Upon returning back, she learns that the father of her best friend Chloe Price died in the year she left.
Chloe then became friends with Rachel Amber who helped her with grieving.
Unfortunately, Rachel disappeared in those five years in a mysterious way.
Max and Chloe decide to investigate her disappearance.
The player has the option to rewind time and redo any choice, given that no checkpoint was made in between.
All choices made by the player have an effect on the ending of the game.
Rewinding time does have its charms, but Max quickly learns playing with time can have disastrous consequences.
The individual episodes were released between January and October 2015: Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis Life Is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time Life Is Strange: Episode 3 - Chaos Theory Life Is Strange: Episode 4 - Dark Room Life Is Strange: Episode 5 - Polarized On PC, PS3, PS4 and Xbox One the first episode was released separately with the option to buy a season pass for the remaining four, or players could buy the entire season at once.
For Xbox 360 the first episode was also released separately with a season pass for the remaining four, but without the option to buy the entire season as a single purchase, which is why the platform is not covered by this full season game entry.
For the console versions each episode can be bought as DLC for the first one.
For Windows episode two to five is not available separately, but only as a single purchase .
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2022.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
