore two versions of a vivid winter campus, each packed with clues, secrets, and tough decisions, all underscored by an exclusive original soundtrack. This is a dual-timeline murder mystery driven by player choice and consequence.
