Released Life Is Strange: Before the Storm for Linux
If you enjoyed Life is Strange which Feral Interactive ported to Linux two years ago, Life is Strange: Before the Storm has been officially released today for macOS and Linux!
Developed by Deck Nine, the game was released by Square Enix for Xbox One, PS4, and Windows in 2017 in three episodes. All 3 episodes came to Linux and Mac as part of a deluxe edition, which also contains a bonus episode and a costume pack.
Although part of the 2015 BAFTA Award-winning Life is Strange series, you don’t need to have played the first game to enjoy this one, as Before the Storm is a standalone story prior to the events of the first game.
“Life is Strange: Before the Storm follows the unlikely friendship between Chloe Price, a rebellious sixteen-year-old, and Rachel Amber, a popular student destined for success. Chloe and Rachel must confront each other’s demons and find a way to overcome them,” says the game description.
