If you haven't read the comics, it's a version of events that tells a complete story after the bae ending. A green hair Chloe is present in the comics.

If you read that and you still have the desire to play as Max, I feel like Double Exposure can be treated as a game that simply explores a different version of events after LiS1. This is how I'm choosing to go about it.

what comics? why are there comics ?

Life Is Strange: Dust is the first volume.
And I don't know why, it was enough for me to just enjoy more storytelling centered after the ending I chose.

Nothing has surprised me more than how surprised people are that Chloe would break up with her, when that was so blatantly obvious to me even back when playing the original game, and even more obvious after watching how her relationship with Rachael Amber.

The blue haired chick with BPD who has repeatedly shown a habit of pushing everyone away including Rachael Amber for getting close to Frank and who repeatedly has pouting fits any time Max disagrees with her about anything no matter how minor with lines like, "Everyone abandons me, of course you would too." the second things get even slightly hard for her. That is supposedly the person who'd never abandon Max? She is literally the stereotype of BPD mixed with an avoidant attachment style and they're one of the kinds of people most likely to leave a relationship the second it gets hard.

These posts are all basically, "how to say you have never been in a relationship with a person with an avoidant attachment style without saying you've never been in a relationship with someone with an avoidant attachment style."

The thing is, those with abandonment issues tend to stick it out more than others would since they know what its like to be left behind and/or abandoned.

Chloe has a clear case of it and she likely broke up with Max cause she thought 'she will likely abandon me again, so lets end it now, before she does' understandable, but very sad.

Cause those with abandonment issues tend to push away those that they need most to get over it, its like a form of self-sabotage.

Also, another possibility is, that she felt like she was trapped because Max actually did sacrifice a town to save her, not very logical thing to do, its more emotional and highly immoral....so it could have felt like to Chloe that she was obligated to be with Max cause of what she did for her survival and then wondered if it was why she was with her in the first place, so she left.

So in theory she could return and try to get her back if she realises she WANTS to be with Max and not out of 'she did this for me, so i owe her' type of thing, which is not a mentallly healthy thing for anyone to experience.

Am i saying, this is the case here? nope, just saying, it MIGHT be the route D9 *could* take, stressing the word *could*.

IT honestly depends on how negative feedback about it happens.

Honestly that's a real possibility.

The comics were originally planned to be a 4 issue limited comic series got stretched out to a 20+ issue story. For those wanting nothing more than a cuddly Pricefield slice of life drama, that ain't the main focus of the comics. Instead it focuses on Max getting sent to an alternate reality where Chloe and Rachel are a thing, and Max has to return back to her timeline.

Quite frankly, if you're looking for more than just Max and Chloe, you're better off reading fanfics that LiS players have been putting out for years.

Chloe is dead because we sacrificed her but now I'm mad they made max break up with arcadia bay.

emotional attachment to a town < emotional attachment to a best friend and/or lover

[alex010300]

YES, because of game-play reasons that you will understand if you play Chapter 1.

[peter4i4ik]

Lets see it, if they did it, it would be last mistake for game dev for D9

And I wonder whether Max will ever recover from this traumatic decision.

Now that would be a plot twist.

This game is not canon.
It's just a double cashgrab!

[prestonm1993]

I choose to believe that Double Exposure is one possible timeline and there's another where they are together. But I mean people break up all the time, relationships aren't forever sadly.

Also in my head canon Chloe will come crawling back in 5 years and then Max will be hung up on someone else. Exactly as what happened to them in the first game.

I think this is the one issue that has broken the franchise. Anyone acting like it wasnt a big deal doesn't realize that 50% of the choices and 99% of the cosplay and fandom circled around people pushing two pony dolls together and screaming 'KISS DAMMIT'. People can call that out as stupid all they want, but it's frankly carried the Sims franchise for multiple decades. If you don't like what you're selling, go sell something else and leave the original product be.
