Cult classic Life Is Strange was released in 2015 and explored Max Caulfield’s ability to rewind time to save her childhood friend Chloe Price from being murdered.

Jumping back in time through a selfie, Max now has just three days to work out how the fire began. Can she make the most of her second chance to prevent this fiery disaster,” explains a press release.
